Introduction

Heaven is outside of time, but we have to use time to get there. None of us would really want and deserve the kind of an endless existence if it were possible for us to live 400 years with some new vitamin. The mere extension of time to most of us would probably be a curse instead of a blessing. There comes to everybody, whether he's good or bad, some dim intimations of immortality,. such as Wordsworth wrote about, but will happen after death.
