It is exciting to see and hear that the subject of death and the afterlife are being discussed in the general media. Barbara Walters' special on Heaven, and this radio program on the Afterlife, are just the beginning of a real discussion and ultimate discovery of the reality of death and interdimensional life. I believe the "places" of heaven (St. Paul counts seven heavens, other cultures count more) and "hell" are, in modern parlance, other dimensions. Science is exploring the "possibilities" of dimensions, but I would rather postulate they are attempting to validate the idea of multiple dimensions. It would be a concrete confirmation of beliefs which have been taught in religious texts in all cultures for thousands of years - only the terminology will change. "Heaven" is a dimension of life, and we are told there are many "heavens" or dimensions.
For those who do not need scientific confirmation, such a validation would still be terribly comforting. The less we fear, the more we live. When we are no longer fearful of the death of the body (which Jesus tried to teach us to be), we can join the English bard with surety -- O, death, where is thy sting? A Christian fearful of death has not embraced the full teaching of Jesus - Love one another as I have loved you - Compassion, Trust in God, Believing Jesus' act of sacrifice truly teaches us not to dwell on our mistakes (sins) against one another, but to trust that God loves us as we are, and will help us to overcome our inadequacies by instilling in us Divine Love, of which we are made. By His wounds we are healed. Let it go, and let God.
Reach deeply into your heart and soul, and drink from the Spring of Life within you - All that is is there - All that is is you.
