Afterlife expectations

I detest negative expressions that infer we don't or can't know something, especially when I have some ideas that some people insist I can't have.  I don't know everything about what is in store for us but I do have a lot of ideas which God has given to me.

And I am fine with the idea that flying may be a kindergarten-type of activity.  The easier it will be to do the better, I think.

Not my intention to be negative. Just being realistic. In mortality we are constrained in our cognitive faculties -- by design. Our Father has determined that we are, in potential, at least, capable of coming up to His level (or we wouldn't have been sent here). But in our mortal constraints we are literally incapable of fully understanding what He wants to gift us with. You say that you have ideas that the Spirit has given you, and I won't argue with that -- I have similar insights gained the same way. All I am saying is that what He has in store, if we are worthy, is beyond our mortal understanding, even if we have been instilled with a better understanding that most.

You added the word fully this time, which makes a big difference, and I agree with that.  I believe we are capable of understanding quite a bit beyond what some people think we can understand, to what seems at least very near fully understanding, but to fully understand we would need to fully experience not only the thought but also the act of living the life we will be living when we fully live as our Father lives.
