WHYEVENWONDER?
We all have wondered…is there a life after death? Is there a place where we all go when we die?Is there a heavenly home where we will meet our loved ones and where we will reside for alleternity?It is not a modern thought. A yearning for Heaven goes back to the beginning of recorded time.Many religions and religious philosophies have dealt with this issue. Not all agree on the details.Yet over the years the idea of Heaven (or whatever name is given) as a state of existence that isdifferent from the one we know still endures.But that does not prove that it exists. It only shows that we would like it to exist. Is there a wayto show that Heaven actually exists?This book will deal with that issue. It is not a religious book. There is no agenda here. This issimply an inquiry into an age-old question. You will not find your religious beliefs challengedhere. That is not my intention. You may believe whatever you like and should close this book unchanged. If you find it convincing however, you will close this book reassured that many of the questions you had wondered about have a reasonable answer.Why even wonder if Heaven exists? Won’t we find out one-way or another soon enough? Theidea of Heaven, as it turns out, contains answers to a variety of other questions and that’s why itis important. Indeed contained within the concept of a heavenly abode after life on Earth areanswers to a large number of profound questions that can’t be addressed as successfully any other way. In other words if Heaven exists, it is a very useful idea and one which provides many other answersIf you have ever wondered why evil exists or if there is a purpose to life or if there is a reason for suffering and pain, you will find that these questions can be answered. If you have ever angrilythought that your life is particularly painful and unfair, if you have wondered why you have beenselected for the difficult life you lead, if you have questioned the fairness of the world, you willfind an answer in the concept of Heaven. If you have suffered a loss and wondered why, or if youhave had great luck and wondered why, you will gain a new insight that can ease your mind.I find that just by starting with the assumption that a place like Heaven exists makes it possiblefor a wide variety of answers to become clear. Whenever one idea leads to answers for so manyothers you begin to wonder if perhaps there is significant power in your assumption. In other words when one idea leads to answers for so many others, some of which are quite profound andcomforting, you begin to imagine that you are onto something.But then isn’t that as it should be? If there is a Heaven it should contain all the answers to anyquestion you might have. And as it turns out…it does.Stuart J Kamille2010
