What is Heaven?

Heaven is in no sense of the word a living person. It is not a biological entity, but still it is subject to a certain kind of chemisty. The expanse of Heaven as we do observe it today has become divided into Stars and Planets, and these stars and planets are formed into Galaxies and Solar Systems. And despite the individuation of all things, there is still an underlying unity, there is a single source for all of this stuff!

The stars are considerably massive objects, and wherever matter does accumulate into a single body there also consciousness accumulates. Every star posesses a unique and individual personality, with a mind and awareness. The labor that the stars do perform, create all the heavier elements that we find in the world today. And some of the substance of the Universe is constantly being annihilated and converted into visible light with this process. If we are willing to imagine light as a massless particle moving at very high speeds, we think of the photon. And the vast emptyness of space is absolutely full of these photons moving in currents in every possible direction. And there are numerous other kinds of particles moving though space constantly as well, so that it can in no way be said to be empty. The pressure of light may even produce a force upon the fabric of the vacume. The vacume may be flat or curved in some places, and our currents of light may follow that curvature.

How is it possible that entirely nothing at all may have any properties at all, such as curvature or temperature? It seems to me that the vacume is something. But whatever it is it definately reaches to here! The atoms in our bodies have much space in between them, even if we imagine particles of protons and neutron and electrons. The forces that one atom exerts on another may give a substance of atoms some rigidity and resistance to seperation. But the vacume still exists inbetween all these particles, it even reaches to the Earth's core.

And so I say that a star is a kind of person with a unique personality, and therefore Heaven is populated with many persons. We do not need to look to the stars to see that Heaven is populated by many persons, we can look at one another and see that this is true. So Heaven is not just an individual person but also a community of people. There are many different kinds of stars in Heaven and the thing which distinguishes them the most from one another is the amount of Mass. But also the elements present in the body of the star affect it's chemistry. We understand the lives of stars very well, we can predict their life cycles. And even though it is true that a star may eventually cease to shine with visible light, there will generally always be something left over. So that once a star has manifested as an individual it may never entirely pass away from manisfestation. The stars have a truely immense lifespan compared to a single human lifespan, even when compared to the lifespan of the human species as a whole.

If natural events are allowed to follow thier course, then it is neccessary that our Earth will one day become a barren world. It will no longer support life as we recognize it. Even so it might be possible that the human species can outlive the viability of planet Earth, but it looks very unlikely. But if Heaven has a muscle, and the volition to move that muscle then the lifetime of our star Sol may be extended indefinately. And the viability of the Earth may also be sustained indefinately, allowing the Human species to survive here forever.

But this is the main reason that we do not recognize Heaven as a person, we see little to no evidence for volition of any kind. In addition to this, there is no recognizable form of communication between ourselves and this person. The ability to communicate with us is the main ingredient for personhood in the world. But should our sun for example even have a desire to communicate with us? We certainly do not observe the sun doing anything that it should not naturally be doing. How can we ever know for certain that there is a personality associated with our sun or with our planet Earth for that matter? How can we ever know that there is a personality associated with the Universe at large? You may think that I am just making wild guesses and assumptions here but I do believe that I've seen enough evidence for myself.

If you want to call it the action of divinity or miracles, if we are paying attention there is evidence. So I think that it is true that Heaven is paying attention to us here on Earth, Heaven is aware of us. Perhaps even Heaven is concerned about us here. According to the beliefs of some people, Heaven does honor those people who place a concern for others above a concern for themselves. And as Moses was concerned for the welfare of one nation, I am also concerned for the welfare of all nations. The general populations of the world today are being held in captivity but there is no promised land to deliver them to.

But this is Heaven, right here and right now. If it can be a place at all then it must be this place. If there is an Eternal Kingdom, then it must exist at this moment and it must have always existed, otherwise it could in no way be described as Eternal. And if the Eternal Kingdom does exist, but it does not exist here, then it must in some way be limited. Heaven is not some mystical region seperate from manifestation that spirits depart to after life, it is the place that we come to when we are born here on Earth. Manifestation is everything that matters and there is no existence apart from manifestation.
