I'd stake my life that Stephen Hawking is wrong about heaven

There is nothing so blinding as self image or concept.

This 'self' uses the body as its temporary 'home' and yet kills it over time - because the self is the idea of separating off from Life.

It usurps and distorts all that is eternally Alive in asserting its own 'kingdom'; its own judgement - and its own imaginative wishful thinking.

And yet it only works on a local copy.

That which is eternal is and always Is

What we choose to give our attention to is up to us.

But to let our mind rest of its attempt to 'understand' and thereby control all things to its own presumed perspective, is to allow the Universal Field of Being to align all things truly.

Because religion has been used as a tool of manipulation, its terms are degraded for those who refuse the carrot and the stick, but it remains true that if you cease to invest in your own definitions of life and others and the world, then you can experience the infilling Meaning that redeems and restores your awareness to its true roots - in a Non Local Field - even amidst all appearances of self and world and circumstance.

You are the scientist and you are the experiment in which you abandon the fearful, deceptive, mean spirited, self concerned mentality that is not worthy of the truth of You.

To those who still choose conflict as the lifeblood of their identity, hell is heaven and heaven is hell.

A modern fairytale is extinction - like a tv turned off. As if responsibility could EVER be truly evaded! Rude awakenings may nonetheless turn out to be helpful when help is accepted.

For by what we think and believe in our heart, we will experience.
If there is a desire to protect the thinking from the presence and relational current of feeling, then the dimension of Soul will be put aside, discarded, rendered invisible, unwanted - amidst a perpetual distraction that validates and enables thinking some more.

The god that we make is a symbolic representation that reflects something of the nature of our self. It can grow out from magical and fearful beginnings and become an opening way to a real relational receptivity.

God Presencing all things right where you are is all there is of you - not just in the locally defined sense of personhood and its experience - but as all in all.

Because such awareness or communioned being is prior to all thought processes, it is invisible and unthinkable and therefore non existent to a thinking based sense of self. Yet a thought cannot be observed but that Awareness is present.

We may define all things in our own image and live as if it were true - but we do not make awareness Be. Rest in the intimacy of your own being and don't get pulled into the crab-barrel of opinions. If you do not find rest, become a scientist. Watch the mind, the emotions, the body. See the nature of consciousness and see through your own deceptions. No one else can take this journey for you. You are free to take it when you are willing. Heaven is not what you think - but in letting your thought be guided in a truly listening heart, Love's Meaning will register with you.

God did not create Stephen Hawking's Universe

The proof is in the pudding. There is no place for God in Stephen Hawking's universe. This is a place for hostile aliens.
Now to be fair to Stephen, the god to which he refers is a believed or conjectured power, intelligence or Mind that acts upon the universe from outside it. This is the projection of our own wish to be a power in and of ourself - and act upon life to suit our own private goals and meanings.
A science based on science is a justification of the mind of control in which certain presumptions and associated definitions are taken as apriori facts. The most fundamental of which is the presumption of separation from the Direct Awareness that Life Is - in order to experience and act out a separate identity. In religious terms, such a separation is the Refusal or denial of God - not as a belief denied - but as Life Itself denied.

In the symbol of the Garden of Eden - which represents pre-separation Innocence or Sanctity of Life, there is the role of tempter and the claiming of the power of judgement of good and evil as a desire to make our judgement real and create as God. Such a practice of intent and attention IS the desire to step outside of Life's Meaning - and experience All That Is - through one's own thought.

A private thought based reality is a derivative structure based ultimately on nothing - for never has a mind seperated from the Mind in which it's thought arises - and nor have thoughts ever left the mind that thinks them. It is fantasy.

It is true that the Isness or Mind - (that I may point to with the term "God" - is It-self a process of Awareness and the objects of awareness - but not as a duality - for all that God Is Is in All that God Extends or "Creates" as Living Thought.

Wholeness is forgotten in the embrace of partiality - and the experience that arises from the division and exclusion that judgement always enacts - is one of being excluded, abandoned, limited, and rendered identityless.

The attempt to surmout or compensate for such experience compounds it and makes it 'real'. The exploration and description and manipulation of such a 'reality' is merely the recycling of the mind that made it. A mentality that enacts a loveless attempt to 'understand' and therefore control Life.

In simplest terms, the mind has left the heart and has no direction - and so it seeks and makes for itself a sense of meaning within the terms that it dictates. Such is the blindness that filters out God from our current experience.

To listen to the heart - still the mind. You have not left the Mind of God - nor the Garden of sanctity. But you have introduced a way of using thought that is running counter to your true appreciation of Everything as It Is - and are experiencing as your thinking would have it be.

When science proves that love does not exist it denies and overlooks the Eternal Fact.
To discover the Living Universe - seek not outside yourself or you will become defined by your own definitions.

Love defines you as Its own - and not in terms that support or validate your fantasy of yourself. To rest the mind that thinks it thinks alone - is to discern the Living Oneness of which our words cannot speak - but it is of your truth and not of your making.

All abilities can be brought into alignment with awakened purpose - with serving the restoration to our awareness of the Love, Light and Truth that is its Inherent Nature. But to allow this shift - we have to release our command and control mind - and embody the faith and trust that only the awakened heart can shine.

All of us together create Stephen Hawkin's universe. But it is not a Living universe - but is Adam's sleep. A covering over of the Immediate Fact with fluctuating oppositional densities of apparent dualities. To take the bait is to become entranced and lost to a fascination with one's self-thinking.

At some point the structural integrity of the attempt to live out self-will as real - falls apart. Not from any act within the illusion but from the recognition of meaninglessness or illegitimacy of our own self-thought.

Conflicts of belief are played out - and experiences change according to what one believes. Yet truth is utterly beyond belief. It simply Is - as It Is - and is unedited and unchanged by any belief or experience arising from our belief.

Experience itself is not the proof of truth - unless it is the indivisible and undivided Wholeness of which nothing is added to - nothing taken away - and nothing interposed between.

In Peace
