WHAT IS HEAVEN LIKE WHEN WE DIE?

RASA'S REVELATORY ANSWER TO A QUESTION POSED
TO HER BY A BELIEVER, ADAM SMITH



Dear Guru Rasa please let me know what religion after life is like. I read a Sylvia Brown book that states that religion involves worship of Father God and Mother Goddess whom she calls Asna. She also states that in the after life people continue to worship the religions which they practiced on earth in churches, mosques, etc. How can we reconcile this?

I would appreciate your divine wisdom, Guru Rasa

ANSWER FROM RASA



'IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE THERE ARE MANY MANSIONS' MEANS DOMAINS OR PLACES OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND LIFESTYLE.


THERE ARE A COUPLE SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT ON THIS. THE EAST SAYS WE DISSOLVE AND BECOME ONE WITH THE INFINITE AND THERE IS NO MORE US.


MY QUESTION TO THEM WOULD BE HOW CAN YOU CALL UPON THE PAST AVATARS, GURUS AND SAINTS, IF THEY DO NOT CONTINUE TO EXIST, ON SOME LEVEL, AS INDIVIDUALS? (AND HOW CAN YOU CALL ON GODS AND GODDESSES IF THERE ARE NO INDIVIDUALS... THERE HAS TO BE INDIVIDUALITY ON SOME LEVEL)


THE CATHOLIC VIEW IS THAT WE ARE RESURRECTED BODY AND SOUL. WHEN I WENT TO THE OTHER SIDE - WAS TRANSPORTED - I SAW WHAT THAT MEANT. YOU DO NOT TAKE A PHYSICAL BODY BUT YOU DO TAKE YOUR SENSES. YOUR SENSES ARE EVER MORE PRONOUNCED AND POWERFUL, BECAUSE THEY ARE INNER SENSES. THESE SENSES SENSE EXACTLY AS IF YOU HAD A BODY!


THE LIFE ON THE OTHER SIDE IS COMPLETELY SUBJECTIVE AND VARIES ACCORDING TO WHAT THE PERSON EARNED IN RIGTHEOUSNESS. BUT IT ALSO DEPENDS ON WHAT THEY BELIEVED AND DESIRED, WHAT MEANT THE MOST TO THEM. WHATEVER THEY DESIRE AND WISH FOR, BASICALLY, ONCE THEY ARE IN HEAVEN, IS WHAT THEY WILL GET.


I SAW THAT CLEARLY WHEN MUKTANANDA HAD SOME VISIONS ON THE OTHER SIDE, SAW SOME WORLDS THERE, AND THEY WERE ALL ACCORDING TO THE HINDU TRADITION AND HINDU SYMBOLS. COBRAS, WATER BUFFALOS, PEACOCKS, LOTUSES, GODS AND GODDESSES, ETC. HE INSISTED THAT THAT WAS THE WAY IT WAS AND NO OTHER WAY! THAT WAS THE WAY TO HIM, BUT NOT TO SOMEONE WHO BELIEVED DIFFERENTLY. IT WAS REAL TO HIM, BUT NOT TO A CHRISTIAN.


I HAVE HEARD THE STORIES OF CHRISTIANS WHO WENT TO THE OTHER SIDE AND GUESS WHAT - THEY SAW JESUS AND ALL THE THINGS OF JESUS THEY BELIEVED IN AND ALLTHE DISCIPLES, ETC.


AND CATHOLICS? THEY SEE JESUS AND MARY, AND SAINTS.


I FIND IT RATHER AMUSING THAT WHEN I SAW GOD FACE TO FACE TWICE I SAW NO PEOPLE AT ALL - NO SAINTS, NO PEOPLE. ONLY NATURE, AND I WAS PERFECTLY HAPPY. THIS MIGHT INDICATE WHERE MY HEAD IS AT - WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO MAKE ME HAPPY.


HOWEVER, I AM CONNECTED TO JESUS AND MARY AND THEY BOTH PROMISED THEY WOULD BE WITH ME AT DEATH AND TAKE ME TO HEAVEN. I AM ALSO IN CLOSE COMMUNION WITH YOGA SAINTS AND OF COURSE, ALL KINDS OF SAINTS AND ANGELS. SOMEHOW, IT WILL ALL WORK OUT AND IT WILL BE GLORIOUS.
