Given the Lord of the Rings, it records miracles and Gandalf's control and manipulation of physical laws of the universe; hence Gandalf transcends space and time and reality exerting his influence over everything that is real. WE could get closer to Gandalf than that It is something you must experience for yourself. What I meant to say is that the universe has measurable properties and predictions can be made from those measurements and those results are true while Gandalf concurrently exerts his influence over the physical universe without affecting those results. Gandalf can remarkably transcend time and space and reality. The greatest pleasure any man can experience is not physical pleasure but a real relationship with Gandalf.
See how silly that sounds?
