A man and his dog were walking down a long road, for a long time, when they came upon a golden gate and a man sitting next to it. The traveler asked where they were. "Heaven" replied the sitting man. As the traveler began to enter he was told the dog could not go in. Knowing his dog would die outside, he chose not to enter with out him. Leaving Heaven, they walked on, coming upon a man leaning against a tree, ten feet from a well. The traveler asked if his dog could have some water. "Of course" said the man against the tree. When they were satisfied and refreshed, the traveler came to the man beside the tree and asked where they were. "Heaven" said the leaning man. "Heaven? No, we just passed Heaven a few hours ago." "No, sir, you did not. That was Hell." said the leaning man... the traveler finally asked, "Does it bother you to have Hell so close, pretending to be Heaven?" "No, it simply weeds out those who would leave their best friends to die.

Good lesson there. I do recall seeing a Twilight Zone rerun on the same storyline...
Words would not be enough to describe the undescribable but one's imagination can only soar so much. I would think that just by 'BEING THERE' one would be in SO MUCH AWE to be in the presence of the MOST SUPREME GOD... that you would not even get distracted by the multi-colored sprectrum of forests, flora and fauna... the trees would be made of transluscent crystalline leaves made of jade... gushing fountains in ponds and waterfalls cascading in their own little corners... and you would seem to be floating a foot above the ground without having to actually walk... your eyes would be transfixed to this bright, shining walled-structure gleaming in gold up ahead on a rise... where you know that your room in one of the mansions awaits you... oh, the sublime Wonder of it all!!!...
...And along the way you begin to recognize some of your loved ones also going in the same direction... yet you remain quietly in awe about the entire experience, touching and grasping each other's hands, listening to the angelic choir singing their welcoming and soothing melodies as you approach closer and closer to the Bright Shining Light...
I dunno... that's one version of it. What's yours??
Peace be with you!

The Baha'i Faith teaches that heaven is "nearness to God" and hell is "thine own self."
