He was mentally communicating and in sync with everyone. There were many of the prophets of the Bible and historical people; there was Jesus, Abraham, Moses, and even Muhammad whom he just read about. He saw his father and some of his deceased acquaintances and relatives. He felt an engulfing love and support from everyone as they surrounded and embraced him. He again looked around for God and though he felt as if he was with God, there was no dominant force, no forceful leader. He somehow knew who everyone was; his thoughts interacted with the entire community, it was like Tapping Into the Mind of God.
Foreword
The goals of most religions are the same, a deserved, appropriate, just finale. As time passes and when people eventually transcend their religious prejudices they will assign equal validity to all religions that promote peace, love and compassion for others. Righteous living determines the continuity and destiny of our soul. Our goal in life should be to acquire knowledge, gather positive experiences and live righteously so that our soul can be a part of, and add to the glory of God.
"Follow the religion that is in your heart", be it Bahaism, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, etc. "Every religion leads to the same divine goal. The three basic principles are: Truth, Simplicity, and Love". ~ Babaji
Pope John Paul described heaven as “neither an abstraction nor a physical place among the clouds, but a blessed community”.
The Pope’s interpretation was based on his insight and intellect and if we continue to build on that premise, religious discord can be subdued and eventually eliminated. In order to give equal weight to all beliefs one has to admit that the ultimate truth is indecipherable by the human mind and can only be divulged to the spirit which also often misinterprets its meaning, hence we have various religions and beliefs.
"The Messengers of God are the principal and the first teachers. Whenever this world becomes dark, and divided in its opinions and indifferent, God will send one of His Holy Messengers...." and "Therefore we must follow and adore the virtues revealed in the Messengers of God whether in Abraham, Moses, Jesus" Muhammad "or other prophets but we must not adhere to and adore the lamp. We must recognize the sun no matter from what dawning-point it may shine forth, be it Mosaic, Abrahamic or any personal point of orientation whatever, for we are lovers of sunlight and not of orientation". ~ Abdu'l-Baha
