The Lost Heaven
The great Sufi Sham Ed Tabrizi said wisely “Hell is in the here and now. So is heaven. Quit worrying about hell or dreaming about heaven, as they are both presents inside this very moment. Every time we fall in love, we ascend to heaven. Every time we hate, envy or fight someone we tumble straight into the fires of hell.”
Sufism represents the esoteric part of Islam. How come what does it mean? The hell and paradise exist, they have been evoked in the Holy Scriptures of the 3 monotheist religions some people will think.
First, the holy scriptures have been written many centuries ago in a certain context.
Secondly, if we focus on the Bible it has been transcripted a few decades even a few centuries after Jesus Christ Himself by oral transmission.
Thirdly, they have been translated from Aramaic (a death language) to Greek then to the Latin and after to our modern languages. Imagine that the first translation of the Bible from Latin to French has been done in the 16th century (1,500 years after Jesus). Why? Because the institutions did not want the folk knows the essence of the messages. Before that those who tried to translate it, have been condemned.
The fourth point, the holy scriptures have been selected and certain of them changed. Indeed in the 4th century (325 AD to be precise) in the Nicea Council, Constantine (the Roman Emperor) used Christianity as a political weapon to master consciousness and give legitimacy to conquest “the world”. Thus it is at this period that the Holy Scriptures have been changed: the reincarnation disappeared, only 4 gospels among 45 have been maintained, some passages have been deleted…
Therefore apparently according to all esoteric currents among the world the paradise and the hell do not exist in the form the intuitions taught us.
If we analyze the Sham Ed Tabrizi’s quote. They “exist” but more subtly they correspond to certain frequencies.
When we hate, we are in hell, why? Because our vibrations are extremely low, linked to gravity. Even in the etymology “gravity” “grave” when you have a matter, a problem, it is linked to density, to matter (“matter” has a double meaning: 1-tangible-solid and 2-problem).
On the other way round when you love, you have butterflies in the eyes, you fly, you are light, you are enlightened, (“light” has a double meaning: 1-weightlessness, 2-the opposite of darkness). This is what one hints at when one talks about ascension in New Age but “initially” (not exclusively) in Christianity with Jesus.
The ascension is not the fact of physically taking off: your body goes in the sky, not at all. It corresponds basically to your vibrations being lighter (and being thereby enlightened) bring you in higher dimensions. This is apparently what could be the 5th dimension. For the skeptical, let me quote the Bible then. Matthew 6-/23,22: “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness.”
When one talks in Islam about “Jihad” what does it mean? In Arabic, it means “struggle”. This is purely an INNER peaceful battle in between your own darkness and your own Light basically.
There is absolutely nothing to see with action towards someone or holy war. A holy war is a non-sense: holy=saint, pure high vibrations, linked to harmony whereas war=pain, low vibrations, associated with sadness… It would be like a “cold fire” or a “hot ice-cube”, it does not make sense. By the way in Arabic or Hebrew (in Semitic languages) Sheitan the devil (which gave “satan”) means the “obstacle”. Nothing good or bad, this is a western dualist vision (the Asian philosophies like Taoism… perceive as Yin&Yang 2 parts of the same medal creating a whole, both being necessarily and complementary to co-exist). Thus “sheitan” is “just” the obstacle to Light. The light can exist only if there are support and a shadow.
Let me quote again this remarkable Sham Ed Tabrizi “The whole universe is contained within a single human being you. Everything that you see around, including the things that you might not be fond of and even the people you despise or abhor, is present within you in varying degrees. Therefore, do not look for Sheitan outside yourself either. The devil is not an extraordinary force that attacks from without. It is an ordinary voice within. If you set to know yourself fully, facing with honesty and hardness.”
Actually, I could have been more direct. One of the keys taught by Jesus Christ is the following ”the kingdom of God is in your midst” (Gospel Luke 17-21), it cannot be clearer. It is CHRISTal clear if I can afford J
Why did one lose this dimension? Why does one procrastinate and externalize heaven or hell? Maybe because it is easier to put the responsibility on the other people, on external events or facts… Inferno comes from Latin and has the same root than “to lock”. What is “inferno” except locking the cell that one creates by the segmentation of the environment, the Source. The prison which has a sense because one decided to give one to the walls that one created in one’s mind.
Me and the other, Me and the rest of the world… Apparently according to most of the esoteric currents, one comes from the Source, the Unity, the Universal Soul, the Oneness, Brahman in Hinduism….
Apparently, the quest, the holy grail, the subtle enigma down to earth after this segmentation, this incarnation, this separation from the unity, this Source would be to find it back and more precisely to Re-Member it: to reactivate it because it is still there… That’s why the great Sufi Rumi said: “You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the entire ocean within a drop”.
This quest to reach back this universal harmony is what in Hinduism one calls “the Samadhi” which is the Union and in a certain way it would be the equivalent of the paradise nowhere.
Some people could ask what about the Last Judgment? Let’s take a metaphor. If a professor teaches his students of MBA and he started by telling them: “Do not worry if you work or you do not, it does not matter you will pass your exam the most important is that you learn and you soak the content of my teaching. As they are mature, some of them they paid by their own, some others took back their studies in parallel with the current job they have so they are naturally motivated. They do not need an incentive, a mark, or a reward: they want to acquire knowledge that they could use in their professional life.
Do you think it could work with teenagers of 12-15 years old?
Apparently, if we fail our exam of life, we are never punished or blamed. There is a system of self-analysis and co-examination with the Source to see if the knowledge, the experience has been understood if we can be graduated (showing the notion of ascension). If not, one decides to repeat a grade: one comes back down to earth by reincarnating (the reincarnation being present in most of the religions: the Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the esoteric currents admit it) until one considers the knowledge is integrated. If one passes the exam: different options, after an MBA one can prepare a Pd.D. or to work, one can become a teacher or after a while, one can be retired and/or to become a professor emeritus.
For those who are less prosaic and more down to earth let me decipher this metaphor. Different options:
There are 2 options:
1-one dies and one is not satisfied so one reincarnates until one integrates the knowledge
2-one dies considering one understood either one gets retired one becomes back a part of the Source, the Unity, the Big All, The Absolute, either one reincarnates to teach people on earth like Lightworkers either one becomes emeritus like an angel (not officially teacher/professor anymore) by teaching indirectly, orienting people through subtle messages…
If you analyze in the mystical green language/language of birds in English: when someone dies one says: he/she passed away, according to me I hear beyond the sound if I read between the lines of the Great Book of Life: “passed the/a way”: did she/he pass her/his exam/experience of life (his/her way: representing the unitary and also the method). “One never knows!*”
How come!! It is not fair if there is no punishment it will be the mess! Most people could think that. Isn’t it already the mess? J That’s why the notion of punishment has been established because the institutions were afraid humanity was not mature enough to understand. But nowadays isn’t that the awakening period that everybody is talking? Isn’t the new era, the arrival of a new paradigm based on trust, confidence, respect, mutual help, tolerance, independence… ?!
The beauty is in the eyes of the one who sees it but the contrary is also true. If you put your evil glasses you will see the planet is hell and if you use the paradise one’s you will marvel at heaven on earth.
What is Dantes’ Inferno? I will explain later in a special article the importance of symbols: they are never direct, they are never imposed but subtly let at the personal interpretation of each sensitivity to decipher its own messages.
Dantes’ Inferno represents the 9 spheres of the hell which have been inspired by the Greek Aristotle philosophy. In a certain way, it might be a metaphor that we decipher as different degrees of lower astral. Indeed there are different layers of realities (vertically and spherical also) with lower and upper astral (apparently full of entities/beings/energies that we cannot see). These lower and upper astral could be associated with the notion of frequencies of hell or heaven to really simplify things.
I can evoke the legend of Shambala (the origin of our name Shambali refers to it among other hidden meanings). Shambala is a myth present in the main religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Shambala (शम्भल) in Sanskrit means literally “place of peaceful happiness” this is a mystical kingdom that some people visualize on the map in Tibet, in Mongolia,… in many other places. Actually, in the Light of wisdom, it seems to be an imaginary, mythical and mystical place that one does not approach with the eyes but more with the heart. It is a kind of paradise which cannot be exclusively earthly nor therefore celestial. That is why Shambali is interior, a sort of inner harmony allowing access to external harmony.
An old Hindu legend reveals that there was once a time when all human beings were gods, but they so abused their divinity that Brahma, the chief god, decided to take it away from them and hide it where it could never be found.
Where to hide their divinity (this divine Light) was the question. So Brahma called a council of the gods to help him decide. “Let’s bury it deep in the earth,” said the gods. But Brahma answered, “No, that will not do because humans will dig into the earth and find it.” Then the gods said, “Let’s sink it in the deepest ocean.” But Brahma said, “No, not there, for they will learn to dive into the ocean and will find it.” Then the gods said, “Let’s take it to the top of the highest mountain and hide it there.” But once again Brahma replied, “No, that will not do either, because they will eventually climb every mountain and once again take up their divinity.” Then the gods gave up and said, “We do not know where to hide it, because it seems that there is no place on earth or in the sea that human beings will not eventually reach.”
Brahma thought for a long time and then said, “Here is what we will do. We will hide their divinity (Light) deep in the center of their own being in their heart, for humans, will never think to look for it there so easily.”
In Shambali you will experience through many ways this practice of zero point energy and mysterious inner.G to be able to manage it in your daily life.
