Ann & Ed arrive at the domed house on top of the Andrian mountains; the Council of Elders.
THE GOD GAMES: Heaven & Hell...Chapter Forty Two
We stood in front of the domed house and marveled at its beauty; beautiful crystal walls bound together by golden beams. Everywhere you looked the crystal walls reflected rainbows and the gold shone subtly under the warm skies. Ed knocked on the door and it was opened by Raphael, whom I recognized as a member of the Council of Elders.
"Welcome to our sanctuary Ed and Ann," said Raphael. "Come in and make yourself comfortable while I round up Adam and Gabriel."
Raphael showed us to the room that we were going to have our meeting in and then left us to our own devices. We saw, spread before us, a richly carpeted living room with furniture of rosewood upholstered in red and green velvet. There were no curtains at the windows as they looked over a sheer cliff and there was no one who was going to be able to look in. We sat down on an overstuffed couch that we just sank into and sat enjoying the view.
Soon Raphael returned with Gabriel and Adam in tow. They greeted us and welcomed us to their home, then they had us get up and led us into an attached dining room with a large table covered in food and drink. We filled plates with fruit, vegetables, and freshly baked bread. There was a large pitcher of grape juice filled with ice cubes and we filled up large mugs. Then we returned to the living room where there were wooden trays now set up by our seats. When all five of us were in the living room and settled down, we asked Adam what was in store for us now. Adam said to take some time with our refreshments and then we would be ready for our meeting.
We took our time and enjoyed the view before us as we ate. When we had finished, Gabriel spoke and all of the food vanished and the room was cleared up. The three gentlemen sat down across from us and told us we were about to learn the mysteries of Heaven and our part in those mysteries.
Adam told us that he would be the first teacher and that he would go over the entire process with us first, then Gabriel would talk about the "work" tier and Raphael would tell us about the "enjoyment" tier.
"I am sure that you are wondering what is going to go on in the next steps that you take. I am here to explain the different tiers to you; your place in each tier, and in each level within each of the tiers.
"Heaven is divided into three tiers. There is the 'work' tier, the 'enjoyment' tier, and the 'unity' tier. Each tier is divided into an infinite number of levels. In the 'work' tier there are energy forms required for work to be done. For instance if a buffet table is required for some purpose, an energy form needs to imagine it and bring it into existence. It is a simple and instantaneous task, which is simply a re-arrangement of energy. All work is an act of creation, that is why there is no such thing as a 'menial' task if Heaven.
"This part of Heaven was created to serve the wishes of people like your father whose passion is to cook; so much so that he would dream of cooking in his sleep. Your father runs a huge kitchen where he directs the sculpting of ice sculptures and the making of vegetables and fruits into fish, animals, and flowers.
"The work tier is also for the Professor of English Literature who desires to continue to teach. There are many different jobs here at home, anything that you can imagine to do, such as a facilitator, teacher, food preparer, gardener, animal handler, Engineer, Architect, Geologist, Diplomat, Librarian, or anything else that you are interested in. Going to the work tier in home is an individual choice that brings those that choose that, a great deal of joy and accomplishment. As an example, the honorable Father Moses, with his brother Aaron, loves to teach the groups of halakic scholars that come before him for learning every day.
"The 'enjoyment' tier is where you enjoy the abundance of Heaven. There are retreats and you can take up studies and learn as much as you wish. You can study, discuss, enjoy concerts and museums, travel the Cosmos by thought alone, interrelate with your earthly family and friends, participate in sports, attend any university and in general have a lot of fun while growing spiritually. This is always a good choice to make while you are still looking for mental and spiritual growth; or a lot of fun!
"The third tier is the one that you will eventually decide to settle in. It requires a giving up of the self; a giving up of the ego to the great beloved, ONE. It is here that you are no longer separate from ONE, but live as one with Him forever. You will find yourself creating other worlds in far distance solar systems. You will find yourself creating other energy forms that will become new beings and will begin life games of their own. This Heaven will give you infinite joy as you give up your ego to ONE, and begin to create in unity.
"Rest a while now, and then Raphael will tell you about the 'working' tier."
With that, we all sat back and relaxed, and thought about all that we had been told. We were kind of overwhelmed.
Tomorrow Ann and Ed are taught about the working tier.
