Jesus calledrepparttar afterlife “heaven.” He said that it’s “at hand” (Matthew 4:17). He also said that it’s “within” (Luke 17:21). He called it “paradise.” Jesus toldrepparttar 129019 dying thief onrepparttar 129020 cross that he would be with Him in paradise today (Luke 23:43). That clearly indicates that there is no waiting period between life andrepparttar 129021 afterlife. Your loved one is in heaven, or paradise, right now. And that paradise is “at hand” and “within you.”

The New Testament says that we have a natural body and a spiritual body (1 Corinthians 15:44). It says thatrepparttar 129022 things we can see are temporary, butrepparttar 129023 things we cannot see are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18). Jesus referred torepparttar 129024 spiritual body when He said that people who live in Him and believe in Him would never die but have everlasting life.

As forrepparttar 129025 logical culmination of evolution, logic requires that there be an afterlife. Nature naturally selectsrepparttar 129026 characteristics of living creatures. Qualities that insure survival are chosen over other qualities. If life ends atrepparttar 129027 grave, why have humans evolved so many qualities that they have little or no use for on earth? Altruism, charity, honor, patience, fidelity, etc. have little value in a society where materialism, war, and self-interest prevail.

Humility and service do not generate financial gain orrepparttar 129028 acquisition of power. They are a handicap, if anything. Yet, they persist as character traits inrepparttar 129029 majority of people. Man is driven more by abstractions like love, loyalty, accomplishment, curiosity and discovery than by simple biological directives. Why?

An unborn child develops arms, legs, eyes, and lungs because it will need them to function inrepparttar 129030 world into which it will be born. Man develops compassion, devotion, generosity, hope, understanding, and trustworthiness (to name but a few) because he will need them to function inrepparttar 129031 world into which he will be born when he leavesrepparttar 129032 physical body.

And inrepparttar 129033 same way that an unborn child is not separate fromrepparttar 129034 world of his family, we are not separate fromrepparttar 129035 loved ones that have passed throughrepparttar 129036 veil.

And what ifrepparttar 129037 quantum physicists are right? What if we really do live in a world with multiple dimensions…a holographic world? The mystics andrepparttar 129038 prophets have insisted that this world is an illusion for millennia. A holographic universe would mean that our bodies, our houses, our cities, and evenrepparttar 129039 stars above us are a mirage. Those dimensions are all around us asrepparttar 129040 physicists are discovering, and those dimensions really do influence our world. What if other dimensions arerepparttar 129041 “mansions” that Jesus referred to?

Your loved one is still here with you. He’s part of a dimension that you cannot perceive—yet. You are a spiritual creature having a human experience. You have spiritual senses that you can use to communicate with and become aware of your loved ones in heaven. It’s done through focused prayer and meditation. In Matthew 5:4 Jesus said, “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” That’s His promise. Believe it. Experience it.
