~ HEAVEN ~
Say, what does this word mean? Is it a place in the blue nowhere, containing only angels flapping their wings, and praising the Lord? Is it a state of mind, a spiritual level or just nonsense?
As we sometimes may experience a state of sheer luck this might strengthen our beliefs in the second eventuality. Of course, modern man doesn’t find such a place very likely apart from the fact that we leave our bodies on this Earth. Which leave us completely without means to hear, talk or sense anything?
The same must apply to the so-called “hell”. How on earth can you feel a punishment if you are without a body? You will probably be able to neither feel and physical pain cannot wail or express your feelings.
And yet you might be able to think or have an inner feeling of what (the hell) is going on. So heaven could very well be a spiritual level.
Should this be the case you still miss someone or something to pronounce a sentence, if you are to experience the uttermost bliss, or the contrary. Could this somebody or someone be an entity called God? Or is nobody else present except you? This last assumption demands a little speculation whether anybody else than you exist, or are you just dreaming that you are in existence? Maybe you are just a figment of the mind. Whose mind? Your own? Gods mind? This assumption presupposes that an almighty God or Creator really exists.
If we are to believe the Bible, we are told that God loves his whole creation and that He does not pass judgement or condemn. But as we are narrow minded we tend to impose our assumptions on Him, and that may be the reason why the Church has taken on the very human point of view, that God is an old man with a white beard, and equipped with human qualities, even if He is above all.
The next possibility is the
spiritual level. Does such a level really exist? This cannot be proven scientifically. Well, what about electricity? You can only prove that this invisible cause exists by way of its effects. Likewise you cannot prove the existence of thoughts directly, or can you?
