Heaven

1. What is Heaven?
I'll answer that question simply from what heaven is to me. Certainly we see in Scripture Christ speak of the kingdom in glowing terms, and the prophets speaking of their coming before the presence of God and the assembly. And books are written about the out of body experiences of people. I'll simply add what I believe and feel very much at peace with.
Heaven is the place or experience in which everything that God enjoys is available for my eternal fulfillment as God's child. I don't have to go any further. I trust what God has created for me as the completion of, the totality of my life as God's child.

2. Where does it reside?
Christ says the kingdom is inside us. The "Footladder of Notes Divine" speaks of angels singing. God mentions we end up in angel choirs in verse #2 of "The Footladder of Notes Divine." Another way to think about it is that it resides in the essence of God.

3. Is it like the earth in that it has homes, schools, jobs or is it different?
This is not part of my experience. I think that for each person it will be what free will produces, if that is part of God's totality of love. If not, it would be a fantasy that doesn't match God's giftedness and thus is temporary, awaiting God's child's new choice for cosmic completion and joy.

4. Why aren't we there now with our Father?
My out of body experiences show that we are there with God at all times, but that awareness is hidden from us because of the machinations of the human mind hiding that reality from us.

5. If it is home... why don't we recall memories?
Again, our creation of a human mind as our effort to become a creator apart from God opposes any awareness of God, including memories.

6. Is that where we will all be together some day? Will others be left out or sent to Hell or a Purgatory?
Yes, heaven is our eternal home, even when we're not thinking of it. That's how God created us to live in full completion, and God does not withdraw it from us. It's our choice on where we want to focus. The loving God that I know would never exclude any beloved children from their joy and His joy in sharing it with them. Hell is the human belief in a God that punishes. Purgatory is the attempt by the human mind to come up with a concept of final salvation when the person does not seem to have completed the awakening in the human lifetime. I simply believe that the Holy Spirit knows how to purge us of our own twisted beliefs that contradict the awakening, and until that time, we have been given the free will to cook up any kind of creations that we want to play with, until we hand the return to heaven to the Spirit.

7. If there is a Heaven, does that mean there is a Hell?
If God is a troubled punitive being, there could be a hell. I never met that God, never felt that God within me, and is certainly not the God of "The Footladder of Notes Divine" dictations.

8. How can I get to Heaven?
If you're thinking about it you've already begun the trip because the only way you'd sense a heavenly place that seems desirable, is delivered to you by the work of the Holy Spirit. It sure doesn't come from the human mind.

9. Why does God live apart from us?
God doesn't ever live apart from us. God is inside us and we are inside God. John 14 is helpful, where Jesus lays this out. We are the ones who are thinking apart from God in the human state.

10. What does it look like?
I don't know what it looks like. I do know what it feels like to be in the presence of God- absolute peace and belongingness. I'll settle for that. The rest is icing of the cake, and I'll let God Choose both the cake and the icing for me.

11. Once there, are you confined to Heaven for eternity or can you wander the universe?
Heaven is the ultimate place where God's children reside. We always reside there because God made us for the enjoyment of our supreme good and joy. But He doesn't stop our mind from wandering away, because we have free will to think up anything we want, and to act upon it. But the fantasy that we cook up does not detach our umbilical connection to heaven which always remains in place waiting the time when we choose it again.

12. Do other species such as angels live there as well?
According to Scripture and "The Footladder of Notes Divine" there is mention of heavenly beings.

13. Will any of us be left behind?
Never. God just waits for us and our call for help to return. The Holy Spirit then lays out the sure path that accomplishes it.

14. The Bible states that Satan, who once was the Archangel Lucifer, would at some point be thrown into the Abyss (Hell). If the Bible is correct, this demonstrates God not showing forgiveness. If He has that capability, why would He ever forgive me over an Archangel? Isn't God "all" forgiving, exhibiting the purest of unconditional love? And, if He is truly all forgiving, why is this stated in the Bible?
Some people look upon their troubled lives, their fears and destructive elements stemming form fears as externally caused, and imposed on them. They would believe in a Satan who deserves to be punished after causing them such aggravation. Others, like me, see my continuum choice of being human as a lostness derived from my wanting to be an original creator myself. Satan believers, desiring a healing might pray, "Let me see and react to Satan as you would." People who believe that satanic behavior comes from the lostness and fears of the human mind might pray "Let me see myself as You would and accordingly act as You would." If there is such a thing as a fallen Archangel, the God that I know wouldn't throw him away nor punish him. The healing process is the same for the archangel as it is for the rest of us. You see, I only know an understanding and therefore forgiving God. If there is another part of God that is unforgiving, He has hidden it from me quite well.
