If Heaven is within you so, why wait to die? Just for once let us ignore the leaders of most religions and listen to Yeshûa. These are his words: "Heaven is within you", or more precisely:
The Kingdom of God is within you.
(Or to put it in modern idiom)
The energy to create your reality is within you
Correct me if I am wrong, but the last time I looked, most of us assumed that God resides in Heaven. This would depend, of course, of what we mean by God and by Heaven. If God is an Old Man spending most of His time on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, or hovering up there, above the clouds, then we're in trouble. He'd never fit into the Heaven within us. If, however, we assume God to be the Eternal Omnipresent Creative Energy of Consciousness, then there is absolutely nothing that would stop Him/Her/It from abiding within us.
Now, there are two ways to discover, even join, this incredible Creative Consciousness within us. One is to wait a few million years until mother nature evolves (or doesn't) within us the awareness of our potential, or... to do it here and now, on our own. Only the "Few" choose the latter. Most haven't heard about it; many have heard but didn't believe it or were just too lazy. But the Few were looking, and looking, and never gave up.
They, the Few, have been richly rewarded.
Still are...
They were rewarded beyond their wildest expectations. Or as Yeshûa had said, (I've quoted Him before but it bears repeating),
“The
one who seeks should not cease seeking until he finds.
And when he
finds, he will be dismayed.
And when he is dismayed, he will be
astonished.
And he will be king over the All.”

I have been baffled when I first read this, particularly by the statement that "he will be dismayed". Why? Because it is nothing like whatever we were taught by various religions? Nothing, absolutely nothing like it. Dismayed by Heaven???
Yet, consequently, we "will be astonished". The realization that we, and we alone, are the absolute rulers within our Kingdom is as surprising as it is unbelievable. And yet...
And yet, "we will be king over the All"!!!
(The exclamation marks are my own.)
The "All" is, of course, the Energy of the Omnipresent Creative Consciousness. Nothing will be beyond our ability. We shall be, to quote the ancient prophet, as gods.

That's about it. A few years later I began my research for the book below. It took a while. I discovered that the quotation above has nothing to do with any religious concept of God, or Heaven, or any other religious designation. And yet, I also discovered, even as you will, that the Kingdom of God, of the Creative Energy, the Creative Power, really does rest within you. Within everyone of us, regardless of our "worldly" position, financial, intellectual or any other standing we hold.
It is Omnipresent, hence, it must also be within you.
Try it. Only please, remember, “The
one who seeks should not cease seeking until he finds." The power you are seeking is absolute. It is almost scary. Or as Yeshûa had said, "you will be astonished."
(A shortcut to the method of visualization, particularly as regarding healing the "incurable" ailments, is offered in a book by Evelyn Monahan, "THE MIRACLE OF METAPHYSICAL HEALING).
