RELIGION’S HEAVENLY BLISS

… IS …

REAL-LIFE’S EMOTIONAL BLISS

EMOTIONAL REPORT IS THE HUMAN CONDITION’S PREVERBAL DIALECT FOR MONITORING ITS HUMAN EXPERIENCE … WE RELATE TO LIFE EMOTIONALLY  

“Emotion, I suggest, is a biologically given sense, and our most important one. Like other senses – hearing, touch, and smell – it is a means by which we know our relation to the world.”

               Dr. Arlie Russell Hochschild from The Managed Heart

IT’S HUMAN NATURE TO LONG FOR THIS LIFE ANSWER 

Understanding this query provides a present-moment sense of primal safety for the human condition.

Deep down inside on the most basic level, every person wants to understand how they’ve been conditioned to allow the cause/effect relational principles driving the ongoing change that turns the pages of their present moment influence and bring about their emotional mood states.  They want to own it and replace the cause of fear potential with a mindset open to an endless capacity for love, happiness, and compassion to experience a living paradise of joy and happiness … like in the lyrics to John Lennon’s Imagine.

This inner drive teases everyone … yet, is understood by only a few.  

“Your emotions don’t create problems – they arise to help you deal with problems. Learn their language and you can change the world.” 

                      Karla McLaren, M.Ed.

Until finally deriving an enlightened understanding of life and its purpose, people will struggle to find this answer before understanding the basic question that this forever evasive answer satisfies.

What is this eternal paradise of heavenly bliss with which religion bates potential believers? Before finally devoting time and effort to self-discovering the basic question, many give up when frustrated trying to self-discover/figure out the answer … trying to understand that tug-of-anx at their primal core.

MANY COMPROMISE CONTROL OF THEIR FREEWILL TO FIND A SHORTCUT TO SATISFY THAT PRIMAL QUESTION/ANSWER MATRIX 

Believers willingly forge an ever-trusting faith that’s blind to the validity of some religion’s template of god-said-wisdom-promise of eternal life-after-death joy and happiness as their answer … instead of experientially deriving the intrinsically-seated life wisdom themselves from walking guided down the living pathway of their own life experience to expose that deeply lingering question and let surface its answer to make whole the inborn question/answer riddle explaining the human condition’s reason and life purpose.

Before the potential believer rightly develops their experiential understanding of what heavenly bliss is, religion baits its followers FreeWill with its promise of an eternal life-after-death blissful paradise by using a deep-reaching emotional ploy.  It selectively tiptoes through the highs and lows of humanity’s emotional minefield … the dream of the religion’s promised eternal joy and happiness for those with an emotional glass half full and the horror of unimaginable eternal fire and brimstone for those with an emotional glass half empty have maintained religion’s purely theological existence for millennia.  

A BELIEVER’S IMAGINATION-SKETCHED PROMISED LIFE-AFTER-DEATH ETERNAL PARADISE IS DANGLED ON RELIGION’S BELIEVER PROMISE-DEPENDENT STICK … BARELY JUST OUT OF THE BELIEVER’S LIVING GRASP

This heavenly bliss is in exchange for the believer’s living FreeWill. They demand the believer to promise their unquestioning blind faith obedience until their death … or be thrown into the eternal anguish of fire and brimstone. Believers will continue living their lives blindly faithful, yet with one unconscious eye open searching through other templates of different religions’ borrowed wisdom for a more revealing answer to that unknown question.

They must flip through the religion’s bible they must carry along with them for unknown future life challenges that test their reservoir of life wisdom. They must reference and piece together “book-chapter-verse” combinations of their chosen god’s promised wisdom to resolve challenged instances of life circumstance. It’s blind faith wisdom that should rather have been experientially honed into the believer’s intrinsic catalog of experientially-based (Tree of Life) wisdom recall referenced and spoken from their heart. 

Like with the Eden snake’s promised wisdom from the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge for Eve then Adam, religion templates need new believers to have blind trust in the credibility of the written record of an outside source reporting an unverifiable god’s promise of wisdom of all things good and evil … just like the Eden tree … yet all the believer gets is borrowed wisdom hollow of cause/effect understanding … like what faced Adam & Eve when confronted by Jehovah after yielding to the snake’s snake-oil-salesman pitch. 

This is not the experientially sourced knowledge-derived wisdom from the Tree of Life that Jehovah made spiritual life-or-death clear to Adam on day 6 in the Garden of Eden Genesis creation. It was Christianity’s god’s first mandate to mankind at the very beginning of their Bible!

Tree of Life wisdom is the sort of wisdom necessary to remain spiritually in Eden. Ironically, any religion’s bible or cult’s logic dangles from a branch on Eden’s Tree of Knowledge vacant of any Tree of Life Wisdom. 

For believers now with a religion’s unverifiable promise-to-cure outside answer to that primal question/answer veneered to their worldview masking their inborn curiosity and somewhat neutralizing their fear of the unknown, the ignored mystery still exists.

It will continue to prod the believer’s present moment with its stick of curiosity. When any opportunity arises, the be-safe believer will continue to covertly look under any new rock of possibility for that primal life answer that will make that hidden question more visible and understandable. 

We must develop the inward registered “Tree of Life” intrinsically justified confidence in understanding the answer to that human condition/human experience question … not settling for a “Tree of Knowledge” book/chapter/verse retort to merely intellectually summarize a borrowed understanding. 

YOU LIVE IN HEAVEN NOW … LET IT SURFACE & FEEL IT

For starters … to have the mental bandwidth available for the focus necessary to develop an understanding awareness of humankind’s shared life purpose it is essential to remove the search-stopping presence of religious theology’s imagined middleman’s lock on the FreeWill’s questioning and adapting abilities. This removal allows the quieting of confusing mental white noise and focusing the awareness of a more controllable mind on ‘aha’ moments of insightful revelation derived from questioning anything not understood and experiencing the interplay between life principles and their effect on mood-causing perceptions that have helped condition emotional reactions and negatively affected efforts at understanding and increasing emotional regulation.

Become enlightened … gain emotional balance through experimentally gaining knowledge through catching ongoing change red-handed in person to experientially derive the life wisdom to understand how natural life principles affect conditioned emotions. Find that emotional balance that replaces emotional suffering with the emotional joy and happiness that arises … while living to experience emotional/heavenly bliss. 

THE BAD AND THE GOOD

Derive an intrinsically radiated understanding of what heaven truly is. Some will say the bad part is that we still have to die. Others will say the good thing is that we will understand it and be comfortable with death’s arrival.
