The Fantasy Island.........

[Guest guest]

Fantasy is fiction or a " made up " that are not realistic. It is an imagined or

conjured up sequence fulfilling a psychological need. Lets take example of

Superheroes. Why do we believe in them when we know they are or can never be

real. Superheroes have the ability to do some amazing things.Is it not a form of

escape from the reality of this harsh life. Its nice to fantasies about the

presence of somebody out there who is able to defy death [ like Superman.. with

Iron body.. no bullets could get to him or the wonder woman...] or having this

ability to capture the evil one etc...At the end of the day its all about Good

over Evil..

 

The same for heaven and hell. They are but an illusion some religions create as

a form of escape, or to make people to submit to their set of behavioural

standards. Its their Fantasy Island.

 

Somebody told me " I personally don't believe in frightening people by telling

them about heaven and hell or about day of judgment but these concepts sometimes

in some people induce little sense of responsibility about their behavior and

beliefs in this world but I strongly believe that if there is some diety who is

my creator then it is His right that I should know him and I should be aware of

all the bounties He has bestowed on me and i should be thankful to Him too for

all that. or for at least my existence "

 

My answer is " I call this Healthy Fear. But fear are fear, what purpose does it

serve? To make one do certain things accordingly to the prescribed set code of

conducts? Would it be more meaningful if I am to tell my child, you should not

hurt anybody because it is wrong. If you do not want them to do the same to you,

should you not do the same? It's a basic lesson in humanity. So see another as

yourself… a human being. Instead of telling the child: you must do good to

another so that you can go to heaven…and you offer all the rewards system them "

 

So if you see an elderly and you help him/her to cross the road, is it because

you are being guaranteed rewards or because it's the right thing to do? You see

the problem… when we always expect rewards for all our deeds yes. I have worked

certain number of hours… and such I expect such amount of money being paid to

me. But in spiritualism does it have to be the same? So tell me what does heaven

got to do with it. Heaven is like the same as bribe you demand. The whole

concept it the joy of giving without asking anything in return should it not be?

 

Where is the real heaven and hell? Its all in the mind. Heaven is that space we

create in our mind... like a safe deposit box where we put in all our good

thoughts... all our desires and needs. Hell is that other space in our mind

where we store our nightmares and fears. In our daily life, we fluctuates

between these two space. In between these two space is a vaccum.. a void.. an

empty space. It contain no fears, desires or need..like the space in the

universe. Everything between the Earth, the Sun are all Vacuums. They are not

just cold, empty spaces but consist of stuff that is very difficult for us to

Quantify. Light, radio waves, gamma rays, X-rays etc could pass through these

vacuums but when you try to hold your hand inside that space there would be

nothing. In this space there is no atmosphere or pressure because all the

molecules are spread out as much as possible. So anything place into this space

it will not crushed like in the bottom of the Ocean, but instead will blow up

into pieces as the molecules will try to spread itself up as much as possible to

occupy the space……eventually it will be neutralised and dissappear. What is left

is just a space....and a vaccum.

 

What we need to do is to expand this void space to such an extend that the space

called heaven and hell does not exist anymore....
