How can I say what ‘makes up heaven’, when no one can?
Perhaps we should begin at the beginning, not of everything,
Just this thread…and you can define for me what you mean by ‘heaven’.
And not only that but precisely where it lies…
And then of course we may explore who it is that wants to go there…
And of course why…
I have heard it said that god once said ‘I am that I am’…
So I suppose you could say…in a literal way,
That ‘I am’ is equal to heaven.
However it’s not what I meant…
I meant it in the simple sense…of you and me,
And what defines us…
They say ‘if you want to go to heaven, you must die’.
Metaphorically speaking…
And yet you personally want to go?
Perhaps you aspire to go somewhere else!
That magical, mysterious world of shaman and alchemist,
The world of the self…
Or is it that overwhelming bliss you seek?
The ‘state of grace’ that enraptures and transcends,
Or is it just everything…the whole universe…and stuff?
So let me ask if I may, what you mean by heaven…
I do have a feeling you can go there…
It just might be a bit more daunting than you think!
