All of life exists along a spectrum of vibration of Consciousness. The higher the vibration, the closer you come to the experience of bliss—of perfection—of the totality of God. Just as in the physical world you can only perceive a limited segment of the spectrum of electromagnetic energy, light, and colors, so it is that because of the density of the physical body you can only perceive a limited segment of the whole of Consciousness here, even though Consciousness makes up your very soul.
The greatest bliss you can experience now is but a tiny speck of the glory that awaits you. That is why you call it Heaven and innately know there is something so much better. Heaven is not a place, but a state of consciousness. You create your own heaven on earth from moment to moment by your choice of thoughts, and beliefs, and actions. You slide up and down the scale of consciousness from moment to moment using your very will. What WILL you experience today? Will it be heaven or hell? It is always a choice.
Know that you enter into the so-called Heaven vibrating as a soul at the very state of consciousness or level of vibration that your soul earned here. So, unless you are quite content with your use of will and love at this point, do not be in a hurry. Work on perfecting your thoughts now so that you will enter the next phase at an even higher point on the spectrum. Yes, you will be surrounded by love no matter at what level you enter, but the greater your love here and now, the more heavenly the experience ever after. It is all one spectrum leading to the same place: Home.
