Heaven and Hell


Most people believe that heaven is a destination, a place that you can go to when you're done with your living.
Where you'll be greeted with your loved ones, who also "went" to heaven after they passed away.
With angels singing heavenly songs while strumming their little golden harp, among fluffy clouds or lush Eden garden.

Most people believe that hell is also a destination where you're going to end up in if you are an unbeliever, or if you were doing drugs or cheating on your spouse, getting some serious fun every night clubbing with the night butterflies and making money selling amazing illegal things.
Then, to the four steps of hell you go after death (there's another version with 18 steps, very intriguing).  Where you burn in eternal fire and scream pains and suffering so that you repay whatever things you did when you were alive.

As soon as we were born, we were given different genders, clothed in pink or blue, told we were good or bad that day, that if we've been good, we'd get a reward, and if we've been bad, we'd get detention.

I never buy into that concept, the duality of things, heaven and hell, good and evil,  yin and yang.  Don't get me wrong, I spent a hefty amount of time, money and energy exploring the Chinese Metaphysical world.  It flowed with such ease in this incarnation, that's why I picked this body, this lineage, this place of such unseen oppression.
Win or lose, love or hate, all those contrasts, constantly being fed into our mind.  They're just mere labels, the left brain compartmentalising series of emotions because it doesn't have the capability to process it in any other way.

Do you realise that heaven and hell exist simultaneously inside of every each one of yourself?
There is no destination, because you're already there.
Open your heart and find that you're wherever you needed to be.  Whether it's heaven or hell.  These are just mere labels.

Therefore, when you base your living on LOVE, the energy you have can't be classified as good energy or bad energy, it's just LOVE energy, the one of the source, the infinite and the all knowing.

When Life gives you Lemons


I used to say, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
Now I say, when life gives you lemons, check if you've been planting lemon trees.
See, if you have been sowing lemon seeds, how can your life be full of apples or oranges?
