Just this morning in Fr. Richard Rohr’s ”Daily Meditations”
I was reading about fourth dimensional thinking being an absolute assault on
the reasoning mind because it is a different mind that pays attention to
different things.
Our ego-centered mind legislates for itself…everything is
personal and is seen from the personal view…how we personally feel, how we
personally look, what’s in it for me?, etc. According to Rohr, “as long as you
read reality from the reference point of the small self of [the personal] you
cannot get very far. The lens never opens up.”
So I’m loving this, and I’m pondering it while I’m feeding
Ruckus, and my thoughts wander over to a get-together in early September that
I've invited three friends to (at the suggestion of one of the friends). I note
it is late August, and I haven’t heard a word back from any of the three.
My first thought: “Their behavior is rude, disrespectful and unacceptable. When I hear from them, I’m going to claim that I've made other plans…see how they like it.” I was half way through a mental Miss Manners’s rant before two heartbeats had passed.

Fourth dimensional thinking is easy to ponder…living in the
fourth dimension, not so much.
Thank You.
