Assimilation is Symbolic Annihilation- Tom Estes
Here reside the unbaptized, the virtuous pagans, and those who did not pay fitting homage to their respective deity...Wise but faded beauties, knights in white satin, a dispossessed Arab prince, people who can talk to animals, an astronaut or those who have lost everything and have no regrets. Grieving their separation, without hope of reconciliation- they hope for something greater than rational minds can conceive. They are not punished in an active sense, but rather live in their deficient form of heaven; an ever-expanding rubric of visual and acoustic possibilites.
