The spiritual plain is a dimension of reality that we cannot see with our eyes. It is not an enclosed landscape that we may comprehend and think through logically, for logic only aids in cases where all relevant facts are known. 

Think of what technology has become, its vastness, its exponential progress over decades. What was unimaginable then, is literally drudgery now. If this is the case for the visible, that we can touch, see, hear, smell, smash, manipulate, and control - imagine what unknowns remain in the invisible which we may glimpse as through a looking glass only in part. 

Do not use logic so swiftly, for even then, you may be led astray. Do not think upon that which is too high for your soul, says St. Paul the Apostle. 

What we know is in Scripture and in the writings of our fathers and the saints that followed. If we cling to the ballast, we will never drown or be lost along waves nor sink beneath the ocean depths. 

The deceptions of Satan are too many, too many. Act and be strong, be bold and do great acts that lead to God who is unavoidable and present before us. Do not falter in the weakness of discerning all things in order to feel safe enough to act. The next move is known to you, logically and also by knowledge of the commandments of Christ. 

Honor your father and mother, feed the poor, and love one another with genuine love, build the kingdom upon the solid rock, Christ, and pray with love in sincerity from a pure heart. There are active commands to do, not only those to avoid. 

Run, seek, and spread the good news, to the whole world, for Heaven is within your soul, inside your own heart, where there is bliss at a moments turning inward, and it is not in most others in this world. The good news is freedom itself within chains, and sight to the blind who may never even see. It is bread to those who may die starving. It is water to those who thirst. So then, go, and preach, and give the everlasting bread and water to all that desire, for in giving them this, you give them a good death, not only offering the bread from the market, the water from the well, but the love from your heart, the love from God.
