We keep coming face to face with the truth that everything is multifaceted in all aspects. This not only applies to the physical world, it also applies to all thoughts, ideas, concepts, knowledge and beliefs. As both a physical place and a concept, paradise is multifaceted. It exists in multiple places in multiple forms. What paradise represents also has many aspects to it. First of all we go back and apply the basic fundamental key that can assist us in all understandings. This quickly causes us to realize, if something exists in one place, then it also exists in at least one other place, thus if there is a paradise above, there also must be a paradise below. At the barest minimum, this place of Existence we are in is a place of duality. This means there are at least two of everything and/or two aspects to everything.
Now we continue to apply the rest of the fundamental key. If there is a paradise above and below this Earth, then, there also must be a paradise within, on this Earth, due to the parallel “as within, so without.” We now summarize what we have so far:
(a) The entire Earth is a paradise because the entire heaven above and heaven below are two parts to the same paradise. (b) Since there is a paradise outside of humans, then there also must be a paradise inside each of us. Furthermore, this applies to all other animals and all other creations, whether or not we think those creations are alive or contain spirit-soul. Everything contains paradise within it because everything is a temple for the essence of the Creator because all that exists is the One Creator in Many Forms. (c) Because paradise is everywhere, this also means paradise contains heaven and hell, good and bad, love and hate, feminine and masculine and all other forms of the two truths. Paradise does not just mean a place where only good stuff happens. Most religions acknowledge this because most religions indicate everything was terrific in paradise, then there was trouble in paradise. Paradise contains the Pool of Two Truths and we already know one of those pools is the Lake of Fire.
Pair Of Dice
Somewhere along the way, paradise is also connected to the meaning of a “pair of dice.” One possibility is that each dice totals 21, which adds up to 42. Forty-two represents the number of judges in the Hall of Two Truths that All Souls must pass through. Therefore, paradise is the place where the two truths are judged 42 different ways as shown in UC#1445. (AE1 153/163, 201/211, 204/214, 206/216, 318/328), (AE2 704/167-8, 774/238)Para Dise
Ultimately, para leads to peri . Dise leads to divi. Briefly put, paradise means to divide the perimeter of the circle into an infinite number of parts on an as needed basis, starting with a division into two parts. (NG1 519-20/537-8), (NG2 20/28), (BB269/281) Because paradise exists in many forms in many places, there are many descriptions of paradise. One description explains paradise as the universe divided into two parts: one part is the upper half as the heaven of breath and light. The other part is the lower half as the heaven of water and darkness. (NG1 519-20/537-8).Another description of paradise is: an enclosing circle without defining the nature of the space fenced off and ringed round; that may vary indefinitely. In other words, a space with the potential to be fixed and variable in all ways conceivable and inconceivable. (NG2 20/28)
Garden, Circle, Kart
The Universe is a circle enclosure. Garden means enclosure. Paradise, as a garden, is talking about the Universe on a Marco Level and then also about smaller portions of the universe. (BB 378/390), (NG2 28/36, 163/171), (AE2 591/55)Womb & Home
The Universe is the Womb and the Womb is the Round or Oval Circle. Womb is ultimately related to Home, Hem, Ham and Am as the dwelling place and birthplace. All of these describe paradise where good and bad take place. Furthermore “AM” signifies to discover, find out; therefore, the Universe is the AM. The Supreme Being as the “I Am” is the One who is Paradise and whose entirety of self and entirety of life is a discovery process of self, of strengths and weaknesses within self. (BB 386/398, 407/419)Paradise Has Thousands of Names
We already know a handful of names, but we should also include all the names for places of eternal punishment. A small sample of additional names for paradise are Am, Am-Smen (NG2 47/55); Ariyhanna/Arianna , Aru, Aaru, Allu, Canaan, Elysium (NG2 21-22/29-30), (AE2 678/142); Garden of Irem or Arem or Aden (NG2 28/36); Gheden (Eden) (NG2 19/27); Hetep (AE1 384/394); Meru (NG2 32/40); Mesteriu; Nysa (NG2 116/12); Para-tesh, Promised Land, Rome, Serendib (thus Serendipity) (BB 452/467), (AE2 684/148); Ser-en-tep, Tep,Tiba (NG1 519-20/537-8), (NG2 20/28), (AE1 445/455, 475/485)Closing Into The Emerging Side of Twilight
Previous messages about paradise and/or heaven have covered a lot of preliminaries. This allows the next series of messages to be grouped as macro paradise-heavens and macro paradise-heavens further divided. At the same time, this allows the coming messages to take different paths while also taking the same path. This portion of study has been another rabbit hole maze adventure that experience proves is paving the way for continued clarifications, corrections, updates and rememberings. Any person who encounters any information anywhere in any form and takes the approach to seek to understand it, will understand more about something at each stage of the process. As long as the process continues in life in general in all things encountered, the person will continue moving towards more optimal knowledge of self, which includes understanding where did I come from, who am I and why am I here. Most of us have been taught that when we get to heaven we will suddenly know and understand everything (This defeats the need incentive purpose of “leaving” heaven in the first place). As long as we are in this particular heaven called Earth, we are supposed to be maturing in the process of becoming one again in all aspects of self, which includes the extended self. On this paradise-heaven called Earth, we, the human collective, are in the stage where the human collective is improving knowledge of self. The universe commands it. This does not mean the majority of humans will improve. Only those who decide to direct the primary use of their free will towards understanding and truthseeking will be assisted by Aquaria and Kepheus. Be more aware of the truth you already know and seek to understand more about it.Stories in all religions illustrate the importance of choices and decisions. The Supreme Being will not change our minds, because one of the purposes of humans is to exercise more free will than other animals. The Supreme Being of one truth offers us information and opportunity to change our minds. At the same time, the Supreme Being of the other truth offers us information and opportunity to continue as is. This is why it is said, “I will harden Pharaoh's heart .” One part of God, through Moses, was trying to soften Pharaoh's heart. The opposite part of God, through Pharaoh and his advisers, was trying to harden Pharaoh's heart. Pharaoh hardened his own heart by continuing to feed into the wrong information, emotions, choices and decisions, thus Pharaoh doubled down on the energy he was already listening to and hardened his own heart. Do not forget the whole truth that the Supreme Being is everything that exists; therefore the Supreme Being provides information to us in any form needed in any place needed. Furthermore, you'd think, if God was going to influence someone's mind beyond their free will control, it would have been the mind of the very first angel, creature or human who introduced trouble into paradise. It is important to understand what is going on right now while we are on Earth because “as below, so above” tells us the process of acquiring understanding and becoming one again is what is being described in the writings about Amenta. What we are experiencing right now is the same process on this Earth of Time that we will experience in Amenta's Underworld and in the Heaven of Eternity. Each of these three places are a paradise-heaven. We won't get additional understandings anywhere at any time in life unless we are open-minded and work through the processes in each paradise-heaven. However, it is a guaranteed natural fact that if we do not continue to move towards optimal understandings, we will stagnate, then begin moving towards suboptimal understandings.
