Excerpt from Considerations on the Human Mind: Its Present State, and Future Destination

It is probable that this is the case, and that death, or the separation Of the mind from the body, is, as regards the mind, a change of habitation, and nothing more.

It is a pleasing change to remove from an Old and badly situated residence, to one more modern, and better constructed; where the grounds are beautifully laid out, and preserved in the best order, and where the air is pure and invigorating. This would, indeed, be a pleasant change for any Of us, but how much more pleasant would it be, if we were certain that our minds, when we die, shall at once be transported to a locality, where splendid residences are already provided for us - where new scenes Of surpassing beauty will be presented to us, for our recreation, and where a society of friends and companions, have made preparations to receive us on our arrival.

If we could realize this exchange, how rejoiced we should be, and how much greater ought to be our joy, if we were persuaded that all Our friends and neighbours, and all of our own country, and all the human race, Of every clime and creed, would be partakers, with us, Of this great happiness. Now, it is possible that this may be exactly as we would wish, - that this happiness awaits us, and that all, will be invited, each at his appointed time, to participate in it.
