HOW DO WE KNOW?

1

How do we know death is not the end

We know for countless folk have been to Heaven

And returned to tell us how it was

And how Reality transformed before their eyes

2

We know because the story is correct

Souls are ourselves. No other story fits

Souls all have aims. Those aims are infinite

Our story is that life is how we loved

3

Religion is transformed before our eyes

Spirituality not outworn creeds

Unbounded love not old moralities

Changed attitudes not dour communities

4

The story grows more true as time goes on

Communication grows more provable

Spiritual awakenings more prevalent

Miracles more physical than etheric

4

The story has more reason as it grows

Growing consensus creates growing truth

More people know that life is more than this

The more is heaven closer day-by-day

5

The truth is ever clearer year by year

Religion once held keys. Now science does

We’re finding that we all are energy

And each of us has our own frequency

6

The supernatural is obsolete

Experience defines reality

All souls experience things uniquely

Science has yet to fathom consciousness

7

Debunkers can argue with these truths

But their ground seems to shrink when they try to

The world is moving to expand its view

It will acknowledge heaven when it’s through

8

Consciousness will fill the meaning void

It is the foundation of what’s real

It is an opening to all that is

It daily widens our awareness

9

How do we know that death is not the end

We’re free to say it is if we desire

But I say we live on and on and on

In an adventure that will never cease to be

10

I have but laid out fragments of the truth

Set forth to beard the lions in their den

The lions are the very ones I cite

I’ll write more verses till I’m satisfied

11

Ontology can tell us how we know

Reason, logic, truth, reality

Ask yourself what might cause us to be

Ex-nihilo endowed with consciousness

12

Compelling near death evidence

Is changes that take place upon return

Like balky electronics happenings

And changes in one’s likes and objectives
