Sans Mind-Body

Transcending space and time, the realm of the soul, Sans mind-body experiencing another dimension, I believe that is when we become completely whole, After the soul is no longer confined, an ascension To what some call “heaven,” but I prefer pondering Unseen potential and extraordinary possibilities, Far beyond our fields of imagination or wondering Where nothing is beyond newly acquired capabilities. “Eye hath not seen and ear hath not heard” so grand, Is this place -- past, present, and future -- combined Unrestricted, we shall have abilities to understand, Where there’re no questions, all knowledge refined.

Congratulations on your first place win Milton. I enjoyed reading your Sans Mind -Body. For me this is something akin to the StarTrek saying... To boldly go where no one has gone before :-D

Thanks, Anne. It kind of has that ring to it, doesn't it.

Congratulations on our top win Milt. You have given me so much to ponder in your eloquent vision of Heaven, "unrestricted" to receive all that God holds for us there - all that we cannot possibly imagine and freely given for us to explore without time or space in eternity. This is a fav for me. Thank you for blessings us with your words and the depth of your wisdom. Sending you blessings of the eternal seasons.

Love your reference to eyes and ears unable to compare what the future will hold for all of us. As John trying to describe the wonders in the Revelation - his feeble mind and language could not do justice to the majesty of it all. You are right, we cannot comprehend "heaven".

Thank you so much, Reason. I hope I'm getting this right. And, I do agree that heaven is vastly more than the human mind can conceive.

I too am looking forward to being unrestricted "Unrestricted, we shall have abilities to understand," - I cannot wait! But alas, wait, I must.

We must all wait until it is our time...our turn.

Who and Why are we?

In the long run, Shirley, that is the pressing question and concern. "What is our purpose here" is humanity's most profound mystery.

Interesting concept Milton. I think I am more traditional in my thinking, but one never knows all that there is all to know. Interesting to read, Best wishes for the contest...

Thanks so much, Michael, for your kind and thoughtful comment. "...one never knows all that there is all to know," sort of sums it up.

I like your idea. Perhaps 'Heaven' IS badly outdated and out-of-sync at this point... We'll find out, I hope... :) gw

That is the one certainty, gw. Who knows, we may discover it at the same time...but we'll both definitely discover it in time.
