The stimulus for this blog is from Derek Miller who passed away from cancer a few weeks ago. He writes very well about his life and his family, but his continued atheism on his death bed was depressing. For many, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but for some there is only darkness. It is very sad when someone doesn't tune into a spiritual reality during their lifetime.
The reason mankind has progressed on so many fronts including "The War On Cancer" is because visionaries like Moses have seen some "Promised Land" in their future or their children's future. With our physical senses we're aware of the here and now, but with our spiritual senses we're aware of spiritual realities like "The Light" which turns on during near death experiences.
The sum of anyone's life is more than their human experiences. Religious mystics, sci/fi writers, paranormal researchers have widen mankind's cosmic view of the universe. This certainly happened to me with my own "Cosmic Views Of The Universe" on the right side of this blog page.
Today's world was built on the hopes and dreams of our forefathers. Tomorrow's world will be built by this generation's hopes and dreams. This includes concepts of Heaven, higher civilizations and where you personally will end up.
