Next day reflections
Because of our vision and how it works, we see one layer of the world. One, thin, single layer. God can see countless layers of the world, the rays of light, the color of darkness, the wind in the air, the spirits we walk in and among, the layers our souls are made of, each and every one. We see one little layer, the flesh of our skin, we see the texture of a shirt, the bright colors of a comic book, and yet we can't even see all of it! Most of it actually. Did you notice the trees on your way out the door today? How many times did you see someone you knew today? What's the color of your house? So many things we don't even see on our own plane of vision. It's practically impossible to stimulate your brain with so much information at all times. (I say practically because I refuse to say impossible)
So if we're so limited in such an already limited vision, how can it be that God sees everything in our field of vision, plus every other possible vision? He is so infinite!! Just sitting down and think about this simple fact puts things into an amazing perspective, doesn't it?

In pyschology we're learning how the eye works and what we really see is just a bunch of waves, the colors depend on the length of waves, etc. All that we see is just stimulation. Look at the desk, that wood painted plastic and what we see of it is just a thin layer of waves, even though no matter how hard you look at it, it never changes. Look around. It all seems somehow less concrete. Everything that I see is just what my brain translates what it sees into. My 'real' is not so solid anymore.
Now think about what God sees. He doesn't just see the visual surface of anything, He sees the light, the rays, the beams, the constant vibration of matter, the force of gravity, how thin our reality really is, how we think we have such a solid hold on it, how we don't.
Reality seems... thinner now. Well, at least the physical reality does. I wonder what would happen if I looked through this lens for too long.
