Eschatology

If you are really going somewhere at death, and not just into another 'round' of recurrence, you should know. You should know because individual eschatology starts now, and puts you in contact with God now. Vertical realization of Real I, Jesus in you, you in Jesus. Movement in the 5th and 6th dimensions of time, inward and upward, effected by the two conscious shocks. What we value becomes manifest. Most of us want to continue where we are. When heaven and glorification come off our tongue it is just talk. Maybe self-consciously shallow talk, maybe self-deceived (or deluded) shallow talk, but merely talk. Usually, though, when a person becomes one who truly values escape from recurrence to what is higher, it should be admitted, it is because at that point they have no choice. They got there by what they value, but they stay there because of the necessity of being in-between something real, which is forwards, and something that is death-failure, which is behind.
