All Ain’t What It Seems To Be
Heaven? Where Is It And How Do We Get There?
Stop Lying to Yourself
A 2005 poll discovered that nearly nine out of 10 people in the United States say they believe in heaven.
Secret #4: Heaven is not a place rather, it is a state of mind. Evolve your thoughts – correct your mind – and you will experience your version of Heaven right here on Earth. I mean, where do you think your Soul goes when your body dies? Paradise, Eden? No!!
We can live our lives on planet Earth feeling like we’re in Heaven, already! Yes you can! And, no, it doesn’t depend on what others are doing or not doing that dictate your personal experience.
Instead, it truly depends on HOW you THINK about what you and others are doing and if those thoughts are causing you to FEEL anything LESS THAN unconditional love that will be the true indicator for whether or not you are living in Heaven. That is, a Heavenly state of mind.
Heaven, my friend, is all around us at all times. How can that be? Simple. It is because God is All There Is. And do we not equate Heaven to God or some other name for the Highest Source?
Ok, but let me explain. Heaven only exists within the dream, the illusion I refer to as ‘The Box.’ If you haven’t already, you should read my first 3 Secret posts. It will help you understand what and why I refer to certain things the way I do.
The Box (aka ‘The Mind’) is a closed system although the system (Laws of the Universe) makes us THINK (because that’s what minds do – think) it is not. It makes us think it is expansive and unending.
Of course, it is, but only within a confined and limited space of ‘The Box’.
You see, The Box is our perceived reality. It contains all of our thoughts (and there are many!), desires and delusions. And it is because we have fallen into our own perceived trap, not unlike going further and further down the rabbit hole, that the collective mind has become delusional BECAUSE we believed in our own lies. Isn’t that just f—- up? Yes, we are not only Madhatters, but we are delusional by our own hand.
We made a reality that isn’t real and then we believed in it making it real for us. We wanted to know what it was like to be the opposite of Stillness (100% Pure Consciousness). The crazy thing about it is that because we are One (not 7 billion individuals) and exist in Stillness as/with our One Source, we actually ‘fell (from grace)’ into the belief that we could possibly be something WE ARE NOT!
Talk about crazy. Don’t you think that way when you see someone trying to be something or someone they are not? Yeah, for sure.
And that’s what we’ve become in our own illusion – we had to become delusional in order to believe and trust that ‘this is it!’ That this is our life, this is our truth and existence. That this reality is as real as the nose on your face. Right!
Let me set the record straight … you don’t have a nose. 😂 Nope, your nose ain’t anymore real than the illusion you wake up to every morning under your imaginary bed sheets in your imaginary bed.
You might want to ask: Why do I want to know this?
Great question: You want to know about your madness so that you can FINALLY become sane. Make sense!
Yes, it is only because you become aware of your insanity that you can begin the process of correcting your thinking (beliefs about this reality) so that you can sane-up. That’s the only way, I’m afraid.
Think of it sort of like going to a mental health counselor to help you deal with your dysfunctional thinking patterns that get you into all sorts of trouble with others that it’s making you anxious and depressed. You don’t just want to learn how to cope, though that’s a good ‘first step’, but you actually want to rid (heal) yourself of dysfunctional thinking (delusions) so that you can change your perspective about your life and others in it.
And I’m sorry to say, you have to heal yourself. No one else can do ‘the work’ for you. I know, because this is my earthly domain – providing mental health counseling services.
But, until you become aware of the trouble-making thoughts you’re having that have become imbedded hard-wired beliefs in your subconscious mind, you’re just going to flap around out there in your delusions continuing to have all sorts of unwanted experiences and then complaining about them to others. In other words, you’re going to continue to walk on autopilot reacting by default to your environment and experiences others bring to you that you get upset about. You MUST become aware of what you’re not aware of, but nonetheless, it is ‘there’ for you to see with eyes wide open.
What is it? It’s the lies you’ve been telling yourself for eons suppressed deep down inside your subconscious mind. And it is these lies that MUST, from time to time, bubble up to the surface into your conscious awareness that causes you to feel anxious, depressed, angry, unworthy, etc.
Why? Because they’re lies, right! How do you feel about lies? Don’t you just hate it when someone lies to you? Do you know why you react the way you do when any one of these false beliefs (lies) bubble up where you are confronted by it? Because you ALREADY know the TRUTH!
Yep, my friend … somewhere deep down inside of your big mind is the TRUTH. And the Truth is that this is NOT your True Home and the reason why you feel so bad about the lies is because you MISS HOME! I know I do!
So, one of the first false beliefs you will want to reconcile with is that there is NO Heaven; this concept is only a fabrication of the collective mind that has fallen down a rabbit hole of lies and more lies. And concepts are lies because only minds have concepts. Stillness, in comparison, does not have concepts or a mind to think.
You regain your sanity by correcting your perception of where you Truly Are – in Stillness – which is your True Home – your True Heaven. You finally choose to put away the dollhouse of bodies and worlds to rest your mind (because it needs to rest, after all of these lying thoughts) in Stillness.
In other words, rest your mind in meditation. Reconnect with your Home in meditation. Become Still awhile. Let Home sink deeply into your psyche where It can go to work pulling out all those pesky weeds of lies that were planted in your subconscious mind.
I’m going to say one thing here … we operate from what’s going on in our subconscious minds. And for the most part, it ain’t pretty! Nough said.
So, until tomorrow when we talk about walking upright as opposed to living your life walking upside-down on your head in your perception, have a great day.
