Down through the ages a number of sages have suggested that heaven is actually on earth, or at least available here by way of various means. However, most modern religions have strayed from their beautiful message and instead insist that this current existence is one of sin, suffering, and the curse of possessing a mortal body. They advise us to repent of our wicked nature, reject the pleasures of the flesh, and postpone the ultimate until death allows us to finally approach the divine.
Well, they’ve got it all wrong. We don’t have to wait to experience heaven. Indeed, heaven is waiting for us.
It lurks behind bushes, below bridges, and inside abandoned buildings. It hides on top of high mountains, in deep cool canyons, and at the bottom of the lake. It resides within storm clouds, bolts of lightning, and the colors of a rainbow. Heaven abides on the other side of walls, doors, and stained glass windows. It exists beneath your feet, behind your back, and in front of your eyelids when they are closed. For paradise is always present, whether we notice it or not.
I have written a book that explores how, where, and why heaven is accessible to mere humans. But it is not attained through traditional methods such as doing penance, saying prayers, or paying a steep price. Because, you see, ecstasy is free.
The gates are open.
