Does Everyone Go to Heaven?

I say they do. I didn't used to, but after attending a workshop a few years back and the facilitator opening up with the line "How would you feel if I told you that Adolph Hitler was in heaven?" Followed by the collective gasp of dismay around the room then her very simple explanation. Or maybe not so simple. but it resonated with me.

She went on to ask us if we had ever heard the term "seventh heaven" and of course, most everyone had. She explained that heaven is made up of seven dimensions and that really bad people go to the very lowest dimension. To think about what they have done and reflect upon their evil ways before their soul is eventually sent back to the human dimension where they will need to atone or learn their lessons. And that only those souls who have reached the level of highest consciousness or who have become as close to being perfect as possible will reach the highest level of heaven. I sure liked her explanation a lot better than thinking that there was this fiery place in the center of the earth where bad people are burning for eternity.

See, this is why I decided to follow my own path spiritually. Notice that I didn't use the term religion. Religion to me, as I've stated many times, is a constraint created by man to satisfy his need to control a group of people and make them fear what will happen to them if they don't toe the imaginary line set for them. I mean, how do so many religions exist with so many names for God/Divine/Creator or even Heaven/Eternity/Paradise? It never made sense to me. Everyone can't be right and everyone can't be wrong. Besides, there are bad people who go to church every Sunday and pretend to be perfect and righteous while doing things they know damned well are wrong. And there are good people who have never set foot in a church that spend their time doing the right things without being told to do so by some figurehead standing in a pulpit and preaching fire and brimstone.

The bottom line is that our souls are energy. Energy doesn't disappear; it merely goes elsewhere. When we transition out of our human bodies our soul's energy has to go somewhere so why not go to this place called heaven? To rest and reflect on what lessons we have learned while in our human bodies and reunite with our soul family. Decide whether we are going to make the trip back here to the human realm and what lessons we are going to learn when we do. Or maybe decide we don't want to come back here at all. Heaven. The place where all souls return regardless of what they might have done while here on earth. And then being given the opportunity to do it all over again only better this time around. Maybe earn the opportunity to go to a better level of heaven.

Maybe this lower level of heaven is a gloomy, dark, quiet place where your soul is alone to reflect and watch a movie of the horrible things you did. And as you go higher and higher in the levels of heaven, you start seeing a place with sunshine and light, music, birds and animals, flowers and butterflies, peace and togetherness. Utopia. And all you have to do is learn your lessons and become a better soul each time you take a trip to the human dimension. Sort of like earning a badge or a pass to a better place.

I don't know everything, I only know what I've learned from my reading and my studies and workshops and studying with those who are wiser than me. Or what my intuition or soul memories have imprinted in my mind. What my spirit guides have shown me when I've not been too stubborn or blocked to pay attention to them. I just know that this is what I've come to believe as my truth. And I would encourage each and every person to follow their path to find their own truth. But for today, my answer is yes, everyone goes to heaven.
