The Question of Eternal Bliss

           I see no logical ambiguity in the idea of an all-powerful, supreme being or multiple, infinite, universes.  The concept of a presence that is greater than I can comprehend is logically possible.  In a two dimensional world three dimensional objects/beings are nonsensical. Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, by Edwin A. Abbott, made that clear.

           In our three dimensional world spread over the fourth dimension of time a four dimensional being spread over a, so far unseen/unproven ‘fifth’ dimension is impossible for me to comprehend.  But why couldn't there be something; that was here before change, that could know the entire universe over its entire life, all at one time, that would be here when change stops?  This ‘being’ is unknowable to me so I won’t deign the possibility of its existence.

           But there is something that I cannot see the logic of, eternal bliss.  As humans, on this earth, in this form; we are conceived, we change, we die.  If there is a next world, in it the Supreme Being; has always been, never changes, is all knowing and will exist for ever.  If humans were to exit this world and end up in the supreme being world, without changing to a supreme being state of all-knowing, never-changing-ness, the option of another ‘death’ would have to be one of the logical outcomes of a life after death, if this life after death includes change.  Simply stated, if you can change, you can die.  If you don’t know everything then you can learn something and that is change, so if you don’t know everything you will change and you can change by ceasing to exist.

           But for me the really big question is; if life after death here on earth does exist, how could eternal existence be considered bliss?  Is there anyone that can honestly say that they want to be an eternal/all-knowing consciousness? Have you thought about what that would mean?  You would never sleep.  There would be nothing to do or learn.  Nothing would ever change.  Anyone that says they want eternal bliss is a liar or at the very least, they have not given it much thought.  And I think they fear death way more than they enjoy life.
