Heaven is
a wonderful place where all want to go.
Everyone is dying to get there, yet, few are
ever ready to leave.
For many the only reason to exist is to
ultimately wind up in this special
place which is referred to as Heaven. If the
keeper of the gates was only
admitting those who had a track record of
responsible behavior before they came he
would be out of business. One of the
traditional definitions of
Heaven is; The abode of God, the angels, and
the souls who have been
granted salvation. b, An eternal state of
communion with God; everlasting
bliss. The basic concept of it being in the
clouds or out there somewhere.
Word games, theologophical games and mind
games, little wonder all the
confusion.
All the great teachers tried to tell us we
have a perceptual problem. All our
physical earthbound sensory inputs tell us
we are here. In being here we
experience a wide range of events and
sensory input, some being joyful
and others quite painful. Our need for a
Heaven is the desire to eliminate
the painful aspects and heighten the joy. In
every experience when we feel
pain, we want out of here. On the otherhand
no person would ever consider
leaving while experiencing joy.
Consider the possibility that you are
already in Heaven and you don't
realize it. Consider the possibility that
you are an eternal part of creator and of
creation just having an individuated
experience.
Most concepts of Heaven in their profuse and
eloquent descriptions only
add to the confusion for one reason, most
externalize its existence. Our
perceptions are influenced by our
perspectives. Look at every experience
with wonder and opportunity being revealed
to you. The ones that bring
pain are quite possibly teaching you the
most. Those of joy and pleasure
are the end result of every experience.
For all practical purposes while you are
here, you might as well assume you are
already in Heaven and make the most of it.
