Heaven

There's a story about a very educated English gentleman visiting a great Buddhist master. The holy man poured a cup of tea for the Englishman and kept pouring and pouring until there was tea all running on the floor. Finally, the Englishman could not sit silently any longer and asked: "Why are you overfilling the cup?" The Buddhist master replied: "This cup is like your head. It is so full of your own thoughts that nothing else will go into it. You must empty yourself first in order to learn anything new from me." So I ask you to clear you’re mind before reading on. BBC

The highest truths as I know them came to me from the cosmos and not from books that mortals wrote. They may be in some books but there are a lot of books out there and a lot of them are just full of nonsense. One of my highest truths is that we are spiritual entities here to experience this physical planet. But they teach our human brains many stupid things here and mankind has to overcome all that in order to make this planet what it should be, heaven on earth.

Aside from the fact that we have had all kinds of beliefs pushed at us during the course of our lives, deep down inside us I think we all know what heaven is.

You think about heaven all the time. You are often thinking things like, "well this thing going on here, this is nonsense, it can’t be like this in heaven because I see it a different way in my mind." The thoughts you have everyday is you creating your heaven even though you cannot create it here. You can’t create it here of course because others get in the way of your doing that, they won’t do and act as you need them too. Others in fact often screw your little world all up and you wish you could make them be what you want or need them to be too you.

Heaven is anything you want it to be. You can build your own world in whatever ways you like. You can be the age you like, have the body as you would like it to be and look how you want to, or keep changing that appearance. You may have what friends and close loved ones you want around you, and they will be the way you want them to be. You have any material things you want like cars, boat, toys, whatever. Only the thoughts you want to have will be with you. You can surround yourself with unconditional love of anyone you like, have sex with anyone you like, have all your ex mates or ones you loved with you and you will all live in harmony. You will experience no evil unless you choose to, although I don’t know why anyone would want to. If you lived an honorable life the best you could the cosmos will allow you whatever you want when your mortal body dies.

Truth has no special time of its own. Its hour is now – always.

Look, each heaven is tailor made, I can’t tell you what it is to you, but would the cosmos, the spiritual world give you anything less than what you need? Only you can decide what your heaven is. Each of you are your own entity, yet part of a greater whole, so of course you create your own heaven. I can’t tell you what your heaven is, but you can.

If you have friends and a mate that you would like to be different in some ways you can make them that way in your heaven. They likewise can make you the way they would like you in their heaven. That is omnipresence. You can be two different beings in two different places at the same time. Or a hundred or thousand different beings, fulfilling each role as needed.

You don’t have to believe in a heaven, an afterlife. But isn’t it just as easy to believe in it as it is to not believe in it? Isn’t it just as easy to believe also that you are part of a greater spirit, omnipresent, always here? That if you are worried about the future of mankind and this planet that it is simply something flowing through you? Something that doesn’t want it to end? So that you can keep enjoying it? Make it Heaven on Earth? This is a physical planet, a touchy feely place where when you touch something you actually feel it.

An example of that. Close your eyes and think about clapping your hands. Now open your eyes and clap your hands. Think about hugging someone, now go hug someone. You see the difference? You get actual feeling and sound here. Heaven, and the spiritual world is just a place of thoughts, that is why you can’t look out there in space and see it.

Some times you do want to leave here, but you arrive here with an instruction hard wired into you. "Survive". If you leave to early you may miss an experience you can take with you. Heaven is a direct projection of what each of you value most. But I do question what some folks heavens would look like, or what they want and would have here. In fact it’s others and their greed’s that often make it hard for you to have things the way they should be here.

Your soul is a spirit, part of a greater spirit, it shall live on. Now you know how to build your own piece of eternal bliss so start collecting the gifts and loved ones you want to take with you in your thoughts now. If you miss something don’t worry about it, they know what you want.
The cartoon below by the Over the Hedge author got it right, this person has figured it out pretty well. Click on the small panel to actually see the cartoon, that I didn’t get permission to post here, see how I am. Why would I? I am the all, I had him make that cartoon.

Hold hands and stick together now, it gets nasty out there on this third rock from the sun.

Twinkle, twinkle little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Maybe you are just a thought.
But then again, maybe not.
