Regarding the transdimensional nature of Spirit...

Brother Brown, it appears we have read some of the same 
books.   :-)

Let me throw this into the mix.

(Ephesians 3:17-19 KJV)  "That Christ may dwell in your hearts 
by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, {18} May 
be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and 
length, and depth, and height; {19} And to know the love of 
Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with 
all the fulness of God."

Notice that verse 18 speaks of four dimensions, not the normal 
three of human comprehension.  It mentions breadth (or width), 
length, height and the elusive depth.  I say elusive because this term 
is not just a spatial dimension like the other three.  The Strong's 
definition is a follows:

depth = 899. bathos, bath'-os; from the same as G901; profundity, 
i.e. (by impl.) extent; (fig.) mystery:--deep (-ness, things), depth.

We could interpret this as just the unfathomableness of God but 
if we consider it a spatial dimension, that leaves us with a four 
dimensional existence.  How are we then to comprehend the nature 
of God?  What if we then extrapolate that spirit is a dimension beyond 
the normal three?  Could then 'Heaven', the abode of God, be an 
alternate dimension?  

Consider that as three dimensional beings we can act upon things 
of lower dimension though technically we remain fixed in a three 
dimensional world.  If God is for the sake of the discussion, four 
dimensional, He as a higher order, could act upon the three 
dimensional world while remaining outside of it.  Also consider that 
when we receive the Holy Ghost (or Holy Spirit) we then have a 
'piece' of a four dimensional existence.  It is a link to an existence 
beyond our own, beyond our comprehension.  Please understand 
that I am not in anyway trying to impersonalize the Holy Spirit, 
the Spirit of Christ in us.  I am just pondering the nature of God and 
His action in us.  I do not believe that God is limited to our three 
natural dimensions nor do I believe He is limited to four dimensions, 
He is by His nature, limitless and boundless.  But the above 
Scripture refers to something beyond our normal understanding 
of three dimensional spatial relationships.  It is actually closer 
to an Einsteinian understanding of space-time.

Just some thoughts...

(1 Corinthians 2:10 KJV)  "But God hath revealed them unto 
us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the 
deep things of God."

I am seeking after the deep things of God through His Spirit.
