A first love? The excitement of pregnancy? A new career? A huge success? How did you feel? How did the world seem in that moment? Perhaps one of these questions will help you remember what it was like:
You've actually been there before, many times, but forgot. So let's start with what Heaven on Earth is. Where would I find Heaven on Earth around here?' 'The kids are driving me crazy, the commute-traffic headache hammers me daily, stress at work is killing me, and household bills are piling up again. 'What's he talking about?' you may ask yourself.
And, as an ordained interfaith minister with a doctorate in ministry, I know what the mystics from every tradition have been trying to teach us for centuries: Heaven on Earth is already here when we're awake enough to see it! It is real but you have to learn how to see again.
I know I'm not crazy because I'm a clinical psychologist. I experience Heaven on Earth everyday: an incredibly beautiful, peaceful and holy place all around me where problems dissolve into joy, people appear resplendent, and the everyday world is transfigured into a timeless and enchanted wonderland.
