I like the suggestion about the Transfiguration in the newest commentary that I have, The Paulist Biblical Commentary: "It seems best to regard this occurrence on a 'high mountain' as one of those moments in the story when the barrier between the heavenly and earthly slips away for a time to allow his (Jesus') divinity to shine through." For some years now I have come to imagine heaven as sort of a dimension separated from ours by a thin membrane. I imagine Jesus as a kind of portal through to the "other world."
