Part One

Two days ago in heaven an angel with an appointment appeared before God. The angel Doubt came to report that the lines at the gates of heaven were getting longer. God, the Supreme Being, was of course already familiar with the situation, and had been thinking it over. God enjoys getting His reports from His angels, both the good and the bad, and He likes His angels to remain vigilant in the pursuit of their own duties.

It is an angel’s duty to maintain his domain, and to keep God briefed on all of the important matters that involve the domain they are assigned to care for.

Order in heaven does have to be maintained, so there does have to be some waiting line at the gates. No soul likes to be kept waiting too long though, not even for heaven. You don’t have a choice about where you will spend eternity, or what God you spend it with, so when we hear of the longer lines at the gates of heaven, let’s agree that a plan should be forthcoming.

It is the responsibility of the angel Doubt to manage doubt in heaven, and to monitor the degree of doubt in the world, so that it could be kept within acceptable limits. It was doubt among mankind that was leading to the longer lines at the gates. Doubt among men was spreading and leading to increasing conditions of oblivion, and that was the root cause of the current situation that concerned both God and the angel Doubt.

Angel Doubt had decided to be honest and straightforward with God, and to fully accept the weight of responsibility upon his own shoulders. He would ask God for assertive action to remove just the right amount of doubt from the world, so that the waiting time to get into heaven was adequately maintained.

A little doubt in the world is necessary, and a safe measure is good, but too much doubt in the world always ends up causing a variety of problems. In this case, the concern was the lengthening waiting lines at the entrance to eternity.

Angel Doubt was here now, in front of God to report that he had narrowed down the possibilities to that one condition that souls were facing at heaven’s gates, and the one experience that was resulting in the hold up. There were too many oblivious souls arriving in heaven, and it was these oblivious souls who were coming apart at the gates.

It seems like it is always just a matter of time before mankind begins to loose sight of the Supreme Being, and eternity’s side of the complete universe. Then doubt among men comes back to the forefront of reality, and enables oblivion to assert itself, and the longer lines are back again. Then the waiting multitudes begin complaining, and God listens.

Under all conditions, situations and circumstances, every oblivious soul that falls apart at the gates of heaven gets put back together wholly, and is then able to successfully pass into the light of heaven through the rainbow of creation, and back to eternity. It does take some time, though, to put just one soul back together, and with thousands of souls arriving at the gates every moment and the amount of work involved for each, the resulting waiting times become unnecessarily exaggerated.

It is a complicated process to reassemble a life when it comes apart after suffering through the shock of suddenly knowing. There are many parts to a life, and the parts have to be put back together just right, and in the correct sequence. Yes, there are experts on hand who energetically and competently perform this repair. Though the resulting delay does cause the waiting line to back up farther than would normally be necessary.

The watch angels at the gates end up having to put a stop to the admittance process, and hold up the line while the oblivious soul is painstakingly put back together. When the repair is complete, the admittance process starts back up, and the order of entry into heaven can be resumed, until the next unusual event causes another stoppage.

Above all else, heaven is orderly. You cannot cut in line or disturb the sequence of entry in any way, so don’t consider these as any option for getting into heaven quicker than any of the rest of your generation. Yes, heaven is administered by God and His angels as a bureaucracy, and that bureaucracy exists and functions at the speed of light, so that heaven is a good and speedy place.

The believers in line are so often the first to begin grumbling during the wait. Then it is the mutterings from the faithful that can be heard next. The agnostics and the atheists are the most patient when it comes to the waiting, since they are the most relieved to be there, and have actually been considering the probability of the Supreme Being for most of their lives anyway, even though they don’t readily admit to it, having already drawn their own conclusions.

It is really only the oblivious souls who contribute to the problem that is the focus of this story. The oblivious are those people in life who did not open their hearts to God even a little, and those are the souls that end up suffering the most through the shock of knowing.

Imagine that you lived your life in oblivion, and remained simple and unaware of God’s benevolence in eternity, and then you suddenly pass away. Like all souls, you will arrive at the gates of heaven, because God does not waste what He creates and He does want and claim your soul back. In your passing, your soul moves on without your flesh and bones, and the measurable existence you knew and could understand. The souls that have gone through life living in oblivion are just not ready for the eventuality of moving on out of time.

There is incredible shock in suddenly knowing eternity and heaven and God, if you were not actually expecting it. Hence, the shock in knowing full well overwhelms the poor soul, it comes apart, and the life it held no longer makes any sense.

Imagine the poor life then, suddenly crashing in that instant and breaking apart into pieces, like thin shards of glass, which resembles a broken and shattered mirror, reflecting incoherent rays of mismatched crimson red light in many directions all over the gates of heaven, while the poor soul frantically attempts to gather the precious moments of it’s life, which are now incomplete and unrelated to one another.

Imploding souls are actually quite a spectacle, and it is completely unrespectable to be an onlooker and experience any sense of amusement at the sight. Absolutely no self respecting soul or angel or onlooker should ever take any delight in watching another soul go through a high speed come apart; instead you should mind your business, and keep concentrating on entering into heaven and learning the rules of eternity.

Learning the rules, and being prepared ahead of time will help you get things going smoothly, and that’s the way you’ll like it, so stay focused and avoid observing spectacles that can cause everyone involved a deep and personal moment of embarrassment. After all, in case you meet them later on, how do you casually mention to a poor soul that you were there when they fell apart at the gates?

The imploded and incomplete life now has earned the privilege of having to be put back together with its soul while it holds up the line, and only because it did not open its heart to God even just a little bit while it was still alive. It is easier not to live in unknowing, and that way you won’t risk holding up the line and contributing to the angel Doubt’s statistics, and the Lord’s worries over the unnecessarily longer lines.

It is the oblivious souls that suffer in suddenly knowing the reality that they are dead, and that God and heaven are real, and they are next in line at heaven’s gates; and that’s when everything goes wrong and the realities of time and eternity meet one another in delays.

It’s mostly not unpleasant at the gates, and most first reactions are really positive and welcoming including common responses like happiness, consumptive laughter, comprehensive compassion, great gratification. All of these emotions help to spread joy and love when it is most needed, and assists every other soul passing from time into eternity with you. Yes, you do get to experience and share emotions in eternity. The kingdom of light thrives thanks to emotions, and that’s the reason it is called heaven. Heaven does not contain everything that life can deliver though. There is great disappointment easily found during the struggle of life. There is also great happiness and success that is found through careful planning and hard work. There are also mysteries in life that deliver miracles that cannot be found in eternity. Eternity, though, is perfection for those things that eternity has dominion over. And, since eternity is everything, it is perfection; it just does not contain flesh.

Granted, it’s a big event getting into heaven and the uneasy souls are in abundance. Absolutely nobody expects for it to be as easy as it is, but hey, it’s been going on since man gained being, thanks to God.

Many arriving beings keep looking for and expecting tricks around every corner, like it’s a game show ready to cheat you out of your one and only shot at getting into the lighted kingdom. No, it is not at all a hassle to get into heaven when things are running smoothly, which is most of the time. There is no hidden trap door ready and waiting to send you someplace you do not want to go. So relax, but do be prepared, and yes, just a little bit of advanced knowing will keep your being intact. That’s all it takes, keeping it together and keeping the line running smoothly.

If buy in were just that easy, this story could be really short, and not very detailed. Details will help make the real situation understandable for you, so I will provide as many as I can, but still make this quick. You have a lot of living to do, so pondering eternity should be kept simple and really be the last of your worries. That’s God’s plan, so you keep it simple, and you keep God happy. He likes to be happy, and heaven is warm and glows when He is happy.

Sometime during this story, I will describe for you exactly how heaven is situated in your complete universe, in case you ever wonder, and have had a hard time imagining it, or have had difficulty trying to figure it out, which most human beings have a tendency to do.

This story is not intended to be only about death and eternity. It’s also about the needs of the world of time and of eternity’s needs from the world of time. The story also concerns events within creation that can
