Heaven on Earth

Heaven on Earth for me is the fact that I, Michael James Liesveld, without any influence from any outside source, using my free will, can enjoy the beauty around me knowing full well, what that beauty represents, and surmising from my limited knowledge how it came into being. I am my own person. I think, therefore I am a living conscious entity with the full ability to reason and love as I wish. I use reason to guide my emotions and am happy because I use reason as a guide. When I have a problem, it is because I caused it in some small or large way. I accept full responsibility for my actions and do not blame anyone or anything for my failures or successes. Reality will let me know if I how I reason is in tune or not. I read books for enjoyment and knowledge so that life is not just experience driven. My mind creates a symbiotic existence with the rest of life in the universe. To the extent that I flow with life, I am in tune with it. If I get stuck in one moment for too long, life knocks me around until I either wake up or die as a result of being stuck. Because I think things out before I act and I can define the reason why I act in such a way, my life is as smooth as I can possibly make it. In that way, I am the creator of my own life and do not need or want to wait for something better to come along. If I see something I want, I go after it, with passion. The only hesitation I use as a guide is Live and Let Live. I ask no quarter and give none. I am not a whiner. I live as I choose to live. I am a no limit being in the confines of a human body. I act, using reason as a guide. I do not react using religion as an excuse for not being a happy person in this life. I did not sin to get here on earth. The only sin on earth is to let religion take over my ability to think and reason and love as I choose to. I am a moral person that does things for the reasons I use logic to come up with. I am not moral because of religious convenience one day and immoral the next because I am not at church that day. I have no need or want to tell a priest about my life so that he can tell me I have sinned according to his doctrine. I am a spiritual person by my own definition of that word. I enjoy life on earth as heaven because I have the free will to make it so.
