i read a story today in a book about group psychotherapy that described a man's imagined tour of heaven and hell...they were two rooms that looked exactly the same....people sitting at a table around an abundant meal each holding really long handled spoons...
in hell the people were starving and despondent, able to reach the pot with their spoons but unable to reach their mouths...
in heaven the people were happy and well fed, joyously enjoying the meal and one another...they had learned to use their spoons to feed one another...
what if heaven and hell aren't dichotomous points on some supernatural map but what happens depending on how we interact with who and what is wherever we are? what if they are just created by what we do with our spoons?
and what if god did not designate these eternal destinations? what if he just created us...and the meal...and the spoons?
