I've just looked a little, but the website seems to be almost exactly what I hope to be true.

I (and probably most everyone else) can imagine a million existences better than this one, and often do when asleep and dreaming.

The greatest thing would be if the reason we imagine such great places, is not because of escapist delusions, but rather because they are glimpses of our futures.

This sub-link is coincident with my imagination of such places, I find it to be great reading.

(C.S.Lewis described Hell similarly - maybe that is where I got my notions.)

I've had thoughts about Heaven too. Suddenly I find myself standing on the middle of a wooden bridge over a river in a forest. It is early morning. There is snow on the ground, and I can see my breath, but I don't feel cold. I walk off the bridge and along the river's left bank, headed upstream. I hear the constant clinking of the water through the ice. The only others around are deer and rabbits among the huge pine trees, who approach without fear. I am in no hurry at all. Although I don't know exactly where, I am sure that I am headed home.

Not so much fiery as cold and slimey.

Gollum would feel at home in these nether regions.

Along with the "Foundation" trilogy, "Dune", all of the "Conan" series, I read all four of the Hobbit books at the start of high school. But, I never saw any of the movies. How can a movie hope to live up to one's imagination while reading? How long before anyone who reads anything at all (or even who knows how to read) will be considered a freak?

(As I recollect, C.S. (Jack) Lewis and Tolkien were faculty friends.)
