Ed and Ann continue traveling in the second, or enjoyment, tier and discuss time and space.
THE GOD GAMES: Heaven & Hell...Chapter Forty Six
We spent two weeks in Puerto Rico lying on the beach, exploring the island, drinking Mai Tai's and Margaritas, and eating the islands rice and beans and many other dishes with plantains and peanuts and olives; all so delicious that there are not enough words to explain them. Then in the eveing, we went to the opera or listened to the island's classical music.
We went to Warner's Hot Springs in San Diego County for a week and indulged ourselves soaking in the hot springs and receiving massages. Later we visited the horse ranch and went on a weekend horseback trek through the mountains. It felt good to be back home again at Warner's Springs.
When we got back from our months of travel and visiting, we were pretty tired and I could not think of another thing that I had wanted to do while on Earth or while I've been in Heaven. So I asked Ed what was next on our agenda.
"I think dear, that we should spend some time thinking about what we have experienced in our travels. Perhaps there is still something that moves your soul that we have not done. I would like to visit my home in Prescott, Arizona, if you would like to go with me."
"Of course we'll go to Prescott, I've been thinking of her for years. I'd like to see her and your old home stand."
We thought about it and then we transported to Prescott. Unfortunately most of the city had changed and grown over the spots that were special to Ed. However, his ancestors names still marked the mountain roads and passes. Ed was glad that we had gone, but was rather saddened that so many of his memories had been obliterated by the flow of progress. We made a special stop at the University of Arizona campus and saw the Frank Lloyd Wright building. It was a beautiful campus, now huge, and I could tell how proud he was of his Alma Mater. Thoughts of Lute Olsen crossed our minds and we wished him the best, and that his memory would live on forever in the hearts of those at the University.
We thought of another thing that we had not done, that we had always wanted to do, and that was to visit museums. We went to the Metropolitan Museum in New York City and were stunned by the Egyptian exhibit. One area had used the very blocks that had built a pyramid to build a small room that you can walk into. The feelings were so strong in that rom; the energy was overwhelming and made you feel that you had been transported back thousands of years into the very pyramid. Then we went to Washington D.C. and visited the Smithsonian. It took us days, but we saw most of the exhibits and were profoundly moved and sincerely delighted.
We hiked through Yellowstone National Park and saw the incredible mountains and trees, and all of the animals-particularly the bison. We could have stayed in the haven of the park forever, but finally headed on home again. I had thought of a couple more adventures that I wanted to take.
Both Ed and I came home tired but very happy. Ed asked me what I thought of to do further, and I remembered one thing that I had thought about all of my life. I wanted to visit the Holy Land, Israel, and walk the paths that the prophets and Jesus had walked. I wanted to see and touch the Wailing Wall and send up my prayers of thanks to my beloved ONE, and ask Him to bless Israel as she was worthy of her calling.
When we came back from a wonderful trip to Israel-that is we got to see the great sights and were not attacked by the war that is brewing there-we decided that we had now seen everything that we had ever dreamed of seeing. So we sat on our white rock couch and just relaxed and rested.
"Honey," said Ed, "I'm not sure if we have talked about the subject of time yet, and our relationship to it here. We live an artificial life while we are here in Heaven, or rather, we live a true life but we use terms and think as though time had constraints, while we are here in the first and second tiers. In all actuality there is no such thing as time or space. All, everything, everywhere, happens in a single, shall we say, 'instant' for lack of a better term. There is one 'point' in which all levels of time and space exist. If you must use time words to define a place or action, then realize that time is vertical, not horizontal.
"Here we are in the crux of all things happening at once and yet we can see just an instance at one time. Soon we will be in the third tier and all such problems as time and space will disappear from our beings as we understand being in the flow, and realize that we are one with all. All needs for terms will have left us, as we understand the whole picture.
"Are you ready to begin the trip to tier three, dear?"
"Yes, dear, I'm feeling this great swelling in my heart and I am feeling anxious to go onward and upward. I do not know what those feelings mean right now, but they are exciting and I am ready to go on to tier three."
Tomorrow Ed, Glenna and Ann begin their travel to the third tier.
