ABSENCE OF TIME Never ending eternity forever escapes our definition of meaning by measure, even though here and now when hearts stop beating some souls pass through a long dark tunnel to the being of light who reviews their past and sends them back to be more humble, friendly and helpful, none have ever quite totally died, passed over, then returned to life to tell the whole World all about Heaven or Hell like so many tourists reliving their travels. Thus any depictions of life after death are religious writings whose physical images we know too well: "the windows of heaven"* "the gate of heaven"* "the clouds of heaven"* and several hundred other material descriptions of an immaterial, spirit existence of which we know almost nothing, except it is there waiting for each soul to rise up and away from its dead body, forever. *Ge 7:11 *Ma 24:30 *Ge 28:17
