Food and Drink in Heaven

1

No one can be an expert on something one knows nothing about. So this is pure speculation. The subject is clearly interesting to many if Google is accurate. Is food and drink in heaven a big deal?

Clearly the answer is yes. And to clear up a major hurdle for the materialists among us, the consumption will be virtual. No plumbing needed. No untoward results of indigestion.

This ought to advance the fortunes of those who, like Bishop Berkeley, claim that earth is virtual reality as well. Idealist philosophy is not dead at the hands of the mentally-deprived fundamentalists of materialism. That is unfair but it reads well.

Food and drink should be an aesthetic high. Wolfing down glop is the sad fate of most of us. But there is no reason we should not be able to think our diet and have it laid out in Per Se style.

Souls advanced enough to indulge will presumably be recondite and not wolf down their modest portions. I kid, but signs indeed suggest that the dimension we call heaven is not slow chronology but instant spacetime. That makes materialism really difficult.

It probably makes most of what we spend the most on nonexistent in the realm Jesus now lives in. Cars, single family homes, debt-laden education? Not so much on the other side.

Even to write about this, there must be at least some anecdotal evidence. There is. It amounts to at least a million narratives that suggest that the materialists are dead wrong. I use the last two words advisedly.

Psychic, out-of-body and near-death evidence may be of little interest to those with exalted mentalities like our most vocal and prominent atheists. The mind has never been so supple as in the narrative of materialists who accord the individual mind truly superhuman capacities. All the time saying it is firmly lodged within us.

Eating and drinking will be much easier when it is virtual. We will be able to give it up at will. We won’t need food nor drink. One could go on.
