Thx for joining darkelf,
OT always appreciates your input! 
OT, Dean Koontz is a fiction writer with some really good works under his belt. I’ve been reading him for years. He weaves the struggle between
good and evil throughout his books in a way that is not preachy. From the Corner of His Eye delves into the possibility of multiple dimensions
(similar to some of Stephen King’s works) but in a way that doesn’t seem so far fetched. It’s like the butterfly effect, where a butterfly
beating his wings in China can affect the weather in Chicago. Here’s an excerpt on this book from his site:
Bartholomew Lampion is born on a day of tragedy and terror that will mark his family forever. All agree that his unusual eyes are the most
beautiful they have ever seen. On this same day, a thousand miles away, a ruthless man learns that he has a mortal enemy named Bartholomew. He embarks
on a relentless search to find this enemy, a search that will consume his life. And a girl is born from a brutal rape, her destiny mysteriously linked
to Barty and the man who stalks him.
At the age of three, Barty Lampion is blinded when surgeons remove his eyes to save him from a fast-spreading cancer. As he copes with his blindness
and proves to be a prodigy, his mother counsels him that all things happen for a reason and that every person’s life has an effect on every other
person’s, in often unknowable ways.
At thirteen, Bartholomew regains his sight. How he regains it, why he regains it, and what happens as his amazing life unfolds and entwines with
others results in a breathtaking journey of courage, heart-stopping suspense, and high adventure.

I believe that God created space and time i.e. Genesis 1:1. I also believe that in the realm of the spiritual, there are many worlds we cannot see,
but sometimes we perceive them. If we have free will, and each of our actions has a consequence, then there must be a place where we’ve made those
decisions differently for different consequences some better and some worse. There has to be a way that each dimension exists and all at the same
time. Each life is like a giant oak tree with many branches, yet each tree is inter-connected. I’ve felt this before but I just don’t have
the words to describe those moments.
