Hi I wish this world was the way God wanted it to be,but it will never ever be. I know that its said there is no hell ,but there is ,we are already living in hell. Iwas looking at this beautiful tree today ,with all its lovely white blossom and i thought if only things in this world were as beautiful as this tree. I wish this world had more love in it,but it does not ,nor will it ever have.

It will never be the way i desire it or what anyone truly desires either,the only good thing is that some day ,we all go to the realm of souls were there is much love and all pain goes away never to return, life is a pathway ,that is so hard to tread,but we just have to keep walking that path until we are to tired to do it anymore.And then we lay down and fall asleep and wake up in that beautiful garden we call heaven.

Life is good ,life is bad ,sometimes happy ,sometimes sad,but thats the way life is..Just my inner thoughts of life.God bless you all juditha

Hi Juditha-
Bless you for your beautiful thoughts. But I wonder - - - if this world were perfect, with evreryone happy, no sadness, no pain, no walls to limit us, full access to all the sources of thrills and joys etc, what reason would you have for doing anything? It might be fun to sit around in Eden praising God, but it leads nowhere. Nobody would have any reason to study geometry, artists would have no reason to paint,  great chefs would have no reason to create crepes suzettes or even French fries. When the world is perfect, anything else sort of becomes an imperfection, uless it's just more of the same. It's like a lazy summer day when we lie around in the pool with a flotation collar on our iced tea and soak up rays.

The world we actually have is not a "bad" place, in the sense of being intentionally painful. In fact, it's made so that whatever we do, it must be logical, must follow the rules of the physical universe, and in which we get back precisely what we put forth. In emergencies, people have learned to pray, and very often the more worthy are rewarded by getting what they need. In our world, it is possible to be greedy and sinful, and the greedy and sinful receive the fruits of their labors in many ways.  Those who tossed their children into the flaming bowels of Moloch in past millennia have the chance to be tossed themselves into the same fires, and then they even get the opportunity to watch their own children's immolation.

So, in between visions of strawberry fields forever, ask yourself how you would have made it. If you were to invent a training school for your very own children, a place in which they might discover, grow, learn and progress, how would you have made it?


In this world, we have the ability to stop meddling with things that have no importance, so that we can learn meditation and go back to that Source. This occurs in several relatively distinct steps, often called focus, concentration, meditation and contemplation. First, we learn to observe. Second, we learn to manipulate our observations in a clear and logical manner so that we can build. Then we learn to choose to do only those activities that lead to a better way of life. We learn that the dynamic aspects of life are perfected by dedication of our efforts to whatever we view as the "Highest Good", so that we act joyfully, simply because what we do is valuable in and of itself. We learn to examine how the world of relationships, measures, space and time can be evaluated through clear minded awareness, and we guide our mind into understanding that eventually carries us beyond the everyday world. We also learn to fit in, to be in accord with the physical world and the logical structures, geometries, and physical phenomena that define it. This allows us to sense oneness with everyone and everything, and to learn how love holds it all together, from the primordial instant of creation through the final resolution in which we all return to our Source. These advances in our nature allow us to meditate deeply, and to focus our meditation on the nature of the universe, which eventually leads to an experience in which we participate in the nature of the world as a closed system of interlocking definitions centered around its Source. And finally, we gain participation in the creative act by merger back into the nature of the Uncaused Cause from which it all emerged in the past.  We thus have the ability to become, as Edgar Cayce called it, "co-creators with God".

There is no pressure, although it can get rather dismal if we just sit, because everyone else progresses and we get left out.  But we are free to grow at our own rate, in our own ways, and in our own self-created version of the world.

Aside from the fact that I am confident that God has a sense of humor and laughs when we screw up, this seems to me to be a most excellent training ground. As for God laughing at me, maybe I should expand my own sense of humor so that I too could see the joke, eh? It's the old message, "Don't sweat the small stuff. And remember, it's all small stuff."

Perhaps Paradise is in the eyes of the beholder.
