Our universe is a play of matter and energy, back and forth. Life is a special form of that play. We are a special form of life, capable of freedom because we are capable of seeing our own purposes and realizing them. In the Christian Gospels (Luke 17:21), the “kingdom of God” is within us. Eighteen hundred years after Luke, Enlightenment skeptics rightly said that virtues cannot be extracted from the world around us. The world of what ought to be, the fifth dimension, has its own rules. We can make them work for us, and for the world, but first we have to understand them.
