"I want to ask you this evening a question, which perhaps you will spend the rest of your life on this planet pondering and trying to answer.
"Are you afraid of going to heaven?
"Because if you are not, you are either there and very saintly or you are very arrogant and think you have already got a bus pass to our Creator's future place for us.
"Heaven is not something you can find on the map of the Universe. Heaven is a state of mind in which you live.
"Jesus taught us to strive to find Heaven upon Earth. It is not a distant place. It is a reality in which we exist.
"Now if we are afraid of anything, being late for work in the morning, not having done our homework, what the solicitor is going to say to us.
"Whatever is out there for us, there are things of which we are afraid, because we don't know what the answers are.
"Very often when we go and meet them head on, they are not as bad as we feared, but fear is a dark emotion.
"Fear is negativity and like the darkness it can only be driven out by light and light is love and we are made, each and every one of us, in our Creator's love.
"He has put within us a little piece of himself, which we call perhaps our soul, our mind, our essence, our very being. That is the greatest gift that we will ever receive, because it has given us existence.
"That existence lasts for ever more. We are confined in our earthly mind and we cannot expand it enough to appreciate the vastness of eternity – the vastness of this Universe.
"If you look up on a clear night and you see the stars that go on and on out of sight, because there are so many and they go so far. That is where we live – in that great Universe.
"Heaven is not one of those stars. Heaven is a state in which we exist and live and create for ourselves a future, which will be heavenly if we get it right.
"Therefore I suggest to you that there is every reality within us to be frightened of not achieving that state of mind, either here or in the next world or in the many other lives we will live in other worlds.
"Not reincarnations but steps, you can't get from this earth plane directly on a bus that is going to take you straight to God.
"It's a very long journey and we will have to take it in steps through many lifetimes in many places out in that great Universe in the hope that one day we will make it and we will become a part of that Creative Force who gave us life.
"In order to achieve that, to find this oneness with God ,our Creator, we have to let go of everything that we have.
"Somebody once said, "Don't ever cling on to something that you are not prepared to let go."
"Don't be frightened to loose any of your great possessions, because if you are they will hold you back.
"We all have things which are important to us. We all have things that we wouldn't like to see as a space on the shelf, because they have gone.
"If they are sufficient that we are afraid to loose whatever those things are, then how can we move on?
"How can we attain a heavenly state? How can we be able to help that person across the road, if we are afraid of their reaction to us going up and grabbing them by the arm and saying, "Look, be careful."
"We have to open ourselves into a state of being when we are worthy to be looked upon by the Creator who gave us life and Jesus came down to this Earth to live a life helping other people, with no possessions but his heavenly gifts to show us how to do it.
"He, in his mind, created heaven on Earth and this is where we need to all try and go, if we are going to find that transition out of this body, because the time will come when we will die, because we are born we have to die.
"But that death is only a rebirth into the next place, so I ask you to think about it.
"Are you afraid of going to heaven?
"Let the love come into your minds. Our minds are just a ball of thought and if we keep those thoughts positive, you will rise and will be uplifted. Allowing the fear and the negativity then we fall and we can't do what we know we should do.
"So think about it in those quiet moments and be strong and push fear aside. Ask for help.
"Jesus is with each and every one of us and many in Spirit help us on this difficult journey.
"Thank you. God bless you all."
