After Death: Non-Local Knowledge & Perfect Perception

Here's what stopped me in my tracks while studying Aquinas on what happens after death: he says our memory and intellect continue seamlessly when the soul separates from the body. But here's the part that made me sit up straight—he talks about "non-local knowledge" where space and time limitations disappear. The soul can perceive without being positioned anywhere specific. You know everything all at once instead of learning piece by piece through your physical brain. What fascinates me is how this echoes what we're discovering in quantum physics about non-local perception. Aquinas was writing about this centuries ago, pulling from Luke 16:25 to show that souls retain their memories and knowledge after death. Think about it—no more learning in small increments of time and information. No more being limited by what your physical senses can process. Just immediate, complete understanding without the filter of your body. This isn't just theological theory. It's Aquinas explaining how the soul's mode of knowing shifts from depending on bodily senses to direct participation in divine illumination. The spiritual reality the Church has always taught, now being confirmed by modern science in ways that leave me absolutely amazed.
