Beyond that we know nothing but in our state of mind we can do anything, that is, our mind can do anything, play any game. We have more control over what goes on in our mind than in any other realm. The heaven I talk about that is in my mind, in the piece I wrote, is a figment that helps me live my life in the way I wish to live it. I don’t want to be angry as it doesn’t make me feel good. My imagined heaven helps me avoid anger. I turn what would otherwise be a bitchy job into a game. What could be better? As for Dubya, think about some game you play with others. Do you treat them with kindness? “Aw, you landed on Boardwalk with a hotel. That’s alright. I’ll let you go this time.” Or do you say, “Pay up, sucker!” In football you block and tackle as hard as you can but after the game shouldn’t it be, “Man, that was a hard hit. Are you OK?” “Yeah, thanks. I’ll feel it for a few days. You’re good.” In my playful mind this is the game and outside of the game, that is, in heaven, there can be nothing but respect for how well others played whether partners or adversaries. Do I believe there is a heaven of any kind? That really seems totally unimportant because, as you say, without a mind nothing exists….or does it? We don’t know but it doesn’t matter. What matters is how we live this life. This life is all we really know. Sure heaven is a state of mind.

First off, heaven is a state of mind. When you no longer have a state of mind, it no longer exists. But even if I'm wrong, and I'll be the first to admit that's possible (something fundamentalists apparently can't do), I don't want to be in any heaven where the murderer of so many people (GW Bush) can get in, thank you very much.
