Day 107 – The 11 Keys to Heaven


Keys

Jesus said… ‘The kingdom of Heaven is within you.’ 

If this is so, then Heaven is not ‘somewhere out there’.  I am here, therefore Heaven must be here as me.  Then why is it that we do not experience this ‘Heaven’ all the time?  More precisely, what is preventing Heaven from being experienced and expressed by us? 

We can examine this a little further by asking ourselves... What do we know about Heaven? We know a few things for certain if we apply common sense…

1.  There can be no Conflict in Heaven, because conflict is war, and war is suffering, so obviously war would not exist in Heaven.

2.  There can be no Greed in Heaven, because that would imply Heaven is limited and/or lacking, and greed would result in conflict, jealousy, and war.

3.  There can be no Deception or Confusion in Heaven, because well if that were the case, then Heaven itself would be a lie.

4.  There can be no Secrets in Heaven, because secrets are another form of deception.

5.  There can be no Judgement in Heaven, because judgement would imply condemnation, punishment, harm, and suffering.

6.  There can be no Slavery in Heaven, because that would make Heaven a prison.

7.  There can be no Fear in Heaven, because that would make Heaven a horrible and terrifying experience.

8.  There can be no Selfishness in Heaven, because that would imply fear.

9.  There can be no Death in Heaven, because that would mean that Heaven is temporary, corruptible and subject to non-existence.

10.  There can Distrust in Heaven, because Distrust would indicate that Heaven is untrustworthy.

11. There can be no God in Heaven, – as defined as a superior being - as that would imply hierarchy, control and enslavement.



Now that we have clarified what is not in Heaven, lets examine the opposite to see what Heaven consists of.  In essence, what are the keys to Heaven?

1.  Peace – Absolute Peace, as the total end and cessation of all conflict (as polarities of good/bad, right/wrong etc.) within self

2.  Giving – Absolute Giving, where all gives all to all without fear of loss

3.  Honesty – Absolute Honesty, where no deception is possible or desired

4.  Communication – Absolute Unconditional Expression of Self, within the realization that secrets are unnecessary

5.  Forgiveness – Absolute Forgiveness, as the end of all judgements

6.  Freedom – Absolute Freedom, with no possibility of ever becoming enslaved again

7.  Fearlessness – Absolute Fearlessness, as there is no reason to fear and nothing to fear

8.  Sharing – Absolute Sharing, where everything is shared Equally

9.  Life – Absolute Life, where all is considered Equally into eternity

10.  Trust – Absolute Trust, where no possibility of distrust can exist

11. Equality - Absolute Equality, where nothing is excluded or left out.

Heaven can be summed up in one word - Equality.  So if Equality is Heaven, then why do we accept and allow inequality in our world?  Why do we not take responsibility to take a stand against oppression?  Why do we cower and submit to enslavement and cruelty of the world system? 

There are a number of answers to this.  Primarily lack of understanding, yet fear of self, and the selfish desire for the experience of love in separation, are also prime factors.  Love as what most have defined it as - within separation - is not real, it is spitefulness, as the selfish desire for comfort and happiness to the exclusion of the rest of existence as ourselves.

If the Kingdom of Heaven is within you, then you and I are responsible to create and express Heaven here in this physical reality.  This can only be done through self forgiveness, self-realization, self-correction, and supporting the group that supports what is best for all.  Because, whether you are aware or not, this world is a living hell, as the consequences of what we have allowed are undeniable.  Having only hindsight is of no use whatsoever… it is foolishness, and it is too late.

I am the key to you, as you are the key to me, and together we are the keys to Heaven, as Equality, as what is best for all Life.

There is one more key I did not mention, that I will leave up to you to find for yourself…

7yr Journey to Life - Day 39 - Savior Syndrome



I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to play the Savior in my life where I have attempted to save people, plants, animals and physical objects from the starting point of trying to be a good person.  I realize that this is not being honest with myself because I am attempting to play a hero in my mind when the real issue of what is necessary to be done is neglected, rendering me in-effective in the grand scale.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to try and save things in my life from the starting point of 'fear of death/fear of loss.  I realize that in this I am attempting to escape the consequences I have created for myself by playing the 'good person' role, in the hopes that someone will notice and promote me to a position of power.  I realize this is self-sabotage and irresponsibility to myself because I am not directing myself in the best and most effective way that I am able, and so I end up placing my trust outside of myself which is self-deception.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to try and save myself through saving up money as my savings account.  I realize what I am doing is hoarding and robbing myself in fear of the inevitability of facing the consequences of what I have accepted and allowed to exist within and as my world and reality.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to save myself from facing conflict within my world and reality, attempting to avoid responsibility in fear of creating negative consequences for myself.  .  In this I realize that I am creating further consequence through allowing myself to be directed and controlled by fear instead of me directing myself here in what is necessary to be done from the starting point of what is best for all.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to think that I am doing good by giving to charities and organizations that promote good, when in fact those organizations only perpetuate and  prolong cycles of enslavement through the polarizing of good and bad people, ideas and beliefs which do not serve life.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to drive myself to the brink of annihilation through trying to save myself through deliberate self-deception of what I was doing all along - as promoting my own good feelings and self-interest above what is best for all.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to take advantage of myself - thereby sabotaging myself - through doing good deeds from the starting point of leveraging my reputation for fame, personal glorification and monetary rewards.

I commit myself to expose all Savior syndrome constructs within myself and others so that all may be aligned in the best interest of all and not individuals.

I commit myself to change myself to be the directive principle of my life as opposed to allowing myself to be directed and controlled by fears

I commit myself to use myself and what is here in the best and most effective way possible that would serve the interest of stopping abuse in my world and so change my world to align with the principle of that which is best for all.

I commit myself to expose all 'good deeds' such as charitable organizations for what they really are - as irresponsible and greed driven in that they only perpetuate abuse through dishonest practices and derailing self-responsibility and self-accountability.

Day 18 - Understanding Equality for Christians




Being a former 'born again' Christian of 15 years myself, I would like to take this opportunity to relate some of the points as to how a 'Christian' can understand Equality and what questions to ask oneself to realize the nature of ones belief system.  Firstly, I would like to make a point of saying that I have no pity for those who do not have the courage to question their god and their belief system.  After all, it is your own belief that says hell is for the fearful.


Question #1 - Regarding the Foundational Belief in Hell.

Ask yourself, do I really want some people to go to hell and suffer for eternity?  Because by accepting that belief as 'gods law' you are accepting it yourself as a just punishment for non-believers.  Add to the fact that you don't really know who will go to 'hell', it could be your closest loved one for all you know.  Is this world not already a living hell for many that come into this world just to starve to death or suffer continual abuse?  If God really did love humans, why would he require the fear of hell to persuade people to love him back?


Question #2 - Regarding Knowing God or Jesus

Many Christians will claim they 'know' God or Jesus as a self-confirmation that they are different from 'religious' people who claim to be Christians but do not follow the lifestyle of being a strong believer.  There are 2 definitions of the word 'know' in the bible. One is to have acquaintance as a friend, and the other is to have an intimate sexual relationship.  Many Christians will claim they have an intimate relationship through the 'holy spirit'.  From my observations in the church, I could see many who were having strong 'energetic' experiences claiming it was the spirit of God.  So is God then energy? The word 'know' actually represents knowledge - as in the tree of knowledge as opposed to the tree of Life. So Christians with knowledge of God are merely projecting an image of how they would imagine God to be based on their preprogrammed knowledge.


Question #3 - Regarding Predestination

It is mentioned twice in the new testament that we are in fact predestined.  So what is predestination?  Is it not simply a program?  So therefore you are in fact a living program locked into a future that you cannot change.  What would be the purpose of faith then if it is already predestined?  Most would say it is to learn about God, however, this would be nonsense because you only experience God as energy as the holy spirit.  So are you not in fact a slave to God's destiny as the energy based program?  How do you know God will not run another program for you when you die and go to 'heaven'?

Question #4 - Regarding Heaven

There is very little written in the bible about heaven.  It says that the streets are paved with gold.  Personally, I always thought that was ridiculous and I wouldn't even have an interest in going to a place like that.  I would much rather have rocks and trees and rivers and oceans and mountains... like here on earth in the physical.  What are you going to do in heaven?  Bowing and Singing praise to God all the time?  Would that not get boring after a while?  Why can we not agree to create heaven on earth through living the principle of what is best for all?  Would a real God not want what is best for all as living as Equals instead of a master/slave relationship?  After all, was it not God who confused our languages when building the tower of babel because he said 'nothing would be impossible to them'?  Is that not biblical proof that we could create heaven on earth?

Question #5 - Regarding Gods Forgiveness of Sin

You realize that you are sinning all the time either openly or in your secret mind.  That being the case, being a Christian, you are subject to the 'mercy' of God all the time, and you cannot change yourself because you are predestined and he has to forgive you - you cannot forgive yourself.  You are thus his complete slave and he your master.  Was it not God who hardened the heart of Pharaoh to cause him to sin against God?  Why do you believe he will not do the same to you?  Why do you give your trust and life to a God that you don't actually know as a physical being?



Equality is the ultimate self-realization where we do not have to fear hell or believe in a god or heaven as separate from ourselves, but we realize that we are co-creators in this world and as such, we must stand to take responsibility for what we have accepted and allowed to exist as us here.  It is easy to just give up on yourself and place your trust and life in god, but to trust yourself and to stand for life, that is a real challenge to yourself that has an actual, physical outcome that can be measured by our very breath.  Instead of repeating phrases from a 2000 yr old book, I speak words as me here in self-honesty in standing - not in self interest - but for that which is best for All.

Ask yourself these questions and feel free to respond if you have further questions or comments.
