"All the way to heaven is heaven."
-- St. Catherine of Siena
Cathy knows there is no difference between the journey and the destination -- it's either all heaven, or there's no heaven. Sure, some days are better than others, if we're stuck on the emotional roller coaster. But if we live from the Spirit rather than the mind, then we trade in our E-ticket for peace, joy and love. Seems like one helluva deal!
For what is heaven but the realm of the Spirit? It's surely not some pie-in-the-sky, after death, white-winged fantasy world. Hopefully, we've all graduated from spiritual kindergarten long ago.
Heaven is here and now. Embedded in, indeed the essence of, each moment. Heaven has never "gone missing," it's just our vision that is less than perfect. The world doesn't need to change. Neither do we need to become saints. We simply need to see more deeply in order to perceive Reality. Otherwise, we spend our time stuck in the world of appearance, the world of illusion wondering what the hell we need to do to get to heaven.
You don't need to do anything other than see/realize that Heaven already is wherever you are. Heaven -- clean and green all the way! Or maybe that's clean and golden. Either way, choose your color and go. And, remember -- it all about enjoying the journey.
