A journey

There was a woman who won a contest to a an exotic island and she was so excited
as she told all her friends and family and in her excitement she wondered what will
she need to take and what she will have to pack up on her journey.
However, when she learned that some stranger was going to accompany her she felt kind of weird about this whole arrangement

Nevertheless she said to herself a chance of a lifetime to go to place she has never been was so exciting.
Now when she had met up with her partner who was going to accompany her she found he was tall dark and handsome type and seemed to a gentleman of such.

Yet there was something about him that made her feel on edge.
As she greeted him the first thing he said to her was she wont be needing all the crap she packed in her suitcase where she was going.

She kind of seemed perplexed to say what do you mean I have my clothes and things and a couple books and sunscreen and some things of value to me I want to take so what is wrong with that she thought. Well as part of the conditions of the trip she had to select only what she could carry in her heart and mind. She thought about what she was going to do with all her belongings in the suitcase and frustrated about her choice between the suitcase and what she valued within her heart and mind she was really in a bind of what she thought was important.

She thought of her life, her friends, her position in life and all the things she accumulated in her life as she was reasonably wealthy.
She just could not figure out what was of most valuable to her that she can think upon for the duration of her journey.

However, as it came close to the time that she was boarding her plane she sort of looked at this guy she did not know but, he seemed familiar and was rather upset with him as why he suggested to bring only what is important to her.

Nevertheless, she thought well she had her thoughts her feelings her perceptions ideas her passions reflections and dreams her memories of such and decided they were the most important things that mattered.

The man said to her that he was relieved because nobody wants your anger or hate or bitterness
because where you are going is to see my father in Heaven where you will dwell in paradise with me and him who sent for you.
All your experiences all the things you learned in this life is all anyone really has.
The material world is made to serve you but it will not be needed when it comes time to leave this world. professor

I see....I wonder how many suitcases of money can be taken to hell? conversing

The ultra rich seem to think there are no restrictions.dunno
Anyway...joke aside...if we don't leave this earth baggage free we're given another chance or...many more lives to put it right by working on our issues.


Buddhist monks spend their life in a temple meditating and getting rid of all their karma so they don't have to come back.
One question...do I get a tall dark and handsome stranger accompanying me if I go to hell? uh oh
I'd have taken the sunscreen professor

I wouldn't allow a stranger to tell me what I can or can't do anyway mumbling
People are thinking that Heaven or Paradise is a place where you go after you die. I will say that is not true .... It is not about a place, it is about a state of mind. And this state of mind you can reach before you die. But people are waiting to die .... to get in paradise laugh
In the mean time they live a life of misery and ignorace ... but full of hope.laugh
you where born with nothing , you die with nothing.
I also agree with you Swami....it's just another realm..angel
For once I agree with you String! thumbs up
Hiya Crazy lady..hug

Of course I've experienced heaven many times...
All the things you describe here and many more...

I'm in heaven every day when I wake up in the morning and look at the beautiful sea view from my window and the sun is shining.

I'm in heaven when I groom my beautiful horses..smitten

I'm in heaven when I read some beautiful poetry written for me..smitten
Daniela,

Yes...that's what heaven here on Earth...heaven is everywhere around us but many are too blind to see or have a distorted concept of what or where heaven is all about...I could be wrong but I've already experienced heaven here and if I don't get to get in there after this life, then I have no regretsyay
I was 5 years long there ... I have no idea how I get out ..... people helped me , I helped myself ... And I was very lucky ...
But I learned a good lesson. Human beings are so vulnerable ... one small error and they may be lost forever.
Swami,

Glad that you made it out...yes, we are very vulnerable and because of that we do need others: family, good friends, nature, etc...to make life worth living.

existing on our own is no life at allsigh
Daniela,

Tell us. Have you experienced the hell?

"Well Thought Out"

"Well Presented"


"Well Said"...........................detective
I'm not a pious person and I do not know a lot about religions but what I do know is why I am on this earth.

Why all the sufferings and joy...

When I'm ready, I'll like to know more about the mysticism of life grin

Meanwhile, I'll try to do good but at the same time not to brag about it.

I have a tendency to brag about just anything....help
