Can We Perceive the World Beyond Through Our Senses? You'd Be Surprised, But It's Possible

There's a common saying that goes "What you don't see doesn't exist." This saying is certainly fundamentally incorrect, as there are numerous things in our world that any sensible person knows exist despite the lack of visual evidence, such as radio waves, radiation, and more. However, there is a need to perceive things tangibly or intellectually to accept them. We live in a world of material, of senses, of needing to see in order to believe. As is known, the spiritual dimension cannot be measured, seen, or felt. So, how can we be certain there's a spiritual layer in creation, that there is a divine reality overseeing and managing the world? How can the existing means within our physical life be used to perceive the existence of Hashem?

Spiritual entities like angels or seraphim are beyond our sight, as long as we are bound by the limitations of the material. Certainly, Hashem cannot be seen, as it is said "No man can see Me and live" (Exodus 33:20). But, there are two means by which we can witness the existence of the Creator. The first is observing the wonders of creation – the countless stars across the galaxies, the magnificent world of oceans and deserts, forests and mysterious nature, unique and diverse animals, the sunset and sunrise, the human body which is a complex marvel that even today, the medical world hasn't fully understood, the incredible biological processes occurring in the human body, and just observing the wonder of a baby's creation, a living and feeling human being that begins from a tiny drop. Could it be that all these came into existence randomly without any planning hand? Could it be that a sophisticated and complex work of art, beautiful in its intricacy, was created by a random convergence of circumstances? Creation itself testifies that there is a Creator. From the complexity of the universe and the human being, the divine reality can be perceived, as Job said, "And from my flesh I shall see Hashem."

All the nature around us is a clear miracle. The exact distance of the sun from the Earth allows water to be liquid - between steam and ice. If we were closer, the Earth would burn up, and if farther, we would freeze to death. Beyond that, the precise balance of oxygen in the air, if the oxygen percentage were higher, a single match could ignite the entire world, and if lower, we would struggle to breathe. Does all this not point to a creating hand?

The second means by which we can witness the existence of the Creator is the Torah. There is rational and tangible evidence that the Torah could not have been written by a human being, and it was given by the Creator. The Torah contains astounding wonders spread across various fields, such as encoded messages with knowledge of everything happening in our world, mathematical wonders, knowledge of the animals existing across the globe that no human could have known, promises and prophecies that would embarrass any believer if even one were disproven, yet they have all come to pass, logical proof of the Sinai event through the verses written in the Torah itself, evidence from the world of science.

The Creator does not ask us to believe blindly, but demands us to reach clear knowledge - "Know this day and take it to your heart that the Lord is Hashem" (Deuteronomy 4:39).
