Socrates has a dream and in the dream a woman in white greets him on the road. She says to him in three days to the pleasant land of Thea which is a place in Greece. It reminds me of when Ramana Maharshi was a great Indian saint was dying his devotees were also around him and said don't go they were saying heal yourself ah do a miracle but he said don't be silly where could i go. Thomas Merton said this to you don't go to heaven it's not like leaving and traveling you you come back into the essence of what you always were.
