Life everlasting The final threshold for everyone is the threshold of death.
It is the moment unlike any other when Knowledge gives way to Mystery. But its stages of development are well known and we can chart the child's progress through childhood to adulthood with a fair degree of accuracy. The threshold of death takes us into uncharted territory. We do not know what happens to us after death. Some claim to know what lies beyond - but often offer images that seem closer to earthly existence than to eternal life.
