We Can Only Speculate

The great beyond we can only speculate A Garden of Eden or nothingness What awaits us are we foregiven for our sins Or is there nothingness A wonderland of great riches beyond description Until we pass through the Pearly Gates It is only for us to imagine the glory beyond When we hit the bottom of despair We can't imagine ever recovering from this plight It is only for us to speculate

Hmmm...very interesting. Well, for me, I think the next life (dimension) will be a wonderful adventure. At least we won't be hindered by these imperfect bodies!

A lot of unanswered questions Jack, we probably won't know till we get there. Tom

Pertinent question, Jack ~ but we cannot use mind to go beyond mind :) silence and stillness answers the question ‘who am I?’

So true... we cannot "use mind to go beyond mind"!
