As you have seen Heaven and can describe it to me, I have

seen hell and can describe it to you. This isn't it.

Like Heaven, hell is a place made of energy, but instead

of beauty, wisdom and light, you behold only a sea of

fire. You have no eyelids so you can not blink. There's no

physical pain but much time to think. What wrong have I

done, how long must I stay, God please make this vision

of hell go away.

What Really Matters???


Whether it vibrates or makes any sound?
The number of thingies that circle around?
Whether it travels in clusters or waves?
The time that it takes or the time that it saves?

In the door, on the floor, in a brown paper bag
Layed out in a line or in a zig zag
How for it's away, the shape that it's in
On the tip of your tongue, on the end of a pin

Whether it's solid or liquid or gas
A small coin of gold or a big bag of trash
How long it remains, the way that it moves
What color it is, whatever it proves

So come all yee faithfull and kick it around
Lets argue the meaning, obscure and confound
Lets call it a name that the others won't know
Lets burry it deep and then hope it can grow

Lets gather it up and call it our own
Lets get it together or LEAVE IT ALONE!!!

Thank you for the last line brother as it did tickle me,

although no laughing matter. It is true, many were slaughtered

with spiritual understanding superior to our own. Then, we

teach our children at the earliest stages to pledge allegiance

to our illgotten gain. "In the name of a piece of dirt, for

a change of accent, or the collor of our shirt, better the

pride that resides in a citizen of the world, than the pride

that devides when a colorful rag is unfurled." The Christian

brain wash machine has indeed taken it's tole with it's

teachings of false righteousness. I see Eastern views as

superior but riddled with half truths and truth fragments.

It is better to hang the coin and spin it than to see one

side and call it whole truth. All religions have pieces to

the puzzle, but like the doer and the thinker, make no

allowance for the other. All we can do is lay out the truth

for whoever will accept it.

I too look forward to the change that comes, be it the end

or the new beginning. Like you I have no fear of this time.

We long for it, as do many not of this world.

I will do what is right because it is right,

not for the promis of heaven or through fear of hell.

I, for one, am happy with and greatful for the life

I was given,

far be it from me to ask or hope for another.

And I will continue to be virtuous, to the best of

my ability, whether or not there be a reward or

punnishment for doing so.

Those who subscribe to most western religions do so

not because they know it is right but because they

want something more than or in addition to the lives

they were given.

I conclude that greed is the foundation on which

western religion is built. Not to serve God but to

serve self.
