Spiritual Evolution
A place to heal the soul and free the spirit
Finding heaven on earth
The Spirit reveals the true heaven
We will first look at the beliefs about heaven that are in the world today. Let me add that it isn’t any wonder that people are confused about what heaven really is, when you look at the website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven
Some people describe heaven as a place of peace and rest for eternity, well this would amount to nothingness. Some as a place of worship but to go through the sufferings of life for the privilege of becoming a worshipper would only serve the requirement of a cruel and vain god and finally, some see heaven as a new earth with a new physical body which are the desires of those who are seeking physical pleasure as a reward.
I have to add here that the belief that we take our physical bodies with us is untrue for Heaven is a spiritual realm and the physical realm has no place there because the spiritual and the material are of a different nature. Imagine two ice-burgs floating in the sea. The young ice-burg says to the wise ice-burg, ‘where do we come from?’ The wise ice-burg said ‘you will know when the sun begins to shine.’ Heaven refers to a spiritual realm.
As explained in ‘Spiritual Realms’, there is also a spiritual realm that surrounds the earth and another separate spiritual realm, within the Universe, this is why it was said, ‘this heaven will pass away and the one above will pass away.’
The main theme in most beliefs seems to be and is true, that a soul has to reach perfection to go to heaven. The truth is that you do not have to die to reach this state of perfection and be in heaven. It is said that ‘the kingdom of heaven is inside of you’ so logically, we can all access this state of heaven in the here and now. This was explained fully in ‘The Sacred Place’. Just imagine if you will a life lived in a state of bliss with no fear, guilt or worries, wouldn’t that be Heaven? Reaching perfection in Love, does seem a tall order, yet when you really look at it, it’s all about letting go of the world and choosing Love above all things, but what does this really mean? The truth is, as long as the world and society has a hold on you, then you are hooked in to it and it’s very difficult if not impossible, to become perfected and then be able to leave the Universe and go home. If you seek the way home, then you must first find Heaven on earth, for it is the key that will release you from the prison. When you look at the world, how many people do you see who are finding Heaven on earth? How many people do you see that are free?
Ultimately it is every soul’s mission to reach the spiritual realm that is outside of the Universe which is God complete. This is the place that we usually refer to as heaven and to return to heaven, you must be perfected in Love. Only then will you become free from all darkness and you will only be capable of doing what is good and right. In this realm, because of the knowledge and understanding you will have, selfishness before others will not be seen as a choice. There will be no darkness in the spirit of your soul, and no darkness in the place you find yourself in.
In heaven you have the power to create anything you desire, that is why you must first become perfected in Love, when you become as a smaller finite version of the Originator. Worship is not required or demanded here and there is no need for payment of any kind. Love is fulfilled by the return of Love, but it is never a demand.
So now you have glimpsed heaven and whatever the soul desires or creates will be of Love. Heaven is an infinite place with infinite realities; it is the home of all perfected souls.
The
Heaven is everything dealt with, in order and under control. There is peace in your soul’s domain with no doubts or fears. There are no wild animals in your garden, there are no threats. It’s a realisation that everything is outside of you and that it’s you that makes the connections not the things outside of you making the connections to you. You become the master of yourself and nothing or nobody can affect you unless you choose. You realise that you can’t die. You are completely separate and alone until you forge a mutual connection with other souls. You realise that life is just a game and you are a player.
‘All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players’ (William Shakespeare - As You Like It)
Life is just a game and the world is a stage that once you step into, you forget that there’s anything outside the play. You are stuck in the play until you remember and only then can you step off the stage and out of the play. You then refuse to perform and conform because you see how futile and pointless it all is. You can be your true self and stop being an actor.
It is in stepping off the stage and observing the play that you see how wrong it is. The play was inherited by the players who believe that the show must go on. They believe in it and pass it on. They are so caught up in their part in the play that that is all they can see. The original script, written by the original author that was meant for everyone, lies on the floor and is only seen when the player leaves the stage and sits in the audience, and the connection is re-established with the author. There are all different plays going on, because the original script was lost, and the players/actors are acting out what they believe is the original script.
The people in the play are in competition to control its theme. They are writing their own script, so the overall theme of the play becomes broken up into many different scripts/acts/scenes. Then the players are all competing for their scene to become the main one and are all striving to be the star of the show. They are all trying to control the overall theme of the play. The leading players choose the script that they desire and they gather the actors who have no script of their own, to join them in their play. There are many who join the play as extras and these are seen as of no real worth and although they contribute, they are seen as the most expendable and not worthy of recognition.
When one is acting in a play, the real self is always set aside and in our pretence, we try to be what we are not, just so that we can belong. It is only when either our part in the play is over and we leave the theatre, or we choose to step off the stage and become part of the audience, that we once again become our true self.
Enlightenment can be seen as standing on the bank of the river of life and controlling your own destiny instead of being dragged helplessly along by the current.
