But, (there is always a but), there had been mystics, in the past, Rumi comes to mind, who did seem to experience euphoria that is not quite possible to describe in words. Nevertheless, I share with you the concept that "heaven is what you make it", hence, hopefully filled with love. As for other people, well, they have only themselves to blame. After all, "we are gods,". stan@stanlaw.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13240385919703527628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860928176864796725.post-68251091322186443172017-09-16T10:05:23.568-07:002017-09-16T10:05:23.568-07:00In contemplating heaven, again just now, a new tho...In contemplating heaven, again just now, a new thought occurred to me and in actualizing it, I enjoyed such joy as to "drown the stage with tears of joy" as Shakespeare might put it. Suppose, as Jesus said, the Kingdom of Heaven is within you but what might constitute that particular heaven is also ordered up by you during your life without even having known it. And so there I sat, waiting for what that heaven might be: a reunion of dear ones and so forth and one by one and as glad to see me as they ever were, my pets came, purring and rubbing up against me, chirping, barking and even jumping on me again. From my first turtle from Walgreens and to all the cats and dogs I made promises to that I couldn't keep for one reason or another, in them forgiven at their first sight of me. Crying even as I write this, imagine how wonderful that would be and further wonder that should it get no better, would that not be enough? In concept, heaven, whether within us or otherwise would be too wonderful to endure in life and so can we not say that heaven is justifiably restricted to those who have passed this world? As I think of it now, it must be that wonderful. Too wonderful to endure in this world. Just a thought.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08677791428642003062noreply@blogger.com
