The Fantasy light

(edited)

Dan sat with utmost attention listening to the preacher talk about heaven. The discomfort of the wooden chair was no longer his concern as he switched his attention to what heaven looks like. Dan was a very religious man. He had waited for the world to come to an end ever since he heard a preacher talking about the end but then, it seemed as if it wasn't as close as he had thought. However, this message changed his life making him a religious man who loves heavenly talk.

In a flash, his imagination took him to the fantasy of a place he had visualized as heaven. He saw himself standing on a hill and could see a portal that leads to this place he calls home. From the portal came a brightness from the sun and around it were clouds.

Between where he stood and the portal was a body of water which hindered him from crossing to the other side. He stood on the hill and watched from afar, there were too little details of what was happening in the portal. While his fantasy still played, a tap from his neighbor sitting next to him jerked him back to consciousness.
"You seemed carried away and smiling by yourself" he told Dan who looked at him confused at first then smiled realizing how far his fantasy had taken him.

He wasn't sure if the clouds that looked like a portal were what the heavens looked like, but it was a burden on him to read his bible a bit deeper, maybe the fantasy was a revelation of something true.
"I'm fine," he replied. As he stood to leave.

Now I wonder what heaven looks like. I don't think it has a golden look. Not a sign of nature.

Lol, it's possible we have different visualization on how heaven looks like.

Deep religious faith and vivid imagination create a thought-provoking exploration of the concept of heaven, blending fantasy with spiritual reflection.
Beautifully written!

Heaven's reality is our reality, no matter how much we might want to wish it away. I'm happy Dan understands it all.
A beautiful write-up!

Dan is lucky to hear that message. Its a reality beyond our rationality

5E-8 BEE

Yeah, even though difficult to understand, it's a reality that will be made reveal someday

I guess we can hear and see the truth once calm and distance ourselves from the world

0E-8 BEE

Yeah, probably that's why meditation involves being calm

Only knowing what our concept of Heaven looks likes is what spurs us to imagination. No one had ever passed away and returned to explain all so we wonder seeking a deeper meaning of what is already written.

Nice thoughtful story. Thanks for sharing.

That's true. Only the dead knows what lie on the other end. Thank you for your support
