Expanding Inward Gene Thomas Colwell

We each have inner and outer worlds. As we approach death we tend to exist more in our inner world with more solitude and increasing detachment where time seems to flow forward or backward with little or no regard for world time. We may have greatly expanded space-time and increased mental capacity but we find it more difficult to share our new-found realm with those around us. As a result they often assume that we have a diminished mental power and even that we have developed a kind of madness. I have learned over the years to view phenomena with many more dimensions (perspectives) than those few I had as a child. I accept the rules that God has imposed on us and believe that should be no inherent conflicts between religion and science as they search (each in its very different manor) for truths in both our natural and spiritual worlds. I do not fear my soon to occur death since I have "Expanded Inward" to a powerful and peaceful realm where I continue to grow ever closer to God.
