I have always fathomed myself rising from my body, and going up into the heavens, but just as Michael said, heaven is here. We have all been told this, however, it has been hard to hear because many of us have been told that we must die in order to go to heaven. It was been written centuries ago. Michael merely presented it in a way that we all could hear.


 Michael Jackson was more amazing than many know. It is critical that we listen to him with depth, he is not giving us shallow messages at all. Heaven really and truly is here, and I hope to show that. So, let’s look first at a biblical point of view. As you read, I implore you to consider what you have heard Michael say, and think of what you have seen him do. Michael comes close to doing everything that Jesus does.


Matthew10:6-9 And as ye go, preach, saying, the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. 9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,


None of us could ever say that Michael did not give freely. Has he healed the sick? Yes. We have seen the evidence. . As for us, we have been changed.  Notwithstanding, many of us have found that we have talent within us that had been buried for years by negativism and fear. Everyone has talent. It is a gift from God…and it is one of value. Michael never ceased to create and build on the talent that God gave him. The following scripture tells the origin of talent and how it should be used.



 Matthew 25:14-18 (AKJV):14 for the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. 16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. 17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. 18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money. (To find out what happened, I suggest that you read the entire verse. Matt: 25:14-40 (pretty long!)


Moving on, what does ‘at hand’ mean? It means it is within your reach. It is not some distant thing that we must first die to see. We are already here, it is within our reach, not after we die, but now, Heaven is at hand, heaven is here. Certainly the question could be asked, why we have been praying “Thy kingdom come?” That follows with “on earth, as it is in heaven.”


Consider replacing the word ‘as’ with ‘because’. It is not complicated as we do it all the time.(see what I mean?) Here is an example; “She went shopping, as she had no food”. So what that scripture really means is, ‘on earth because it is in heaven’. We must at some point discuss Michael’s concern for the earth. Following, I quoted from Archbishop Williams, as he clarifies the matter well. However, other clergy say the same.


Archbishop Rowan Williams:
“The idea of the kingdom coming was very near the center of Jesus'teaching. And the kingdom is not a   place  or  a  system  –  it’s just  a  state  of  affairs when  God  really is  acknowledged to be directing and giving meaning to everything. It’s the kingship of   God, if you like.


 ‘So  we  pray  ‘Thy Kingdom come’,  meaning  let  God’s  will  and  purpose  and  God’s nature show through in every state of affairs, because that’s what it is for God to be king. It’s not asking for God to be ordering everyone and everything around but for God in his glory to be visible everywhere.


‘Thy kingdom come is saying let the world open out to the depth of God’s love…which is really at the root of it all. Jesus  himself  tells  us  that  the  kingdom  comes  in  unexpected  ways,  it doesn't just come with an unexpected clap of thunder at the end of time, it grows in our midst secretly…It  comes  through  in  quirky  little  moments  when  people  do  extraordinary  things, take  extraordinary  risks  and  you  think,  ‘Yes,  that’s  a life in which  God is  showing.  Jesus’  parables  tell  us  about  people  who  give  up  everything  because  they  catch  a glimpse of the kingdom,  they catch a glimpse of God’s beauty. So that’s what we’re praying for; let the world show God, let God come through." (http://goo.gl/zt2ZJd)



We will take another look at Michael’s piece. “Heaven is Here” We have to look at it again because it truly does unite the spiritual and the physical. They are not separate. It is beautifully written, but it is more than a poem. Let’s read/watch with depth Michael’s “Heaven is here”, then let’s look at it all from a scientific point of view.
heaven IS HERE

You and I were never separate
It's just an illusion
Wrought by the magical lens of
Perception

There is only one Wholeness
Only one Mind
We are like ripples
In the vast Ocean of Consciousness

Come, let us dance
The Dance of Creation
Let us celebrate
The Joy of Life

The birds, the bees
The infinite galaxies
Rivers, Mountains
Clouds and Valleys
Are all a pulsating pattern
Living, breathing
Alive with cosmic energy

Full of Life, of Joy
This Universe of Mine
Don't be afraid

To know who you are
You are much more
Than you ever imagined

You are the Sun
You are the Moon
You are the wildflower in bloom
You are the Life-throb
That pulsates, dances
From a speck of dust
To the most distant star

And you and I
Were never separate
It's just an illusion
Wrought by the magical lens of
Perception

Let us celebrate
The Joy of Life
Let us dance
The Dance of Creation

Curving back within ourselves
We create
Again and again
Endless cycles come and go
We rejoice
In the infinitude of Time

There never was a time
When I was not
Or you were not
There never will be a time
When we will cease to be

Infinite — Unbounded
In the Ocean of Consciousness
We are like ripples
In the Sea of Bliss

You and I were never separate
It's just an illusion
Wrought by the magical lens of
Perception

Heaven is Here
Right now is the moment
of Eternity
Don't fool yourself
Reclaim your Bliss

Once you were lost
But now you're home
In a nonlocal Universe
There is nowhere to go
From Here to Here
Is the Unbounded
Ocean of Consciousness
We are like ripples
In the Sea of Bliss

Come, let us dance
The Dance of Creation
Let us celebrate
The Joy of Life

And
You and I were never separate
It's just an illusion
Wrought by the magical lens of
Perception

Heaven is Here
Right now, this moment of Eternity
Don't fool yourself
Reclaim your Bliss
 We will be guided by Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson to view the scientific aspects of it all. Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson is an astrophysicist. Tyson's professional research interests are broad, but include star formation, exploding stars, dwarf galaxies, and the structure of our Milky Way.




“Recognize that the very molecules that make up your body, the atoms that construct the molecules, are traceable to the crucibles that were once the centers of high mass stars that exploded their chemically rich guts into the galaxy, enriching pristine gas clouds with the chemistry of life. So that we are all connected to each other biologically, to the earth chemically and to the rest of the universe atomically. That’s kind of cool! That makes me smile and I actually feel quite large at the end of that. It’s not that we are better than the universe, we are part of the universe. We are in the universe and the universe is in us.”
― Neil deGrasse Tyson

I believe they are saying the very same thing. They are both saying heaven is here, and they are saying 'we are one'.
The only difference is Dr. Tyson does not acknowledge it spiritually. Michael says we are the sun, the moon and the wild flowers in bloom. Dr Tyson says we are stardust. Although he claims not to believe in God, he speaks of the universe as though it is God. He actually testifies that he was called by the universe to be an astrophysicist He actually is speaking of being enlightened, and confesses that the universe fills his spirit just as concept of God fills the spirit of those who believe in God.


 Dr. Tyson has claimed himself to be an atheist, and then an agnostic. Despite all his brilliance he has to confess that the most acclaimed scientists to ever exist, concluded that God was the creator of the universe. He is very keen on ‘The big bang theory’. What no one has acknowledged is that the big bang theory is all through the bible as well. It could actually be that the world started with a big bang. However, the same big bang that the bible says ends the world, is perhaps the same explosion that begins the world. Thus he may not be completely wrong. The scientific view of creation is not much different than the biblical one.



Here is another look at the scientific view; “The knowledge that the atoms that comprise life on earth - the atoms that make up the human body, are traceable to the crucibles that cooked light elements into heavy elements in their core under extreme temperatures and pressures. These stars- the high mass ones among them- went unstable in their later years- they collapsed and then exploded- scattering their enriched guts across the galaxy- guts made of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and all the fundamental ingredients of life itself. These ingredients become part of gas clouds that condense, collapse, form the next generation of solar systems- stars with orbiting planets. And those planets now have the ingredients for life itself. So that when I look up at the night sky, and I know that yes we are part of this universe, we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the universe is in us. When I reflect on that fact, I look up- many people feel small, because their small and the universe is big. But I feel big because my atoms came from those stars.”
― Neil deGrasse Tyson


“What does the Bible say about the end of the world? The event usually referred to as “the end of the world” is described in 2 Peter 3:10: “The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.” This is the culmination of a series of events called “the day of the Lord,” the time when God will intervene in human history for the purpose of judgment. At that time, all that God has created, “the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1), He will destroy.”


“First, it will be cataclysmic in scope. The “heavens” refers to the physical universe – the stars, planets, and galaxies—which will be consumed by some kind of tremendous explosion, possibly a nuclear or atomic reaction that will consume and obliterate all matter as we know it. All the elements that make up the universe will be melted in the “fervent heat” (2 Peter 3:12). This will also be a noisy event, described in different Bible versions as a “roar” (NIV), a “great noise” (KJV), a “loud noise” (CEV), and a “thunderous crash” (AMP). There will be no doubt as to what is happening. Everyone will see and hear it because we are also told that “the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.” http://www.gotquestions.org/end-of-the-world.html



Interestingly enough. We see ‘The New Jerusalem”. Created immediately after the ‘biblical big bang takes place’. In effect, the world …a new world is created by the big bang theory. This last video is for an understanding of how this knowledge was attained. Despite all that scientist had done, they ultimately came to believe in God as the creator of the universe. In this talk Dr. Tyson says that the most knowledge that exists came from Islam. What he doesn't mention is that now, they are killing each other over God. That of course is another topic. My purpose was to show that heaven actually is here, no matter how you shake it. We are on a planet, in the universe (the heavens) and the universe is in us. We are one. We were never separate. This final video is incredible.
