"Then those people are right who say that Heaven and Hell are only states of mind?"
"Hush," he said sternly. "Do not blaspheme. Hell is a state of mind — ye never said a truer word. And every state of mind, left to itself, every shutting up of the creature within the dungeon of its own mind — is, in the end, Hell. But Heaven is not a state of mind. Heaven is reality itself. All that is fully real is Heavenly."

When Jesus said, "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you," it was the mind that he was speaking about. The Kingdom of Heaven must begin within a mind which exists for the sake of the whole. Such a mind is so broad that the entire universe can be embraced by it; the whole Kingdom, including all of mankind, can come within that mind. In that case, who should be the center of your mind — the nation, the world, or God? Yes, it should be God. If your mind is embracing everything, that means you are trying to capture or embrace the mind of God.

"Stalin found out about the community and sent his thugs in, just a few days before I got there, to break all of their arms! That was worse than killing them! It was a horrible sight, Oskar: their arms in crude splints, straight in front of them like zombies! They couldn't feed themselves, because they couldn't get their hands to their mouths! So you know what they did!" "They starved?" "They fed each other! That's the difference between heaven and hell! In hell we starve! In heaven we feed each other!" I don't believe in the afterlife." "Neither do I, but I believe in the story."

Our CAPTORS or if you prefer "Masters" Don't want you to think for yourselves, they suggest that those with fancy titles and letters after their names should do it for you. "Go back to sleep..., your experts know best.... Zzzzzzz...." Love is the highest expression of a "Living" organism in the known universe, It is often represented as the "positive aspect of "Yin/Yang", "Human Nature"-Animal Nature?,etc. We should'nt be afraid to express ourselves sincerely,and allow others the freedom of expressing themselves sincerely,without fear of what others will label me as. We start to eliminate those fear patterns that have been promoted as a means of Geo-Political control. It is Love that all organsims,desire-determined by subjective values,respectively.and require-albeit are denied.Responding towards a situation,or person with Love, Acceptance,and Appreciation (opposed to Fear,Guilt, Anger, Frustration.) Assists us in "re-attuning" our state of mind,towards positive states of being, by recognising, thought patterns that "Enforce" the "FEAR Vibration"-The Negative expressions of Conciousness. We take back control over the creation of our individual realities. Which will naturally influence our Collective reality, for better or worse. I "believe" in a Heaven and Hell, On Earth... When we embark on this adverse journey of Self-Discovery. You'll find it much easier to "reside" in the "higher" levels of our BEING. to be more exact, THE SOURCE of ALL- Simply stated LOVE!(also as stated throughout history),which in turn re-connects us to the universal conciousness-Collective Mind- Consensus Reality.-"The Norms".(similar to Jung's theory of the collective unconsciousness) and all the knowledge, wisdom, and intuitive "Ideas" that's possible to access with proper state of being- Relaxed,Mindfulness, etc. opposed to Hastiness, self-pressure, lack of confidence,etc. You could say , that there's a Spectrum of Knowledge that exists as radiostation broadcasts, when we "attune",and "develope" information on the specific wave-length, we are in a sense tuning our "Cognitive Dial" on the respective broadcasting station.in specific states of mind(a mind-set of Fear, opposed to a mind-set of Love-which can be symbolised as extremes of poles or "Polarities" of being "LOVE OR FEAR".which we seek to bring into balance, which allow us to become more receptive of the subtleties of "Reality", and respective circumstances, our state of being is VITAL. We MUST seek BALANCE -Mentally-Emotionally,Physically). It will help you connect vibrationally to the Great Infinity of existence(which's within, not "out there") by tuning you to its wavelength(sample how a state of mind dominated by fear,reacts to circumstances. opposed to a mind-set of Love,Appreciation,Actualising and expressing our highest potential as living enitities.)We are faced with two choices,two respond in Fear, or respond in Love...i've made my choice...the ball is in your court...

"Is he in heaven? Is he in hell?"
"There is no heaven. There is no hell."
"There is no heaven? There is no hell?"
"That's all in your mind."

Mind and its contents are functionally identical: My wife only exists, for me, in my mind. Not being a solipsist, I recognize the converse: I only exist, for her, in her mind. Lest the reader exclaim, like Byron of Wordworth, "I wish he would explain his explanation!", let us try it this way: If I am so fortunate as to be listening to the Hammerklavier sonata, the only correct answer, if you ask me suddenly, "Who are you?" would be to hum the Hammerklavier. For, with music of that quality, one is hypnotized into rapt attention: there is no division between "me" and "my experience".
