Judging from accounts of mystical experience, heightened creativity, or exceptional performance by athletes and artists, we harbor a greater life than we know.

Instead we become available to our capacity for a larger life in body, mind, and spirit. In this state we know great torrents of delight.»

Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms.»
