A SPIRITUAL PATH TO HEAVEN

                        If you are on a path of spiritual awakening, you realize heaven is not a place but a state of consciousness. It can only be entered through a clear perception of God affecting you personally. It is a state which makes God real and begins to change your awareness of who God is, and where God abides.

                        Heaven becomes your source and not your destination. To enter heaven means everything in the outer world can now be viewed through a higher dimensional consciousness of spirit. You are able to see buried under the surface of every person, object, and event a primordial spark of light. You become aware the source of all of these manifestation originated from the realm of spirit.

                        Light, originating from energy, is the stuff of transformation. It is from this invisible world of spirit that all physicality comes. Energy cannot be destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. Energy has taken on many forms and shapes in the billions of years the earth has existed. This awareness enables you to see everything in the physical realm is made of pure spirit. This overlap of levels is entering heaven. No longer do you experience merely through the senses, but your awareness has taken on a virtual leap. The invisible levels begin to merge into the visible and all things seemed to be infused with spirit right before your eyes. Trees, flowers, and nature seems to become alive with divine purpose. Everything around you takes on a hue of beauty and bliss. Your mind suddenly begins to see from a realm not of this world.

                        New and exciting feelings arise. They may be described as an awakening, a pure awareness, or being alive without the feelings of limitations and boundaries of the body. It is in this state you become aware that your divine, infinite, and eternal source lives within you.

                        In most religious teachings, heaven has been described as place where you become free from the limits of an earthly life and enter into eternal joy and peace. It seems to be a place where the physical laws like gravity, time, and matter no longer exist.

                        Clearly the Bible reveals this place is within us and is assessable right here and now! Paul's experience as his consciousness had a sudden rush of light, bringing about a great awakening and spiritual understanding, is one beautiful example. Another, is when he entered the third heaven and heard things in his spirit which could not be expressed with physical words. Jesus Christ as He walked over the experience of death and then lifted himself up above the earth into the clouds gives us another clear picture of the consciousness of heaven. The boundaries of this world had lost dominion in each of these experiences. They were able to loosen the bonds of the physical realm enough that pure awareness, and full awakening became their reality.

                        Many today are looking forward to achieving heaven and all the rewards they think await them in this place. Hopefully, many more in this great corporate awakening of the Christ consciousness, are aligning with pure spirit. They are becoming aware of the virtual reality they can enter into the state we call heaven here and now. This awareness is destined to bring a tipping point in the consciousness of all humanity and allow mankind to take a quantum leap into the realm of his infinite potential.......The Reality of Heaven in Earth!
