Why do you suppose writers write books about made up lands and far away things? Why do producers make movies about other worlds and impossible possibilities? What's more, why do the rest of us read these books and see these movies time and time again?
Some theorists say we use these forms of entertainment as an escape, a way out of the every day grind. I have a different idea. I think we imagine, write about, watch, and dream of things outside of our visual realm because deep down we know there is more out there than just what meets the eye.
Our minds may not be aware of it, but our hearts know there is more. That's why we cannot get away from questions about the afterlife, about God, about things that seem unreal. In our heart of hearts, we know they are real. We know there is more than we can see on this plane of reality.
Just because we don't understand something does not mean it doesn't exist. Sometimes I wonder if I'm too far out there, but then my heart reminds me that there is no such thing.
