' Being Born Again '...
Heaven is the experience when we've passed into our own nothingness. We realize our own pure awakeness and see that what we are is pure spirit with no form.
We recognize that formless spirit is the essence, the animating presence of everything. This is being in heaven because, in each step, spirit and essence are occupying our body. That's the true meaning of being born again.
Being born again is not just a great emotional religious conversion experience. That can be nice, but it's only like changing your clothes. Being born again is actually being born again, not getting a new spiritual garment. More accurately, it is being unborn when we realize that eternal nothingness is actually living this life called "my life."

and why would eternal nothingness want to live or more accurately, be animated energy?
as i have always said.....its the great spirit that is experiencing its own creation....but what could possibly be the motive to want suffering....and joy?
my answer would be...why be an energy source and not explore all its possibilities/facets.
what is the purpose of melding with the source and resting for all eternity in nothingness? a respite maybe,....but not the end all be all.
just my little ol opinion

Why do you sit in a theater for an hour and a half to enter consciousness within a film?..
The End has always been the Beginning..
The Circle has always been within your sight..
The Circle of Confusion is called Incarnation..
You play the various parts of parent and child..
And yet, you still read and think..
The strange Thought of Freedom enters the room..
The ego runs away with fear...
