How do you 'THINK' of 'HEAVEN'?

What do you think of this metaphor for heaven. Hope and Fruition?



"If I am allowed to give a metaphorical allusion to the future state of the blessed, I should imagine it by the orange-grove in that sheltered glen on which the sun is now beginning to shine, and of which the trees are, at the same time loaded with sweet golden fruit and balmy silver flowers. Such objects may well portray a state in which hope and fruition become one eternal feeling." Sir. H. Davy



How do you think of Heaven? What metaphors come to your mind? What 'vision'?

How do you 'THINK' of 'HEAVEN'?
I see beauty when I think of Heaven...rivers, streets of gold..jewels. But Heaven is NOT an 'illusion' it is a real, divine place.
Reply:One doesn't "think" of heaven: one fantasizes about it. Thinking involves analysis. Any analytical mind can see that there's obviously NO supernatural ANYTHING. Right? I mean, the supernatural is above and beyond the natural world. The natural world is the only one we live in and have access to. Therefor, NOBODY can know ANYTHING about the supernatural. Period. Anybody who claims otherwise is lying or delusional. That is a FACT.



The supernatural includes: God, heaven, miracles, leprechauns, angels, devils, jinns, Allah, Santa Claus and the tooth fairy. Anybody who "believes" in any of these is professing to put their imagination above their intellect. This is known as fantasy. Like anybody else, such a person has only one life to live, yet he/she places "faith" in something there is no way to know ANYTHING about. Abandoning one's quest for truth in such a shameless manner relegates you to a life without the rich fullness nature offers you in abundance.



Such a waste!
