   future as part of a spiritual learning process. Which is nice and reassuring   
   in the short-term. But    
   what happens at the end? What is the goal? Does an immortal soul ever stop   
   learning?

   frightening to me than being tossed into a pit of fire and being cast out of   
   existence altogether. I'd almost    
   rather cease to be than live eternally in static absurdity.

   to let it be. None so blind as those who will not listen.
