Heaven

You don't have to belong to any specific religion in order to believe in heaven. Nor is there one concept of what heaven actually is.

We go about our lives, doing whatever needs to be done. Some of us feel guilty in a way, for not doing a good deed. Or we worry that we might be punished in a life after this for doing something bad. The point is, we worry so much, that we forget one very important thing. That is, that heaven is right where we stand.

This is a very controversial concept. A lot of us have been taught that heaven is a place we go if we are good in this life. Or we are taught that we will have a better life next time around, if we are good now. So, consequently, we experience and create our own hell here on Earth so that maybe we will be rewarded for it. But I ask, why would we want to suffer all our lives? We don't have to. It is a conscious choice. To live in pain so that we may live a joyful existence later on.

Like I said, we don't have to do this to ourselves. Heaven is here and now. Look around you. Look at the chance you have been given. Of course, some may be harder to see than others. You can do what you feel. You can experience life in the grandest way. Don't be fooled into thinking that enjoying that feeling of freedom is bad. You will not be anymore selfish. If you want to be kind and generous (as is a common desire among Jedi), then you can be, and still delight in the heaven you have been given.

There is no destination. There is no path to follow. There is no where to go, and nothing to do. You are ALREADY THERE.
