First Moments in Heaven: Senses
Soul, I think you’ll first thrash around in all the smells and sights and feelings and sounds and flavors that permeate heaven. Deeper, richer, more pungent, surprising, satisfying. You’ll roll around in, dive into, breathe unimaginably deeply in, soak in the reds and blues and greens and oranges and browns that fill the air the earth the atmosphere – sucking them into your core from theirs, deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper until your sensory receptors want more but aren’t yet prepared to embrace.
Then a respite. A satisfaction. Knowing that the infinite color array means just that. No need to grasp or write-down-quickly-because-I-might-forget-or-lose-it. Each of these known colors will be forever available to plumb and explore. No potential color loss. Only gain in completeness and depth.
Then you’ll notice that besides all the colors you got introduced to on earth and the sensory mechanisms you had available, there’s more.
Other colors you’ve never even glimpsed because you didn’t have the neurons or rods or cones to get a hint of.
Infinities upon infinities upon infinities of colorness. And each bit diveable, immersible forever and ever and ever just like the ones you already got a bit of. And could have a new name and set of hues and timbres and relationships to each other without end.
Oh Soul! You’ll get lost in it but never be lost!
And each sense you know on this earth now will seem a mere pleasant, vague wisp of memory to you then.
Play! Play! Play! Even now!
Tarts, massages, bracing heat after rigid cold, smells…. You’ll explore every sense you’ve skimmed on earth and then there will be unfathomable, illimitable oceans of senses no human can imagine.
