My Own Heavenly Thoughts of Heaven

One criteria for heaven: Unconditional love for everyone Not for only people who look like you Or think like you Not that there are any others. Your religion, neighbors and family cannot help you now. Guarantees you will get there: A loving heart Joy in other’s accomplishments, integrity, standing up for others, Following the golden rule always, not just when it is convenient. No judging; which is why spirituality trumps religion. Initial body death is a dream-state. You get whopped out of your body sometimes before the flesh dies. Especially if your body is about to be raped or murdered. Your heavenly committee sees to it that you do not suffer more than you should. You are alone in your heaven path, even if your entire family gets killed together. You are met by your committee of carefully selected guides and Archangels. Jesus or Buddha? Possibly if you hold on tight to earthly beliefs. Some of you might be greeted by Hitler. If this happens, you may not be in heaven. Just kidding! Your committee is selected by you, and tweaked by you, in between incarnations. You might be met by your French poodle Ralphie, who was killed when you were eight. Whatever you expect is what you get in heaven. If you expect dead is dead, you might get to sleep for a bit. If you expect your relatives will all be there, they will be. I expect to see flowers, trees, and colors we cannot see with earth eyes. I expect to smell lemons, and Vicks, for those are my two favorite smells.
