If Heaven Really Exists, Who Would Ever Want to Miss It?
Sing a joyful song today. Sing of Me, and sing of Thee. Let your tune reach the High Heavens. You want Heaven today? Then sing its song. Vibrate at the rate of Heaven, and you can only be here. You are here anyway, yet, as you sing, you will feel it. You will begin to know it.
You know what feels good. Heaven feels good to you. Even those who do not believe in Heaven, the idea feels good to them too. Heaven is inescapable, beloveds, and yet you may have been fleeing from it. You may say you haven't been thinking of Heaven at all, yet you have been fleeing to anywhere, seeking to evade even the possibility of Heaven. Much of what you have sought is an avoidance of Heaven. Yes, of course, you have been meaning to choose joy, a pleasure, a moment's thought away from perceived troubles. To think of Heaven and all it means to you and not to have the awareness, indeed, that is a lot to bear.
It's like you had the winning lottery ticket in your hand, and you don't know what you did with it. You put the winning ticket somewhere, but where? When you can't find it, it might just as well not be true that yours was the winning ticket. You would just as soon not have missed the twenty million dollars.
By the same token, if Heaven really exists, who would ever want to miss it? It would be like that winning ticket you misplaced, and you can't bear to think about it. To have and not have is too much. To be in Heaven and not know it, that is an ache in the heart.
"Let's go do something else and forget about it," you say. "Let's have a party," you say. "Or let's buy a car. Or let's rob a bank. We'll certainly get our mind off Heaven then. Anything would be better than feeling the loss of Heaven. How could I live with myself then if I knew I had missed Heaven by one street? I went down Second Street and Heaven was right there on First Street all the time."
But, hey, beloveds, you can turn onto First Street now. You can look for it. Sometimes you've gone past the street you want more than once. Sometimes you've been driving down the street you want all along, only you didn't realize.
Awareness isn't something you can talk yourself into, beloveds. You know that. Awareness isn't a lesson you can study. Awareness can yet happen at any time, just the way you can wake up spontaneously in the morning at five or six or seven.
All you have to do is to desire to find the right street and keep going in that direction. If the sun rises on the east, to meet the sun you go east. You will come to the sun. In the case of Heaven, north, east, south, west, all lead to Heaven, for Heaven is not in an isolated place. It is everywhere. You can find it anywhere!
Heaven is not like a penny you might expect to find on the street. Pennies are somewhere on just about every street, yet you know that pennies are not everywhere. Heaven is easier to find than a penny on the street, for Heaven is everywhere. You have passed through it many times, beloved, unaware where you were.
You are in Heaven now. You will discover where you are. All it takes is your awareness.
What has happened is that you have cast a spell on yourself, and now anticipate that you will remove it. I will help you.
