What is Heaven?

what-is-heavenI have been going to a very nice church and I really like the people there and the people are nice, but what I don't like is the exclusive nature of what they believe. They really think that only a certain few people are eligible to go to heaven and the rest go to the other place. I really believe that everyone goes to heaven. I really believe that horrible people on earth get forgiven when they die. They are led by Jesus, God and the HS to understand that they were temporarily insane when they did all the bad stuff they did. They kind of wake up in heaven saying, "I know what I was feeling but what was I thinking?" This happens all the time there and is a normal everyday thing. All this punishment and reward crap the people at my new church think is very, well, insane. Now of course the victims of horrible people all get to go to heaven and they are carefully instructed by J, G, and HS in just how it all works together and that we are all here to learn about how our unconscious desires work and to overcome them. Heaven to me is kind of like the community college I go to. Am I naive or just young and dumb? Have I been reading too much stuff other than the Bible. Does Satan own my soul?

If there is a god (and im not sure there is) I would think that someone that molests a child or kill someone like a child or rapes ...you know the really nasty people you hear of dont go to heaven. I would hope they go to some dark place to pay for what they did. I personally wouldent wat to go to a heaven that allows people like that to be forgivin and allowd in. I would like to think when you die you relive your memories and if you were a bad person in life the bad memories are what you get. if you do whats right and live the way you want to live be happy and honest you get the good memories. I dont know what happens when you die but i do know i want to believe in reincarnation! i want to come back as a bird or fish...somthin cool :)

God has been speaking to mankind since the beginning of time through symbols, allegories and pictures. When these symbols are properly understood, they unfold in very meaningful, spiritual implications for living life on this planet. When they are taken literally, they create the hell that is called religion. All holy books and religions are meant to unite mankind with God and each other, they are about transforming those things within each of us that are incompatible with our creator. They are in fact inspired mythologies, but nothing more. One good, honest look at all religion should tell us that something is amiss with it's interpretation. It always, always, always creates the same thing: My God is the true God and my truth is the only truth. Truth, in reality it about living substance, and not just having the correct information. In actuality, there are no chosen people, special people or a God handing out directives for people, though there most definitely is a God, the creator of all that is and intimately the greatest joy that exists. It is the expression of perfect love. Anything short of that has nothing to do with God, in truth, only mythology, which was meant to cause you to look within and work on those inner planes.

no body owns your soul,your soul is you! your soul is what you experience the world with,no body owns that,its yours and yours alone.but that doesnt mean that it cant be corrupted,turne d to the dark ways and made to enjoy the suffering of others,and to thirst for wickedness.
As for church,well be careful,ive always held the belief that if you want to find evil,look no further than a church,take a moment to look at some of the folks that go to your church and how they act,you usually have a multitude of certain types,
A: the manipulators: the folks that love to micromanage and be in control if not a big part of just about everything and everyone's lives,they get off on this tenuous iota of power,like people are their personal chess pieces,these people are not to be underestimated.remember wolf in sheep's clothing.
B:the Sponges:these are the ones that go to church simply for the financial side of it,they are there for the dough and will do anything to get it.again not to be underestimated or trusted.
C: the busy body/Gossip,this is another subclass of the manipulator group,but more geared to talk BAD WORD about everyone and pass judgment on everyone.likes to start rumors in the 3rd person example "oh you know i heard Ms Paulette's 16 year old niece is pregnant,she is i heard if from So and so nwho was told by so and so who went to school with her" see,they wont ever do anything direct.
D:the Holier than thous: this is the group that just wants to out do everyone in the church,pray more,donate more,shout "Hallelujah" louder than everyone...these ones are easy to spot.
E: the evil ones,these are the ones that want control of it all,you,your money,what you do in life,how you think,how you live,..these people are like vampires and blood when it comes to domination.so be careful
next time you go to church remember these descriptions,no w they can cross class a bazillion different ways,so just watch people.you'll see that most churches are brimming with evil.Remember,the devil has a hand in every single thing that involves god,and his minions often come bearing gifts of peace and love.
