Well, Brett, I don't necessarily disagree with you about dimensional aspects of the universe as it relates to spiritual realms.
The question becomes, if these realms exists, and I have evidence for that being true in my life, beyond book smarts, how do we learn to navigate it? If we ignore it, it is still there.
In human populations there are good folks and not so good folks. By extrapolation, in the universe, and in the spiritual realms, there are good folks and not so good folks. Most the time, humans learn to distinguish between the good folks and the not so good, through interaction and experiences. Sometimes learning the hard way is the quickest way. So the more of us who learn to interact, the less likely the few that are interacting will be misguided by the not so good folks?
