I’ve reached the part in Robert Monroe
where he visits the future after the year
3000 – humans have transcended the
need for physical bodies
Being pure consciousness, which can
inhabit any awareness, from a leaf to a
cloud to a panther and bird; they live
ensconced in a reball*
A resonant energy balloon keeping the
layer of air around the body always
constant* and people hibernate
as much as they like
Movement takes place through the power of
the mind, the earth is restored to perfect
balance*, food being created through the
intensity of concentration
Obfuscating all vestiges of human
survival – this is the perfect place
for me, how can anyone expect me
to return to the present
Now that I know how little our rituals of
survival mean, what spiritual progress
will bring; how superhumans will shine
in clear, loving radiation
At a date in the future – how strange
to contemplate “how small we are,
how little we know…”**
* Quotations from Robert Monroe “Far Journeys” pp.212,213,215
** Must be sung to the tune of the song: “We laugh, we cry, we live, we die, and when we’re gone, the world goes on, we love, we hate, we learn too late, how small we are, how little we know! ”
