It tended to really surprise me, when asking around, how many people there are who don't believe that there is a spiritual realm in existence today. As shocking as it may seem, there were quite a few of them who were also professing Christians. I know all to well, the dark side of the spirit realm but when it comes to people who are telling others that they are followers of Jesus, and in the same breath they say that there is no spirit realm, I find something very wrong with this. God Himself is a spirit and if there is no spirit realm then where is God living? And Heaven, then, must exist somewhere in this physical realm; maybe deep in outer space? I jest, of course. Heaven does not and cannot exist in this physical realm while this earth still remains. The truth is, as I see it, that Heaven exists in the spirit realm, or another plain of existence, or, in a manner of speaking, another dimension. There is a spirit realm existing, even today, and it is accessible to all who will seek it. This realm has two levels; the level of darkness and the level of light. It then becomes possible to access this realm by either seeking darkness (evil) or light (good). There are some people who do not like it when I refer to darkness as evil and I am sorry (or maybe I'm not) but that is just how I see things. And on the other hand, there are those who will be upset as I refer to the level of light as being good. I say the same to them. We all have our own opinions on any given subject and mine comes from extensive study on the topic. I have also noted the result of what people seek, once they have attained it. In my studies, when people have sought after darkness, it never turns out good for them in the long run. There may be a short time when one thinks that he has something but it later turns out that the "something" actually has them.
Heaven also exists in the heart of men, just as it did in the heart of Jesus Christ, and the only way we can ever walk in that same realm, while still here on this earth, is to walk by faith. It is absolutely possible for anyone of us; I speak mainly to Christians, to walk in the same glory and light that Jesus walked in as He ministered on this earth and He did it by placing His total trust and faith in His Heavenly Father. I'm not trying to say that a man can become exactly the same as Jesus, in the sense of being the Savior of the world, but we can make these physical bodies do the same things which Jesus made His physical body do while
