Heaven is not something we get, in other words; it is something we become. Heaven is something we find within ourselves, something we discover beyond ourselves, something we come to see and learn to touch and begin to feel in us and around us now. Heaven is finding God now and then growing into life always more and more. Life is not about its endpoint. Life is about making the journey to the within and the ultimate in the consciousness of where we're going.
