Is Heaven Hard To Get Into?

Wasting this life is what I am talking about. You do not go to heaven when you die, you return here. To look outside of your self for something that is not there is a waist of time. This is heaven and hell and 8 other worlds all wrapped up in one; 3000 realms in every moment.

... Sorry, I just don't understand what you mean by' '3,000' other realms in every moment. To me, that fails to make sense in any way at all.

Such an invigorating response!

Edit: That's better.

It doesn't make sense because it requires you to step outside of your own system of beliefs.

When you read my post, I bet you felt anger. If you did you went into the world of anger. You might have then felt bad, because you may have entered the world of hell for just a brief time. We live in the ten worlds of witch heaven and hell are just two.

You don't understand it because no one has ever taught it to you.

Erm. Teaching does not imply understanding, or truth.

How do you know that?

You can teach somone all you want. That doesnt mean that, even if they learn what you are teaching, they would be able to use that knowledge in any sort of functional way. it doesnt' mena they understood what you taught, or that what you taught is correct.

In his case it is correct. He has never been taught the theory of 3000 realms in every moment. It is like talking to someone who has never heard of E=MC2, it would make no sense to them.

That makes more sense that would you said at first. (I needed some more in depth explaination). So basically, emotions are different 'worlds'? And, sorry if I got a little angry, this is all new to me. Kind've like a culture shock you know?

Okay well, I still find some doubt in that... because wouldn't the world change around you if you felt those feelings? And when you die, you basically are reborn?

The word does change around you. Have you ever been so angry that you do or say something really stupid? I know I have. At the time, saying something wrong or doing the wrong thing made so much sense, but when I left that world and went into the world of realization, I couldn't believe I was so stupid. When you are in a world, you live by the rules of that world.

Okay, thanks. But, I still highly doubt that you switch into a different "world" everytime you are angry, etc. It makes a little sense, but really, I just don't think it's true. And I'm not just saying that based upon my own religion... I' simply stating it because it does not make sense. But thank you, I will check that link later.

Look at it closely and if you can, please fill free to disprove it for me.

I don't know. It sounds kind've strange if you ask me. Some of it does make sense though, like, in a sense, they do have meaning. But, it just seems a little fishy to me. Like, the possibility of going into a different 'world' with every emotion just doesn't seem correct... I can't explain why, I just don't think it's correct.

You're taking it too literally, I think.

Why would you not take it literally if it was your religion?
