The landscape is exquisite—again, identical to Earth as it was before erosion, pollution, natural disasters, and human destruction took their toll. Atlantis and Lemuria thrive in clear blue oceans. The Parthenon, the Great Library of Alexandria, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Venus de Milo, all earthly wonders and treasures look brand-new. Coastlines and mountaintops are as sharply defined as the day they were created. And everything thrives in weather that is a perpetually calm, pure seventy-eight degrees.
There is no day or night, no time at all on the Other Side. All that exists is “now.” In our spirit identities, which are the finest of all our personality traits on Earth, we never need to eat or sleep. We have careers that reflect our greatest passions and talents, and our social lives are as busy as we choose, with the widest possible variety of friends since everyone at Home knows and loves each other. We create our homes through thought projection, just as travel involves nothing more than thinking ourselves wherever we’d like to be.
While God’s presence fills the very air we breathe, there are magnificent houses of worship everywhere, with all religions shared and celebrated. The angels walk among us, never speaking to us or to each other, making no sounds at all until they join in a massive choir to perform indescribably thrilling concerts of hymns in a revered structure called the Hall of Voices.
There is no negativity, no sorrow, no illness, no pain, no imperfection of any kind on the Other Side. No matter what age we were when we left our earthly bodies behind, we’re all thirty-three years old at Home, at our perpetual peak of vitality. We are pure love and purely loving with every breath we take. Our eternal lives are a constant celebration of the joy of living in our Creator’s holy presence.
All of which leads to what may be the most significant point of all about that time when life on Earth ceases to exist: with so much sacred, peaceful joy waiting for us on the Other Side, maybe we should stop calling it the end of days and start calling it the beginning.
