There are two actual outlooks on the world possessed by every man, and the ancient story tellers were fully conscious of these two outlooks. They called the one "the carnal mind," and the other "the mind of Christ." We recognize these two centers of thought in the statement: "The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." I Cor. 2:14 To the natural mind, reality is confined to the instant called now; this very moment seems to contain the whole of reality, everything else is unreal. To the natural mind, the past and the future are purely imaginary. To the Christ mind, the spiritual mind, which in our language we will call the fourth dimensional focus, the past, the present, and the future of the natural mind are a present whole. It takes in the entire array of sensory impressions that man has encountered, is encountering, and will encounter.
Every man possesses two outlooks: the 'carnal mind' (natural man) and the 'mind of Christ' (spiritual mind or fourth-dimensional focus). The carnal mind perceives reality as confined to the 'now,' with past and future being imaginary. The Christ mind, however, perceives past, present, and future as a present whole, encompassing all sensory impressions across time. Habit makes man blind to this greater, fourth-dimensional outlook.
