WHAT IF WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS REAL... is mistaken?

 How many people in the West know what the Purpose of Life is?  Or that Life has a Purpose?  Or, that the Creation is a really exquisite kind of "finishing school" for Souls?  However ... precious few Souls realize what the Purpose of Life is, or that they are in school, and the principal of this school is a kind of Perfect Robot called the "Law of Karma"?  And of course this sounds like nonsense, right?

Nonetheless, what I am suggesting is what we are all experiencing.   And your MIND, which I refer to as an "I-MIND"... [and the "I" stands for Invisible] in the sense that your brain is incapable of discerning your I-MIND.   Oddly enough, despite how often the MIND is spoken of by people, your I-MIND isn't part of your physical body. And since it isn't part of your physical body, it easily eludes discovery by our physical senses.  Your I-MIND consists of two subtle energy forms, neither of which is physical. The next sketch illustrates the four elements which comprise the Whole Human Being, or WHB:

#1 is what we can see and think about.  #2 and #3 are the two elements of your MIND, and #4 is the Spiritual part of Man, which we call Soul.  #2, #3, and #4 are all Invisible to the physical part of oneself... which is the reason so few people have ever discovered #2,#3, and #4.  Oddly, those people who have discovered #2,#3, and #4 never seem to Reincarnate.  That is, they are not born again on the physical plane?  Where do they go?

So, #1 is quite a bit for us to deal with, and we are to be forgiven for not "knowing" the Whole of ourselves.  And the Mystics tell us that God indeed does forgive us, not because we don't know any better [which is true], but because God is Love, and the Reality of Love is that it  is an absolute... consisting of two important elements:  Acceptance and Forgiveness.  The attainment of these two elements, by the way... is what we Souls are in the Creation to "learn" [among other things, of course].

Therefore...it is great to believe that if one is "good," one will go to Heaven, and live in Heaven forever.  But wait a moment.. Heaven is not where God resides.  Heaven is merely in the Astral Region of Creation, and God resides in the Pure Spiritual Region, which is not part of the Creation.  Check out this sketch:

And please note that #4 is the same as the Primordial Energy of  Existence, which means it is not part of the Creation, which exists as a small part of Existence. Again the only part the brain can perceive is the physical part. This means #2, #3, and #4 are all invisible to #1.  And what we refer to as Heaven is in #2, and it is not a permanent residence.  Reincarnation is a term that means being born again.  Which we all do, except when a person "graduates" from the school none of us realize we are attending...  The Soul is immortal, and only our physical body dies.   And there is more to tell.
