The Bridge to Heaven

Jennifer Hotes Season 5 Episode 16

With this video game we call reality getting wild lately, I thought it was a good moment in time to dance on the bridge to Heaven. If near-death-experiencers are right in their accounts, Heaven is our true home, all of us. It is rife with colors, music, and unconditional love.

We need a bit of that chicken soup for the soul right now, don't we?  

Let's channel our inner Led Zepplin and climb the stairway or bridge to Heaven.

Heaven 101

Heaven. Nirvana. Eden. Paradise. Cielo. Valhalla, Zion, On High Empyrean, bliss, Elysian Fields. 

The concept of heaven is shared by cultures across the globe.

In Old English - heofon - meaning "home of God" 

German? Himmel - heaven or sky

Ancient Greeks had a few names for heaven, Elysium, Ouranos (which referred to sky or heaven)

In Hebrew, Shamayim

In Hinduism, Svarga, which is the celestial abode of the gods

I don't accept sponsors and paid advertisers. I choose people, podcasts and authors I believe in to highlight in the ad segment.

That's why I've been shining a spotlight on Derek Condit at Mystical Wares. He is both talented and generous with those gifts. Please give his books a look on the Mystical Wares website.
