...sound: it was what came forth from God's mouth when He formed the mountains and designed the heavens....but is that true? Was sound perceivable? ...Now, if a tree falls in the woods (I'm kidding--that would be an odd direction to go in with this blog)....
Instead I want to look at God's word in wonder that perhaps each "thing" was not limited to a single dimension. What came forth was perhaps something that could be seen and heard, touched and felt--had there been cognizant awareness to perceive it. I was conversing with my good friend (Chelsea) last night and it brought me to thinking: perhaps God's transcendence allows him to create an essence, which exists in every (known and unknown) dimension and the effect of each object's existence has a delicate in-working with each other object. Like, light not only allows our eyes to see, its waves create such a white ultrasonic noise that actually carry the sound waves of other sounds. And its particles push along smells and carry energy (heat), which can in turn be felt. Light also has the ability to turn someone's day right around; while conversely, the absence of it may create a nice balance between "depressed" and "self-centered."
But here's the thought: we humans think that we are so special because we can smell things of substance and hear things that vibrate; but imagine this: imagine a smell, which you can touch and a color that you can smell. We humans are the medium of perception as we know it (only the dimensions we are aware of)... but imagine if we were acutely aware of the objects as they were created by God, those superseding dimension. Imagine actually "smelling the color 9" (cf. Chris Rice).
