An Ideal World, Heaven Before We Die.

If creating heaven comes from planting the karmic seeds of a divine experience and from stopping planting seeds of an ordinary world, how far could we push our interpretation of our world into a divine perspective?

(waking, showering, eating, commuting, working, loving, sleeping)

From a golden slumber,
we awaken into heaven
with the thoughts of how to
become the best and sweetest
offering towards every
heavenly creature around us.

The drops of the shower purify us.
Every stain is cleansed.
We are now totally pure
And totally open.

The drops of the shower
Grant every blessing of
Every Buddha, saint and god/dess.
Our soul is quenched
Through and through.

We feel every heart on this planet.
We hear every thought.
All the love and all the wisdom
Is accessible to everyone.

We prepare an offering
Towards every being as a deity,
From ingredients offered by deities
And enjoy it in an enlightened way.

Each taste of divine nectar
Sends waves of bliss and ecstasy to
A paradise of angels within our heart.

That energy then goes out as an offering of gratitude
Towards every other being in paradise.
And they send it all back in a
Never-ending cycle of giving and receiving.

We commute, without moving.
The shapes and colors migrate
As our thoughts shift and
We harmonically dance
Looking though the eyes
Of the Oceans of angels around us.
The subways, freeways, sidewalks
And corridors become dance floors
In a heavenly god and goddess discotheque.

Work becomes a play of
The myriad enlightened
Roles and archetypes
granting and receiving wisdom
With each other.

We join with each other
To bring heaven to everyone
Without exception
Using the most enlightened
Methods that enhance and sustain
The delicate balances within
The life of the mandala
Everywhere and everytime.

Harm and theft are gone as
As a derelict past.

Now unconditional love
Pervades throughout every transaction.
Every interaction causes only heaven.

No rush, no stress,
No goals except enjoying the perfection
Within the unfindable moment of now.

Angels sensitively attract us
Further into heaven.

They catch our eye,
Give a smile, and
Voice some divine mantras,
Which sympathetically resonates with the
Subtle energies within us.

We sing our songs with each other,
Our music reverberating throughout
Our channels with devotion towards
The inconceivable nature of each other.

The lover’s touch encourages us
To surrender into selflessness away
From any ideas of separation or duality
And towards the ever existing union
That always was.

Our union produces more energy
And love than imaginable
Sending us into a deeply
Subtle state of mind
Beyond conception,
Beyond any ‘thing’.

Subject, interaction and object
Become fused into a oneness,
An eternal blissful smile of oneness
That is ultimate Love.

The direct experience without words
Informs us of the underlying
Foundation space of reality
From which every
Construction of every
Story about every thing
In this heaven arises.

We construct relative appearances as
The play of that ultimate nature.
We construct relative words
As the play of that ultimate nature.
We construct relative thoughts
As the play of that ultimate nature.

In the evenings we rest and relax our
Energies into a deeper state of mind.

We dive from the outer heaven
Allowing the everyday mind to absorb
Into the more subtle mind of the dream world.
Exploring and playing within this
Subtle dream reality, we
offer happiness to others,
having fun at play with the morphing nature of things,
Flying, and manifesting whatever
Anyone wishes at will.

From within this subtle dream mind
We peer more deeply into the nature
Of mind and reach that crystalline pure
Transparency of the deepest
And truest part of existence.

Relaxing in that purity.
The I am that.
The not that.
The timeless.
Emptiness.
Oneness.
Not aware of how long,
Or where, or why.
Being love.

We stir.
A subject
Becoming
An object.
And we are born
Into heaven.

Awakening into
The never-ending
Divine play
Once again.
