ATTENTION MUSICIANS! This site needs a Midi (or mpeg) of this music. Can you make one and email it?			Some Mormon scholars say that Kolob is not a planet -- it is a star. Other Mormon scholars think that KOLOB's stellar status would only make things worse -- It would simply be too hot!

Or see the grand beginning, where space did not extend? Or view the last creation where Gods and matter end? Methinks the Spirit whispers, "No man has found 'pure space'," Nor seen the outside curtains, where nothing has a place. The works of God continue, and worlds and lives abound; Improvement and progression have one eternal round. There is no end to matter; there is no end to space; There is no end to spirit; there is no end to race. Revision 6-8-2002

Links: Heaven's Gate Play it again, Zork!		Mormons do not sing this song as much as they once sang it. Some mormon scholars believe that it ought to be banned because it is about space travel, and might lead to ridicule by skeptics. In a collection of Mormon songs, for example, HERE, one can see that it's listed, but the music is not available. It's still available here. (Some believers have been observed only to mouth words during service!).
	"The notion of traveling to the stars is a concept compelling enough to recur in countless cultural artifacts, from Roman poetry to 20th-century popular music. So ingrained has the concept become that when novelists, poets or lyricists write of reaching for the stars, it is instantly understood as a kind of cultural shorthand for striving for the unattainable. -- Stephanie D. Leifer Scientific American, February 1999"		♫ If you could hie to Kolob: The Kingsfold Midi File ♫
