Orthodox Christians who arrive on this web page may
be thinking that the word "heaven" is the word often used
in the Bible as the Kingdom of God. It is not. Here, we use
the word "Celestial Heaven" to refer to that which Jesus
called "The Kingdom of God". And here the confusion starts,
because we find that there are a whole bunch of "heavens"
below, and inferior to "The Kingdom of God." These lesser
heavens we have called Spirit Spheres or Spirit Heavens. This distinction
is the root cause of so much confusion by Christians, and their
insistance on all other folks going to hell. Quite simply, they
are right that Jesus taught how to enter the Celestial Heavens,
but they are not aware that the Spirit heavens always existed, and
are open to everyone, dependent only on soul condition. And, as
far as we know, no Christian has yet managed to proceed directly
from being a mortal, to the Celestial Kingdom, although in theory
it is possible.
The heavens are just as physical as our world. In
fact we are told that 80% of all matter resides in the Spirit worlds,
invisible to mortals. The heavens are carefully structured so that
like lives with like - if this were not the case, disharmony would
result. To achieve this requires a complex system of progression,
so basically souls can and do progress, becoming ever more refined.
As a result there appear to be many spheres and sub-spheres, with
planes within these, within the heavens. It is the case that there
are sub-spheres where only Catholics live, only Mormons, only Jews,
only Muslims etc. These may indeed be physically widely separated,
indeed perhaps galaxies apart - this aspect is not discussed. However
the heavens are really divided into two sections. There is the Spirit
Heavens - which culminates in the Biblical heavens - the sixth Sphere.
We are told that souls in this Sphere are as perfect as when they
were created, but they progress no further. They cannot see God,
as they do not have much development of their souls, but they are
in all respects again perfect. Many have great development of their
minds.
The Celestial heavens lie above these Spirit Spheres.
(Or may be yet another dimension beyond) Only those souls which
have been transformed by the Divine Love (brought by the Holy Ghost
or Holy Spirit) are able to enter these Spheres. This is the Kingdom
of God that the Bible speaks of, and indeed, as set out there, it
requires rebirth by spirit to enter this Kingdom. As souls progress
in the Celestial Spheres their soul perceptions are enhanced until
they are able to perceive God, through their soul perceptions.
I have just complete a comprehensive summary of "Life
after Death" which includes material from this site and
others regarding the structure of the heavens. This is in the form
of a pdf and can be downloaded. It is a relatively simple summary,
largely devoid of any religious connotations. An html
version is also available.
