We ought not judge a deeper and different plane of being by our reactions to the present one. Here, its limitations inevitably cause boredom, impatience, and dullness if we have to sit unoccupied for a few hours. There, those limitations are non-existent and consequently we may sit for a whole eternity, yet in its stillness feel only contentment, serenity, and the sensation of being unutterably alive.
