Could heaven and hell be right here where we are? As the old axiom says, "As above so below."

On earth it as been contrived that man must suffer. It was right for its time and now the time is over. We as humanity are stepping up in evolution. We are becoming closer to the angels, closer to the other world of Heaven.

There is a dream and that is of peace on earth. That dream can become reality. That dream can put all nightmares to rest.

There is a great secret about to unfold. It will be revealed to those who are open to it. It is to be their destiny to witness God’s peace and perfect plan coming to fruition. It is to see the light of day and the dark of night in God’s glory. We have been chosen to experience this time of joy and development to carry out the divine plan on earth. It will be our destiny and birthright to know divinity right where we are.

What is it all about? What lies invisibly, resting upon each shoulder? How does it all work out? How do five billion, trillion, experiences come to make up each one of our lives?

We are here to learn the Creator’s will. We are here to learn. As we choose hate it reflects in our lives. As we choose love we receive love. There are many lessons in love. Every event is really a lesson in love. Do we choose it, or do we choose to damn it?

All this is really our free will. The opportunity to react to what’s happening the way we want to. Somehow, as we react to it, it is all the way it is supposed to be. There is never a careless thought or moment. Everything is in divine order.

All of our choices are for our highest learning. All that comes to us is from the Source. It may come in the form of a fire-breathing dragon, but it is sent to teach us our many lessons in love.

Do we make our life a hell by those scary things that happen? Or do we accept them, learn from them, rejoice in them as vehicles to teach us what we need to know?

God’s love never faileth. His love has no boundaries. S/He loves, only loves. His peace can be ours, as we desire to love instead of hate…as we react with kindness,gentleness, joy and fun…as we see every soul as part of our soul - a brother, a sister, a friend. All of us are in the same predicament. All have love, joy, fear, anger, hate and peace.

When we cultivate joy in our lives and find a reason to be thankful every day, peace comes into our life and we are able to share it with others.

There is another world right in our midst. Heaven in its infinity is invisible right where we are. Heaven and the angels are right next to us, all around us. All we have to do is ask them for their help. The glorious angels are very present to stand with the temple of the Most High. God’s living temple is our very own body. The Great Spirit created us and never left us. That sacred power abides within us.

The seed of the perfect child of God has been planted in our hearts. The soil that makes it grow are the divine attributes that we choose to emulate.

How do we react with our fellow men and women? Do we decide to act with love, grace, and kindness, or do we deceive with hurtful, angry ways? Our choices come every day. They come to us in the form of an answer to a question. Is it with love or short tempered? Is some ones hurt sluffed off as we are impatient? Is some ones need cast off like a boat without an anchor?

The seed of the Christ anchors itself in us. It is the core of our being. With right action, prayer, helpfulness, sometimes just one hopeful word or smile can nurture that seed to grow.

The seed grows so big that the little me, the ego, the vehicle of soul on earth, gets so small that our true identity comes through. When God works through us, we become One.

Humanity is growing closer to Heaven
