Yeah, you're right. An absolutely dreadful place. Worse than Detroit! I don't say this to be judgmental, just an observation. My assessment would be that no matter what technique you give someone, it does not change where their soul stands in this cycle of birth and death. And therefore, the whole plan to create heaven on earth is flawed right from the beginning. The only way you really could have heaven on earth is if you only allowed the birth of enlightened souls to incarnate here. And to me, that's rather elitist thinking. > > seekliberation > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "sparaig" <LEnglish5@> wrote: > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "card" <cardemaister@> wrote: > > > > > > > > This was a fact.
