Eternity in heaven, scary thought

Thinking about eternity after death can be very scary indeed while we all want to live in peace and joy forever after we die; the very unimaginable idea of everlasting eternity is daunting to our mortal understanding.

How would we occupy ourselves, for eternity, would one not become mind-blowingly board with our heavenly friends in a place of never-ending, eternal happiness and peace, without any challenges after billions of years would become unpleasant like eating barrels of ice-cream.

Try to think the moment you die, you must go to a very new and strange place full of strangers no matter how pleasant they are.

If God is going to wipe away every tear and supply all our needs, what then is left for us to do, in this heavenly realm of ecstatic bliss?

Eternity is a very long time. In fact, if you were to measure eternity it would take you forever to complete your measurement.

In fact, you would not be able to finish the measurement at all, because eternity has no ending. In fact, eternity does not have a beginning either.

Although of course, as we think we have explained so far, it would not actually take an eternity, it would just feel that way. For eternity is an incomprehensibly long time.

It boggles the mind how one could even start to explain to someone how utterly and totally mind numbingly long eternity it simply goes on forever and ever, without ever ending

A very much smaller unit of is the googol year, One ‘googol’ year, is how much?

10 to the power of a 100

As an example Lets take a number smaller number than  googol years say 100,000,000,000 or in other words a hundred  billion years, compress  them billion, billion , billion, billion , billion , billion , billion , billion, billion , billion , billion, billion, billion times so that they fit into the thickness of a single dollar bill a billion billion billion billion billion billion billion billion times over, and one-googol years would give still give you a pile of money that reaches one hundred quadrillions, quadrillion, quadrillion, quadrillion, light years high.

It would not even fit into a universe a billion, billion, billion, and times larger than our own immense universe.

How small fleeting and insignificant we are we are?

One googol year, that’s truly staggering, totally beyond anything, a human can comprehend.

Nevertheless, compared to eternity it is infinitely small 

Take a hypothetical example of a small bird sharpening its bill on the peak of mount Everest, only once, every zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion, zillion,, zillion, zillion years.

And yet when mount Everest is completely worn down only the first moment of eternity would have begun.

Why do you people keep referring to incarnations, where you must return to a physical body over and over again?

Your material body is just a set of clothes you soul used to negotiate itself through mortal life on planet earth

Yet you want to return again and again for another set of clothes, why and what for?

As for me, when this physical body of mine dies I am not returning to this gray bleak existence again, but moving into the light in an ethereal body that never perishes.
