it's a childish belief that Heaven is 'a far-away #Menagerie' (the WRONGness--shared by @MySundayMass etc.--that almost turns me Atheist!)

That ticks me off.

I'll explain why & how; but first ...

The word |Menagerie| (a Space for Holding Wild Animals) is built on ancient words that mean "Household."

on which are also-built #Menageries #Menage

People (including my own friends & family) with dead relatives insist that those relatives are "in Heaven"---many Christians use it as a euphemism to describe the deceased ... i.e. today Heart of the Nation prayed for 'all fathers, even those now living in Heaven.'

But that is a lie from Satan---who wants you to think that Heaven is somewhere far away.

The truth is found in Buddhism, which tells us that Heaven is 'one of the lenses the Awakened Mind can use to see its current environ.' So--if I continue to hear-&-say that deceased loved-ones are "in Heaven"--I will remember that this just means WE only think of them 'in our Heaven-lens'

(i.e. We won't recite the long lists of their failings and sins without remembering a) how our loved-ones reformed their bad ways and improved their world, and b) all the good things they did besides ... as one might interpret the Buddhists' Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo, 'The divinely-intended manifestations outlast- & destroy the corrupt.')
