A VISION OF HEAVEN ON EARTH
...Some of the details of what the New Man and Heaven on Earth will be like . . .
Subjectively, the New Man and Heaven on Earth are endowed with bliss 24 hours a day, and this will be spreading gradually to everyone. Objectively, it is perfect health, long life, affluence, and all good conditions for everyone. So, besides world peace, another of the obvious prerequisites for Heaven on Earth to be real, is the removal of poverty in the world.
Economics is now more of the main issue than ever before, because the world has so much poverty. And removed it will be . . . just watch. Abundant prosperity will exponentially multiply everywhere. Further advanced technologies from Enlightened sources will be released, resulting in unprecedented universal providence and progress. This will even include the total reconstruction of all the world's cities, towns, and villages.
The New Man and Heaven on Earth on the individual level will be privileged with perfect health, long life in bliss, and the ability to easily fulfill all one's desires. People will embody the best of Zorba -- symbol of worldly pleasures of the senses; and the best of Buddha -- symbol of higher consciousness, spirituality, and Enlightenment. Zorba the Buddha will be a harmonious synthesis in all people -- the New Man.
Heaven on Earth on the collective level will be endowed with an indomitable influence of positivity, harmony, and peace on all levels of collective life -- family, community, nation, and the world.
HEALTH: Everyone will enjoy a long life in perfect health, and prevention of disease will be so effective that cures will hardly ever even be needed. It will be a disease-free world where every individual will enjoy total well-being on all levels of body, mind, and spirit.
EDUCATION: Everyone will enjoy ease and simplicity of gaining full Enlightenment without long time or effort. Education will readily deliver the fruit of all knowledge to everyone without having to study all knowledge.
ECONOMY: Heaven on Earth will be blessed with the global experience of fulfillment and self-sufficiency, the lack of craving for wealth, fully enjoying everything, free and unlimited access to worldwide transportation and communications, and satisfaction of desires without struggle. Wealth will no longer be a symbol of status, since everyone will have it. Everyone will have more than enough of everything and live in bliss 24 hours a day, with the full support of natural law.
Success will be through doing less and accomplishing more, and ultimately doing nothing and accomplishing everything. Affluence and abundance will always be available everywhere, and every individual will have economic freedom. (See the chapter on "The Dawn of Golden Age Prosperity").
GOVERNMENT: All governments will be substantially reduced in size and force, and will become true servants of the people. They will just serve a function, rather than "rule". Their domination and exploitation will have come to an end. They will instead serve to satisfy, whether they be communist, capitalist, democratic, monarchic, or whatever. Fulfillment will come to every system. All governments will function as effortlessly as the government of Natural Law, which administers the entire universe with perfect orderliness, and without a noise.
Then, as world consciousness matures and rises further, outer governments will diminish and dissolve altogether. People will be totally in sovereignty consciousness, governing themselves from within, in complete freedom.
LAW: There will be a lack of need for enforcement.
REHABILITATION: There will be a lack of need for rehabilitation.
DEFENSE: No need. Those presently employed in the armed forces will be given their choice of jobs in creatively improving society.
AGRICULTURE: There will be perfect balance in nature. The seasons will come in time, there will be ideal weather, maximum productivity of the seed and soil, and new, enlightened technologies for food and diet. Attunement with natural law and the resultant support of nature will prevail.
RELIGION: Some organized religions as such will have totally dissolved, and others will have greatly softened to become far more fluid, flexible, open, and universal. Religion as a collection of separated institutions will disappear, and be replaced by a global atmosphere of freedom and for the first time genuine religiousness as a natural quality, as has never before been experienced on a worldwide basis.
People will enjoy the immediate fulfillment of their prayers by mere intention, and prayer will evolve into more of a state of thankfulness all the time, rather than the petition or begging that people did in the past. Everyone will finally know there is no God "up there", other than their own Divine center of consciousness, other than the godliness that pervades existence; the Love that unifies existence; the Intelligence that shines in every being. Everyone will spontaneously radiate the grace of this godliness in his or her daily life.
SCIENCE: Scientists will no longer work in the service of death and destruction. They will be supported to enjoy inexhaustible creativity, in the service of making life more pleasant, more enriched for all beings. They will attain the supreme fulfillment of the quest for knowledge by directly living the fruit of all knowledge. Tremendous expanses of new horizons will be revealed and discovered, and all the wonders and treasures will unfold endlessly. The whole purpose of gaining knowledge will be fulfilled without having to go through the old trial-and-error experimental path of gaining knowledge.
ART: The fullness of life will spontaneously blossom in every expression. Every expression will be beautiful and blissful. The arts will be purified to such a point that they will serve as windows into the highest experiences in relative existence.
CULTURE: The whole population will spontaneously live in tune with the natural laws of the geographic and climatic conditions where they live, resulting in cultural uniqueness, harmony, integrity, purity, strength, friendliness, and fulfillment. The whole world family will be a beautiful mosaic of different cultures, and civilization will be truly global for the first time in history enjoying an endlessly evolving perfection.
LIFE: Balance will exist on all levels of life -- spiritual, intellectual, physical, material, environmental, and cosmic. Self-sufficiency will unfold in every person, with the ability to know anything, do anything, and accomplish anything. All good will exist everywhere and non-good will be nowhere. The field of all possibilities will prevail and the full sunshine of the Age of Enlightenment will continue everywhere and always.
Scriptures from every religion and records from every cultural and philosophical tradition have prophecies of this Heaven on Earth that is arriving.
Only one of the many examples is reprinted here from the Judeo-Christian tradition:
"For behold, I create new heavens and a new Earth; and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for behold, I create a rejoicing, and all people a joy. I will rejoice and be glad in all people; no more shall be heard in them the sound of weeping and the cry of distress. No more shall there be in them an infant that lives but a few days, or an old man who does not fill out his days. They shall not labor in vain, or bear children for calamity; for they shall be the offspring of the blessed of the Lord, and their children with them. Before they call I shall answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear. The wolf and the lamb will feed together, the lion will eat straw like the ox, and dust will be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy worlds, says the Lord."
-- from the Bible, Isaiah 65:17-25.
