without love what is heaven? bliss?

if you could be in paradise without any loved ones, what would that be like?

genesis 2:18


many of the love starved will come from the east and west to sit at the table with abraham, isaac, and jacob. behold I AM coming with the clouds and every eye shall be nourished

Jesus in me
I believe Paradise and Heaven are two different places. I believe most people choose reincarnation because they want to be back with family. For me family is a good thing but I don't form long term ties ie in different lifetimes so Heaven for me was not a place to meet family but a place to rest from the evils of this world.

that would make it a service to self type heaven.

The Garden of Eden is metaphorical and represents the period of man from birth to puberty when he emerges from the Garden of Eden.

During that period, the world of emotions is created in a person from which he tastes and understands his body.

You want to be in the garden of paradise, it means to die and be born again, so you are in paradise again! Right?

And it is quite another thing to enter God's peace!

Love?
What kind of love are you talking about?
The one that a person feels for another or the one that loves life?

You aspire to the sky, huh?
if unconditional surrender is possible, couldn't love be?


where does the sky begin and end for a ant vs a human. it's all a matter of perspective up here in the clouds
