We fly

We fly

We fly and separate. Our body flies and the spirit, separates, in the mind to go to God. Sperating in substance there is a chance the animal spirit is our god. God is in every cell and flies like the birds fly through us. Birds fly through us in spirit. We have wings of contemplation and they elevate us. Ascending in life, we grow. In the garden of Adam we grow like trees in the garden of Adam and Eve. Birds fly through the garden. We fly in trees like trees flying. There are animals in our garden barely noticed by the birds. Spirits fly over the trees flying and the birds are in contemplation of the self. We are taken to God this way and exist in memory of the birds. Our spirit, part bird, flies. The seraphim too close to the Sun are bright and we barely see them, they are too close to God. Light and God elevate the spirit. Sun was once established in the sky. The Sun is the centre of the Universe for God and we are the centre of the Universe as though we are the Sun and became its light. Illuminated we stand on Earth for God to see us like the plants in the sunshine, shining on a hot summers day. We only exist in memory of God. 

We fly into the void as if into a mirror. Maybe this describes time and God in reversal of our selves. The world spins on an axis. I feel there is a ring around the Earth like the rings of Saturn and this would perhaps be visible for view from as far away as the planet Saturn. Scientist talk of an elliptical circle the Earth travels on and this would give the planet its tilt or why we slant on an axis. We could be in divine reflection of our self or see each other in the mirror. We are of another world. We see the future and the past in our own reflection almost the same as seeing life and death. Mostly there is a Christian idea that the Earth orbits the Sun. I believe we are traveling forward. We reflect our own light and see as if in reversal. A photograph is an optical illusion. Light curves and causes an optical illusion of outer space. Night might trespass day. We may reflect our own Universe and our self or Earth. The one God we know is our alpha or the delta and we are on the pathway of asteroids.

The elliptical circle we travel on is a circle with a side view and oscillates. If you were to compare the heavenly view of the world or underneath the earth and above in the sky this would describe the heavenly view or what Heaven and Hell, attract. Underneath our elliptical circle, the orbit of Earth as the Earth orbits the Sun spinning on an axis is what we fear or the Hell for want of a better description. The Heaven or what is above the Earth and includes the planets towards the Sun is our heavenly view. The angels and medieval writers of old describe a Paradise in the centre of the Earth or the Sun of the centre of the Universe. The heavenly view could briefly be associated with the equator and what is above or below the equator. The equator is like a mirror and we reflect ourselves. I imagine if the mirror or equator was positioned in our body through the midriff this would describe the attraction and the view. Paradise is found in the heart and the garden has birds fly through us as if through the spirit to God. We have to remember as we change to angel dust and fly off to Heaven, our earthly life and animal spirit. God perhaps has the planet Earth as other planets in the Universe attract various force fields around them and we would attract the pathway of asteroids and meteorites or the water of another Earth. The world spins and we oscillate but were we really meant to be so destructive as we only know death in our hearts or an end. God find us a Paradise.

Trees in the garden of philosophy hold the Paradise of the heart and stars communicate with the cosmos. Jupiter has foliage and feels like another green garden of a planet. Is Jupiter our reflection and another Paradise? As the planets sit out in the cosmos, the universe and stars are the other planets in memory of our-selves, something like the fixed stars but fixed in another time? So many light years away, knowing the planets in our hearts feels similar to knowing dinosaur fossils when we see them in old history museums. Space alien in the knowing of an-alienation; dinosaurs feel as natural as they were our ancestors. We are plants in the garden like potted plants. Growing in the garden like tropical plants needing somewhere for wild tendrils to curl around our planets feel more rock than plant. Wild beasts may have sprung out of the garden and out of the earth as though they were growing like plants in the earth. Garden trees inform the birds as though they flew out of the trees and perhaps God created birds to fly out of an ascension as though out of the magical, pungent, air of a forest. Do birds come from another Universe and simply flew straight into the trees? A Christian pageant of the heart is the tree.

Trees know, they tell you in their leaves. People know and tell you in their hearts. We know because we were of a similar universe. Angels fly through you on their way down from heaven and we walked along the forest floor that day. Trees line the way to heaven and the forest tells you this as you fly through the forest. Birds. Fly. Flying through the forest the birds find ascension and are multicolored. Aware of your presence birds like to perform for you without you in mind. They always appear at the edge of the forest trees. We see the patterns of the sun glimmer with light. Families and species of birds appear to flock like angels. We are birds of another name. You could imagine as your spirit flies on off to heaven we become part tree and as we plant our feet in the earth we grow roots out our toenails. Our limbs grow towards the sky in heaven in the sunshine of the light of ascension. Blowing like leaves in the wind, the spirit takes the leaves somewhere and the water evaporates as though in ascension to God. We become part cosmos when once we were plant. The water remains in the clouds. Trees went walking in the forest and birds followed by wing. We fly.

Our Paradise for God

Our Paradise for God

As the planets are entangled in our psyche like ancient gods of Egypt carried the Sun or the moon on their head we are in a spin with the planets carrying their cycles around with us. We go to an afterlife of the spirit enriched with gold. We are entombed with a hieroglyphics of the history of the Universe. The cycles and planets of the moon and other worth, shower us with information like shooting stars, comets and asteroids, meteorites and divine light of star clusters as though the light is our Heaven in the heavens. Do the spirits who fly to heaven reflect in star clusters? Is that what we see? Planets and cycles of the Universe travel through and, spin. Paradise in the garden for the ancient Egyptians was their afterlife all they lived for was their death. We are in their memory.

Sometimes God will come to you in a dream. Other visions of God are materialized from the projection of a dream, a very ancient belief of the unconscious. The projection of the early realm tied in with emotions takes us to a portrait of ourselves. Our internal life takes us to God to prepare us for death and God takes us unto him in our dreams. We are prepared for death because we are mortal and the immortal. The immortal part of us is God, is the spirit and does take us unto him via the dove in Paradise; a garden unknown to the heart and the garden is the heart. God's divine garden, the Paradise of the heart is death. We are informed of God in a Christian way. Christ is our heart and God takes us to his love. We only reach the paradisiacal garden when we die. When you are born in heaven as with God and all human beings were born in the garden or born with a heart, we were born of Adam. Animals were born of an angel and exist in our garden. Fantastical beasts.

We gallop and then we travel and then we travel with the stars in heaven. We ride and then we gallop forward. Stars follow us in heaven. We are of their star and gallop like the beasts in heaven riding around the heavens in a heavenly way. Star maps and stars in heaven map out our way and we see ourselves, fantastical beasts in Heaven, astrological guides. Our map is reflected down on Earth and we see ourselves. Beasts, stars, animals and all the astrological star signs. We see our elders in the sky. The astrological stars have been there from the beginning of time and how could this be? We see ourselves. The planets of the Universe have been in the sky from the beginning of time but not the beginning. The Universe does rejuvenate itself cyclically but not in a known way that is comprehensible as a logical understanding of chance. Order in chaos is another theory but briefly explains how matter works. There is the chance factor in the Universe as there is our normal earthly life.

All the paintings of medieval Europe describe a certain Heaven and a certain Hell or the end of the world. Literature and Early Christian and Byzantine Orthodox religion would sell a similar story of an Apocalypse and an early religious belief or an afterlife known as our current understanding of Heaven. They were born of an angel, graced artists of God and early religious beliefs from Persian texts, early spiritual beliefs of God, the gods and Ancient Egyptian ideas seem almost futuristic as though a heavenly belief came from outer space. Sometimes you would imagine that perhaps we got it back to front and the Apocalypse came first, where we came from was ourselves but how we got there will be a nightmare, all in a matter of speaking. Matter implodes and so do we. We are born only to die a death, not matter but God. The God part of us or the spirit goes unto God in the heavens. Christian people though, are buried in the first circle of hell and when the end of the world occurs they will rise out of the earth but not in a Christian way just sit up as though in the grave, in fact forced out of the earth with such force they will look like they are walking around amongst the living. The living will be living no more and like the Apocalypse visionaries have forecast there will be people like an Apocalyptic vision of Hell for the damned people, angels and demons will be flying around maybe with wings.

You could imagine somehow between the crossover of time and other species of dinosaurs and humans when we were naked in the garden of God, winged beings existed. As we are taken back to beginning of the world and the beginning of time our spirit bodies naked with no longer the use of clothes in the garden would encounter earlier species and the dinosaurs or smaller winged varieties, flying like birds. Flying with the birds our early descendants perhaps not angels or demons but flying dinosaurs it will be strange to go back amongst them. We are reminded with walking through museums of ancient dinosaur fossils and natural history of the history of our origins and it is strange how familiar they feel. Descending from birds or modern birds in flight of our spirit takes us to God and as we go backwards in time perhaps we will fly off with them our spirits like birds and take flight. In islands that are our home to the birds humans should not be allowed and maybe never existed but only of spirit. Birds fly. In our spirit form we go to God. The chances are we are already birds but God forgot to tell us as we exist in the garden of the heart, our Paradise for God.

Paradise is the garden of the heart

Paradise is the garden of the heart

Seven planets. The souls rose that day. They rose out of the garden. On the second line up of the planets we will no longer exist. Time will go so fast in the reversal. Venus, Mars, Neptune and the moons will be our home. Paradise is the garden and a Hell where we will find Heaven. We are born to appreciate. When we are taken right back to the first man of the world it will only be three hundred years after the existence of the planet. We will be taken right back there to the first garden God created as a memory in the earth and grow out of earth like plants in the garden. Maybe, remain plant in memory of a former god. Plants are our memory and how do we know the other planets are not our former home (Earth). Earth was our former home when we were angels and flew like the birds through the sky. We are of Paradise in the sky.

Paradise in the garden had fantastical animals, dinosaurs and creatures of the Earth, gods. Gods turned monstrous in size and form and shape. Gods roamed the Earth before their earthly creatures did, not seen among the plants. While planets revolved around the Earth informing daily, gods and monsters, creatures, fantastical animals, plants and Earth, the sky shone down with day and night, stars, the Sun and the reflection of the moon, on the waters edge. We were born of the water. Angels flew through with demons, gods and monsters not noticing them, flying by, their angelic presence was only known to God. Are you "informed" by an angel, today? An angel thought so. The Earth gave birth to creatures of fantastical worth and had them fly, land dwelling animals stomp along, run and plod and walk the Earth.  All the gods and animals, angels and beasts of the Earth, united in species and became human. An early human had wings like an angel, we flew like birds in the sky and then, our angel spirit flew to God as we were no longer gods and had a mortal existence. We still have a memory of our former angel wings and fly in spirit through ourselves. Flying we exist for God.

Flying we fly unto ourselves. We are in Paradise. The garden of Paradise and fly with the branches of trees like flying buttresses on churches. The trees. Tree branches. They are trees with branches, churches fly like buttresses supporting them, flying. We fly. Wings on buildings would appear like angels and we fly through the steeple of the church. We exist on the eves of churches as they are in existence. Our spirits fly with them like birds. We need to have the Gothic view, upwardly focused, stretching and elongating as though our bodies were as elongated as doorjamb, sculptures. We stretch our necks and elongate them as though stretching like a giraffe. Eating the fresh food and succulent leaves from the treetops we reach the pinnacle of achievement as though some ascetic studying religion by the sky at night. The religion is the sky and we are the leaves. Stretched and elongated our necks reach up to God. We fly with the spirit.
