Since there is no “Heaven”
“UP” “THERE”
What if?
It was just in an
Adjacent dimension
Or an overlapping one
Maybe even as an
Infused dimension
Mixed in with the “reality”
We are experiencing “now”
What if all we had to do
(Yes, that is the royal “we”)
Is behave as if we are
Experiencing what it is
As one’s best perception
Would allow one to know
A heaven as it may be
Could you do it
Since for so long it has been
Indoctrinated as something
Outside of possible attainment
Lest one “dies” “here” to go “there”
Or be “born” “from” to be sent “here”
My guess is that there are
No guns or WMD’s in “heaven”
To shoot away your problems
Or defend something or someone
That lives eternally
In the first place
After all, it is “heaven”
Another guess would be
That no one is starving on heaven
Or does not have a “place” to stay
Has “perfect” health, why not
I doubt there are hospitals in/on heaven
Every soul can move around freely
It is really hard to put walls on clouds
Or in a dimension you can’t see
For that would be heaven
Heaven to me
.
“Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…. Aha-ah…”
From John Lennon’s
“Imagine”
.
HELL
.
“The whole image is that eternal suffering awaits anyone who questions God’s infinite love.
That’s the message we’re brought up with, isn’t it?
Believe or die!
Thank you, forgiving (for giving) Lord, for all those options.”
– Bill Hicks
.
Hmmm, no hell below us.
Gee, that makes sense at least
Realizing what is under our feet
That no geo or astro physicist
Has ever identified or located
Any netherworld cavernous locale
Where “scary” horned characters are
Scurrying around with pitchforks
Poking and taunting new arrivals
Why…..’cause it is too #ucking hot
That should be the miracle
To consider is that we are
Floating through the cosmos
On a thin layer of nutritious dirt
A Goldilocks mixture of carbon
Magnificent minerals grand gasses
That combine the right mix of
Hydrogen and oxygen to form
Life giving water for trees and us
Under a crusty layer of rock
Pooling water that’s not boiling while
Hovering over a molten fireball
That provides everything we need
And basically anything we can imagine
Because obviously some stuff
That is imagined goes way beyond
Reality when taking a closer look
Of actualities over fantasies
.
“Religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do.
And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever ’til the end of time!.
But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He’s all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can’t handle money! “
– George Carlin

“And immediately, I thought of the sun. Happened like that. Overnight I became a sun-worshipper. Well, not overnight, you can’t see the sun at night. But first thing the next morning, I became a sun-worshipper.
Several reasons. First of all, I can see the sun, okay? Unlike some other gods I could mention, I can actually see the sun. I’m big on that. If I can see something, I don’t know, it kind of helps the credibility along, you know?
So everyday I can see the sun, as it gives me everything I need; heat, light, food, flowers in the park, reflections on the lake, an occasional skin cancer, but hey.
At least there are no crucifixions, and we’re not setting people on fire simply because they don’t agree with us.
Sun worship is fairly simple. There’s no mystery, no miracles, no pageantry, no one asks for money, there are no songs to learn, and we don’t have a special building where we all gather once a week to compare clothing.
And the best thing about the sun, it never tells me I’m unworthy. Doesn’t tell me I’m a bad person who needs to be saved.
Hasn’t said an unkind word. Treats me fine. So, I worship the sun. But, I don’t pray to the sun. Know why? I wouldn’t presume on our friendship. It’s not polite.”
– George Carlin
A Martian clock
Is different from our
Ticking, digital or paper
Earth clocks
Likewise our perceived
Gregorian calendar
Or the myriad of other
Previous or overlapping
Created calendars
Tracking something
That doesn’t exist
Giving us a glimpse
Of proof that our
Predecessors
Made it all up
Yet like good soldiers
We follow its orders
Whether we are
Marching single file
Or 8 Billion abreast
There is no
Falling out of line
Only that our steps
Get more stringent
Refined and defined
Beguiled and defiled
Crunching all the while
Down to the last minute
Can you spare a second
To consider that each
New day is another day
To be celebrated
Like it is the last
For one day
It will be
Which will be to late
In time to check reality
Tenuous at best
Grab an ice cube
Place it in your palm
Declare
I have ice in my hand
True?
Bzzzz. FALSE
You have bones “in” your hand
Try it again
I have ice on my hand
True?
Ding. TRUE
Let linear moments pass
Declare
I have ice on my hand
True?
Bzzzz. FALSE
You have water in your palm
.
Lesson learned
Nature will decide
What is true or not
Given “time” and circumstance
Not your declaration or
Anyone else’s
For that “matter” as in
Waves or particles
Depending on the
State they are in
Whilst observed
.
“And That’s the Truth”

Your liberty was
Compromised at birth
When you entered this
Dimension from the last one
Where you were free
To do as you pleased
Till you chose to enter
This dense dimension
Liberty, my happy ass
Even with the limited
Freewill you do have
It is wasted on either
Conforming or nonconforming
Making moot decisions of
Paper or plastic
Dine in or take out
* “Democrats or Republicans
That is just Coke and Pepsi.
Same crap different can”
Pretending like either is
A viable way to live in
Totalitarianism or socialism
Like one is exercising their
—-God given rights –— oops
Legislated privilege of freedoms
Instead of consciously experiencing
A life to actually affect this life
With matters of real importance
Manifesting a sustainable
Balanced place to live so that
Each successive generation
Has a better happier more fulfilling
Experience on this fragile sphere
To experience liberty for all
The majestic miracle of each
Sunrise and sunset
Inhale and exhale
Awakening and slumber
Not looking over your shoulder
To keep ahead of the jones’s
Only barely able to stay afloat
Dog paddling to survive
Because carrots of opulence
Are dangled to distract and taunt
Not following or opposing
The sheep herder who is
Constantly crying wolf
While slaughtering his flock
To justify that each time
He needs be heard over and again
With awareness comes change
And the ability to break free
Away from the statute of liberty
“And Liberty…
The meaning of Liberty
The dictionary definition…
“Liberty means freedom from government restriction and control”.
Not only do we not have liberty.
Who has less liberty than the children, you make say this. (Pledge)
That’s the irony. They get the least liberty you’ve had it. We don’t have, they got… [??] They can’t do shit.
We got the oldest children in the world in this country.”

The centralization of power
Leads to the
Dehumanization of people
Sacrificing one’s own
Autonomy and spirit
To the soul grinding gears
Of the machine
It is not what
The “They” ‘s want
It is what occurs
When “We” let
Our guard down
Trusting a system
That excludes intuition
Sanity and self realization
Not listening in fool / full
Or in part to
The wisdom of
Our collective heart
One that knows
We are all one
All one consciousness
Which includes everything
Before and after infinity
Individual sparks of divinity
.
“Machines (Or Back To Humans)”
“It’s a Machine’s world
Don’t tell me I ain’t got no soul
When the machines take over
It ain’t no place for rock and roll
They tell me I don’t care
But deep inside I’m just a man
They freeze me they burn me
They squeeze me they stress me
With smoke-blackened pistons of Steel they compress me
But no-one, but no-one, but no-one Can wrest me away
Back to Humans.
We have no disease,
No troubles of mind
No thank you please,
No regard for the time
We never cry, we never retreat
We have no conception
Of love or defeat.
What’s that Machine noise
It’s bytes and megachips for tea
It’s that Machine, boys
With Random Access Memory
Never worry, never mind
Not for money, not for gold.
It’s software it’s hardware
It’s heartbeat is time-share
It’s midwife’s a disk drive
It’s sex-life is quantised
It’s self-perpetuating a parahumanoidarianised.
Back to Humans
Back to Humans.
Back to Machines.
Living in a new world
Thinking in the past
Living in a new world
How you gonna last
Machine world…
It’s a Machine’s world…
Change.
Back to Humans”

It is not that machines dehumanize
(Another clever clichéd scapegoat)
It is that the machine dehumanizes
By the way, just a heads up
There is no natural law
Preventing leaders
From stepping up
To do the right thing
It is just that it is
Buried so deep in
Our consciousness
That one thinks they
Have to be elected
To lead
When all that leads to
Is someone promising
That they can lead
Well #uck I could do that
I choose not to, for as much
As I wish not to be lead
The last thing I would want
Is for anyone to follow me
My path, albeit a tad arrogant
Yet probably more gentle than most
Is for me by thinking for me
Choosing a morality for me
One that says be kind to everybody
Regardless race religion geography
Height width gender or wealth
Not one described in a book
That is filled from cover to cover
With impossible contradictions
Murder illegal lest it’s filialcidal
The worst of any possible example
Commanding thou shalt not kill
Then standing behind oh yeah
An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth
Nor adhering to the “Rule of law”
Which seems to favor wealthy
Cash flush connected caucasians
Who if they have enough and
Know the right other pink people
Can actually get away with murder
Usually at the taxpayer’s expense
There is another reason I don’t lead
I get sidetracked too easily having
Started with a perspective on leadership
Then picking on religion and gov’t
As examples of do what I say
Not what I do kind of leadership
“Excited but scary to
Believe what we’ve become
Saints and sinners
Something within us
We are lord of the flies

Something willing us
To be lord of the flies”

Not really though
As I’m staying home
Except when being “essential”
A nice euphemism
For “expendable”
Anyway, that is for another post
.
Am I sketching a tall rock formation
Am I playing with mashed potatoes
Am I throwing dirt in the kitchen
Noooooo
Even though the livestock are down
And the tell tale birds have fallen
The helicopters are approaching
Trying to gas me into a deep sleep
I am ducking, dodging and climbing
Drawn to a light like a moth in darkness
Not in the hope aliens will take me home
Rather just knowing if we keep going
Understand this is a new chance in evolving
To search deep inside, for what is missing
What may actually happen, when not consuming
Might really find out, what on earth we’re doing
In keeping it between just us
Has nothing to do with a virus
Rather how we learn to treat people
Not congregating under a steeple
Inside a Mosque or again’ a wailing wall
Knowing it is all for one and one for all

“I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming
But there’s a voice inside my head sayin’
“You’ll never reach it”
Every step I’m takin’
Every move I make feels lost with no direction
My faith is shakin’
But I, I gotta keep tryin’
Gotta keep my head held high
There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose
Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waitin’ on the other side
It’s the climb
The struggles I’m facing
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I’m not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments
That I’m gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep goin’
And I, I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on”
– Miley Cyrus
From “The Climb”
Yes, I am going to crowbar in Imagine
Any chance I get, so here it is again.
“Imagine”
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…. Aha-ah…
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace… You…
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world… You…
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one”
– John Lennon
Finally a plan to allow
Everyone to anonymously
Vote safely from home
Regardless of race
Party affiliation or district
No return postage necessary
As the next official ballot
Will be printed on toilet paper
Which can be sent with one flush
To the local sewage treatment pond
To join the rest of the turds
Where divers will determine
The fair outcome as they see shit fit
Seems it would be the best we
Can hope for in this septic system
Oh 💩 poop
Just realized very few
People will be excluded
In this master plan
Those on each end
Of the age spectrum
For they will be in diapers
And probably shouldn’t
Vote anyway

That the “Masks” that
People are already wearing
Would not protect them

How many more layers
Can one layer on before
One’s being is protected
Behind all of the masks

“I am the modren man
(secret secret I’ve got a secret)
Who hides behind a mask
(secret secret I’ve got a secret)
So no one else can see
(secret secret I’ve got a secret)
My true identity
//
The time has come at last
(secret secret I’ve got a secret)
To throw away this mask
(secret secret I’ve got a secret)
Now everyone can see
(secret secret I’ve got a secret)
My true identity…
I’m Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!”
