Can
heaven be for real and also not for real? Depends on your perspective!
Of course you have probably by now heard about the new best-seller
book and movie, written by a young boy who conveniently happens to be the son
of a minister, who conveniently believes in exactly the same kind of
stereotyped heaven as his son thinks he visited during a recent emergency
surgery. Imagine that, a young impressionable child adopts the same religious
belief held by his father.
The boy, named Cotton, upon having what is commonly referred
to as a "a traumatic experience" upon awakening from what he imagines
was death, has related his experiences during his "I died and came back to
life experience "in heaven.
I don't intend to repeat the young man's fanciful account of
his experience, but will explain something that any regular reader of the ABG
web articles already has some rudimentary understanding regarding the
principles involved here. I will first mention a few things that you should
already know since they are part of universal knowledge well imprinted deep
within the subconscious of every human being on the planet.
Colton's father (the minister) explains that his son, after
his excursion to heaven, knows things that no one else could know, but Colton's
father being a minister is in the worst possible position to explain these
matters since people of the cloth are severely hampered by erroneous distorted
religious drama and misconceptions perpetrated by civilization on itself
through the ages, mostly by organized religion.
As a matter of fact, those impressionable devotees of
religious teachings are the very people who hinder true understanding and who
have the least comprehension of the true nature or spiritual reality as it actually
exists in the physical world and universe.
It is a travesty that ministers, priests, clerics and others
of similar misguided persuasion are often given not only to teaching false
doctrine to simple minded followers, siphoning off their parishioners
treasures, but also contaminating the innocence of their children.
There are more corrupt priests, pastors, clerics, bishops
and popes holding positions of authority in religious institutions than there
are criminals in all of the penal institutions in the entire world. It is one
thing to purloin your neighbor's treasure and children's innocence, but it is another
thing entirely to pillage their minds.
If that isn't bad enough, through a process of regular mass
indoctrination, the aforementioned systemically erode their congregation's collective
common sense by preaching hair-brained magical doctrine steeped in symbolism
and legend about ancient myth, children's tales, superstition and really big
gods riding really big horses somewhere up in the really big clouds in a really
big sky and other such really big nonsense.
Before I get too carried away here let me remind you of the
one main universal rule that permeates all universes and planes of actuality.
That means that in the entire universe, in countless planes, in innumerable dimensions
and all reality systems, there is one main rule that is paramount and cannot be
nullified or ignored and in fact is the one main cause of the existence of the
universe, and that rule is;
"You Get What You Concentrate On"
You automatically and unconsciously materialize
and create as reality that which you believe, think about and expect.
You
are creating your reality now as you read this, you just don't know it because
the process of creation is automatic, spontaneous and works equally well for
good or bad results. You create objects and events as unknowingly as you breath
air.
An important part of my explanation will revolve around your
and my understanding of the word "REAL", and since the title of the
movie and book in question states that Heaven Is For Real, I suppose we will have to agree on what is real before we
begin any meaningful discussion.
The dictionary has literally hundreds of synonyms for
"REAL" so maybe it would be best if we try to come to some agreement
and define REAL before we begin. Real to you has many meanings, but here are a
few that will get us through this article. Real would be something that is
tangible, solid, opaque, hard, concrete, physical, visible, absolute or actual.
But real can be much more than solid appearing things.
Real can be anything that is absolute or actual. Here
is something that is not commonly known; a thought is as real as a brick. A
belief is as real as an automobile. An emotion, love or feeling cannot be
denied even though they take up no space and do not require time. In fact, they
are timeless and they certainly are real.
Unreal would be something, well, like Heaven, mind,
thoughts, ideas, imagination, emotions, beliefs and other non-stuff like wind,
although we all know wind is something, we just find it hard to
describe. You can't see air, but you can see the effects of wind which is air
in motion, so from that you deduce that wind does indeed exist.
Since most of the people going to see this film believe
in the story line, and are already firm believers in such concepts as heaven, it is
not too difficult to see why they would swallow the story line hook, line and
sinker.
Let me make it clear, I am not disputing that
"Colton" the young boy believes what he says he witnessed, but I will
try and explain why such things do have explanations that may seem equally
magical but in truth, happen more often than is widely known and they don't
require the existence of a hypothetical heaven.
They do require what many religious people lack, and that is
true knowledge of a universe that emerged into existence even though it knew
nothing of religious doctrine and had read no religious texts on instructions
of how to become a universe.
Let me try to explain a few of Cotton's imaginings and
relate them to true reality, as it exists in the physical system. These
imaginings are closer to being hallucinations, since you actually do create
them.
1. Colton talked about looking down and seeing the doctor
operating and his dad praying in the waiting room.
This happens all of the time
and is so common that I have written no less than 5 articles that can be found
on this site under "Out of body
projections and Out of body experiences. It is not uncommon for
consciousness to leave the physical body for short periods for various reasons,
and in fact, you do it often yourself during your nightly sleep periods. Stress
and trauma also help initiate and facilitate projections of consciousness.
Your consciousness can not only leave your body and rise
above a hospital bed and observe and operation, but can quite readily, under
certain circumstances, leave a building, travel across continents and oceans to
very real locations if the motivation is there. Your dream locations and
landscapes may seem very vivid and real because you are actually there. It is
even quite possible for you to communicate with others both dead and alive who
are also projecting. Remember, bodies die, consciousnesses exist forever and
knows no limitations.
2. Colton relates that in heaven he met his long ago
miscarried sister and a great grandfather who died 30 years before he was born,
and shared details about both that cannot be denied, but communication between
the living and the dead are not uncommon.
In the physical reality system (Earth), it is common for
people who have relinquished their physical body to transition to another
dimensional in-between reality system.
THEY DO NOT DIE in the usual sense of the word. They still exist intact in a
viable body (without mass or bulk), but quite real nevertheless (dreamlike),
with all memories intact, and they do attempt to make contact with those left
behind, mainly to reassure them that life continues after death.
Many of these attempts succeed and many fail, depending on
the circumstances and spiritual development of the concerned parties. These kinds
of communications are most likely to occur when one or both of the psychic
travelers are "disassociated" from physical focus.
In this respect, formal religious indoctrination is an impediment
since in psychic and psychological evolution of consciousness; you must believe something is possible in
order to experience it. You will never experience anything that you do not
believe and formal religious beliefs can stifle true spiritual growth.
In this case it is very likely that a child will find his
fathers religious training and occupation quite convincing to reinforce his own
newly developing belief system and surely an excursion to heaven would please
daddy to no end, a mutual reinforcement of flawed beliefs.
Another thing that is not well understood is that in the
physical system, time is a real necessity and cannot be ignored. In after death reality time does not exist
as you experience it now. While the transitioned personality resides in the after
death reality, he may experience hundreds of your years or only weeks, but contact
is possible.
Those who on the Earth scale of time had transitioned many
years ago sometime attempt to make contact, and this is most easily accomplished
during sleep or in times of trauma when consciousness as such is under the
influence of sedatives.
Your long since passed relatives, friends and acquaintances
then could remain in the between lives reality for some time, although to them it
may seem like only days when actually Many
Earth years had passed. So, what this
means is that it is common for personalities like good old Colton to meet long
dead relatives, not only from this current life, but also from previous lives
lived thousands of years ago.
You may find that you have better friends from the
Renaissance Period than from your current life experience.
Colton also related how he saw God and how God was really
big and of course a really big God needs a really big chair, which he also saw.
Colton also describes the horse that only Jesus can ride and how the Holy
Spirit shoots down power from heaven to help people.
This is almost so ludicrous that it defies even the most
gullible imagination, but it deserves to be put in proper perspective. Now, let
me see, I wonder why a young boy who just went to heaven and returned, would
describe seeing a really BIG god. Did you expect Him to be little? I'll bet
Colton's God looked suspiciously like Charlton Heston, a really big Charlton
Heston. You think?
I'll also bet God's really big chair looked like a golden
throne with 12 angels kneeling and chanting adorations for eternity.
Finally, in real life, as you are doing now, you create your
reality based on your beliefs, thoughts, desires, suggestion and expectation.
You do the same when you dream or when you enter a new dimension upon physical
death. It works the same in a body or not it a body. When you die, if
you believe in Moses, Moses will be there to welcome you to heaven.
For a limited time after death, you will see and experience
exactly what you believe you will see, at least until you are shown the error
in your ways.
Many lifelong held beliefs have been changed in the blink of
an eye after death. People who are the most fanatical in their beliefs in
earthly life are the hardest to convince that everything they believed and
sometimes taught for their whole lives is totally wrong, therefore those most
steeped in religious dogma are in for the greatest shock.
So, here's the bottom line on Colton's heaven. It is real,
but it's only real from Colton's personal perspective. It's his own personally
hallucinated heaven and to him, it is certainly real. To every other person on
the face of the earth, it simply doesn't exist as conceived by Colton. When you
die, you will create your own heaven, and it too will be your own personally
conceived versions of heaven. There is no other person on the planet that could
perceive your version of heaven.
Everyone creates his own version of heaven, unperceived by
any other person, so in that respect, Colton's heaven is real, but real only to
Colton. Likewise for everyone else. Whatever you believe heaven is, will be the
heaven you will experience upon death, at least until you are convinced by
others that your beliefs are skewed and are actually creative illusion.
I know what you really want to know, so here is the truth; there is no real objective heaven functionally speaking, which exists independently of
you. As long as you continue to believe in the conventional version of God, you will be forced to perpetuate the stereotyped version of heaven.
Unfortunately, you cannot believe in one without the other and that can make it
almost impossible for you to dislodge a belief in one without dislodging the
other, but it would be beneficial if you could.
