I remember that in Lewis' "The Last Battle" (the last book of the Narnia series) when the End of the World comes and the Pevensie children go on to the next world, it's all more intense: the colors more colorful, the peaches more peachy, the zest of their bodily experiences more zesty.

This did not, of course, deny or negate the goodness and realness of bodily life on this earth (or in Narnia): it was just deeper, wilder, better.

Just as we Christians do not believe we shall experience an eternal disembodied life as some gaseous being, Casper the Friendly Ghost or whatever: we believe in the Resurrection of the Body.

Correct. And the farther they followed Aslan, the deeper, wilder, and better it all became.
