The over-arching goal of life is to prepare for the Afterlife 
In this goal then is split challenges to overcome 
It is not enough to lead a life fulfilled with experiences 
In that experiences are fulfilling to life, they are not to the Afterlife 
Even though one should look to Spiritual Masters for guidance 
One can also look to previous movements and religions for answers 
In the Americas in the second millennium, Transcendentalists Knew 
And all around them the Spiritualists experimented with the Afterlife 
Yet the time before history, the Pyramid Builders spent lifetimes growing 
Growing in Spirituality until they formed long-held traditions 
These traditions grew into religions which formed over Millennia 
To these one may start a path to Spiritual Growth that guides  
From my experience one may also find some Truth, as Core validates 
Such as the need to address transgressions in life and absolve them 
Such as gathering Knowledge to find a key to the lock of the Mind 
Such as perfecting Oneself, in as much is possible, in order to be blameless 
Those with higher Knowing will understand human perfection is impossible 
For human nature is one in which imperfections always exist 
Yet that does not prevent one from trying to improve: body, mind, spirit 
With these and more paths, one may build a lifetime of Spiritual Growth 
One who is perfected; Has sought Spiritual Masters; Will Know the Afterlife 
AD INFINITUM feat. Nils Molin – Afterlife 
The reality of the dreamstate distorts Consciousness 
The reality of human existence is stable Consciousness 
Yet in humanity is found limited creativity unlike the dreamstate 
In the Afterlife, Consciousness has no anchor in its out of body reality 
Sakis Tolis – Here Comes The Sun 
How we prepare for the Afterlife in this Life matters 
To prepare the Soul for the next reality without Knowing It-All 
The answer to the unasked questions is Spiritual Growth 
Look to the pyramid builders for insight into the Afterlife; Aten-Ra 
Where do we go when we don't know where to belong... 
The American Spiritual path is obscured by religious indoctrination 
Yet to Know simply look for the symbolism that guides one inside 
American Transcendentalism has past, but its truth still guides Us-All
