Concur -
Some folks, say those afflicted with techie genes, like to call 'it' 'other dimensions'; that way a one can imagine ~ "we'll solve it Real Soon Now.."
Most call it 'higher levels of consciousness'. Possibly attainable with certain sorts of efforts -??- but not transmissible to another homo-sap, second-hand (gotta Love Cosmic Humor, if'n ya wanna chat w/ Godheads.)
We live by and kill for metaphors every day.
-- Jos. Campbell to Bill Moyers, in the last of that series.
(And anyone who imagines a metaphor as 'history', or as some bodacious Factoid == is a Fundie. Not to be trusted beyond the babytalk used to inculcate innocent little kiddies of all ages.) We could make that a crucifixion offense, though.
