Heaven is for real

if life is a lucid dream
a matrix in which we’re caged
in destiny as it flows
perhaps everything is staged

concepts of heaven and hell
seem tools designed to control
to bring semblance of order
among us here on parole

it is naive to assume
fairy tales we heard as true
so let’s negate all knowing
that light of truth may accrue

contemplating thus we pause
looking at the world afresh
noticing vast empty space 
as the field that does enmesh

withdrawing senses and mind
as awareness self-aware
transcending both space and time
we lay our consciousness bare

poised in peace in the bardo
we see we are living light
self-existent and complete
drenched in mists of bliss delight

in this ethereal realm
our Father reveals His face
golden globe oozing with love
holding us in close embrace 

such is the truth we affirm
God dwells within our heart’s core
He is who we’re searching for
walk in right now through love’s door

yes, heaven exists right here
but it is not what we think
first recognise who we are
betwixt heartbeats when we blink

Lovely poem and my views are no different! Heaven and hell are concepts created to control like the dog in Pavlov’s experiment! High time we shredded a whole lot of nonsense that is indoctrinated into our heads from a young age! Well done on your placement.

Thank you, Darlene. Very few people are willing to let go of conditioned beliefs and make a direct inquiry, in silence.
