I can imagine never getting bored because I am never bored in this life. So why,
if life continued in another dimension, would I be bored? Besides that, as I said before, we will not be thinking in terms of time in the spiritual world as we do here, because there will be no time as we experience it here.
Bored is probably not the best word I can use to describe how I feel about THIS life. No, I would not want it to continue forever because there are so many things in THIS LIFE that I do not enjoy, but rather have to tolerate in order to live.... But I am
never bored because I do not have time to get bored.
As long as my mind is active, I can never be bored and since there is
always something new to learn, I can never be bored.
Before I came to forums I was in college for over 15 years because I have always sought knowledge.... Now I am in my religious period of life so I seek knowledge of God, but I continue to be fascinated by people, since psychology was my most recent academic field. I can never be bored as long as I have posts to read and people to post to on forums. People and their different thoughts and perspectives are fascinating and there are always new people to learn from.
Why do you think that the spiritual world would be repetitive experience? You probably think that because you project your experience in this world onto the spiritual world, but the spiritual world will be NOTHING like this world.
You will still be you, but that is the only thing that will be the same. Of course, I do not expect you to believe what Baha'u'llah wrote because you are not a Baha'i, but here it is:
“The world beyond is as different from this world as this world is different from that of the child while still in the womb of its mother. When the soul attaineth the Presence of God, it will assume the form that best befitteth its immortality and is worthy of its celestial habitation.” Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 157
“If any man be told that which hath been ordained for such a soul in the worlds of God, the Lord of the throne on high and of earth below, his whole being will instantly blaze out in his great longing to attain that most exalted, that sanctified and resplendent station…. The nature of the soul after death can never be described, nor is it meet and permissible to reveal its whole character to the eyes of men.” Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 156
No matter the religion, scriptures do not contain any detailed depictions of the afterlife, we are just left hanging for the most part. I do not like that, but there is not much I can do about it but read books about it.
I cannot understand how anyone can be attached to this earthly life, but I am sure many/,most people have had a happier life than I have because the world would not function very well if everyone had a life like mine.
This life has never been a picnic for me, but I *believe* the spiritual worlds will be a lot better. That does not mean I am not frightened of dying,
I am scared to death, because I do not like the unknown. But I do have faith in Baha'u'llah so I believe what He wrote. I have
no idea what it actually means except very generally, but I just accept that I am not supposed to know, for the reason noted in the passage above.
“O My servants! Sorrow not if, in these days and on this earthly plane, things contrary to your wishes have been ordained and manifested by God, for days of blissful joy, of heavenly delight, are assuredly in store for you. Worlds, holy and spiritually glorious, will be unveiled to your eyes.You are destined by Him, in this world and hereafter, to partake of their benefits, to share in their joys, and to obtain a portion of their sustaining grace. To each and every one of them you will, no doubt, attain.”
Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 329
