In writing this book I wanted to take some of the key concepts of Get the Most Out of Life to a deeper level. You Don't Have To Die To Go To Heaven explores how we often create a "living hell" in our lives by not being aware of our ongoing thoughts, beliefs, habits and expectations. It also reveals how we can create a heavenly existence, where we experience more inner peace, connection, meaning and contribution, by becoming mindful and aware of our ongoing thoughts, beliefs, habits and expectations. As we become more aware of every thought we have, we naturally become more mindful of each thought's impact on our emotions, our expectations, our relationships with others and our relationship with life itself. Mindfulness is not so common in our society.
Most people in the west today are hurrying through life, rushing from one task to the next, worrying about tomorrow's uncertainties, complaining about this or that, and hoping that tomorrow will somehow be better than today. For thousands of years humanity has been searching for happiness, looking for the path to find meaning and purpose. Throughout history, in every era, philosophers have continued to search for directions for this state of mind called "Heaven on Earth." We all have experienced moments which could be defined as Heaven on Earth. Maybe you found heaven while enjoying a new and exciting sensation; a new taste, a wonderful aroma, an exhilarating touch. Or perhaps you found Heaven on Earth from a peaceful feeling experienced during a sunrise or sunset. To some, the very idea of finding Heaven on Earth may seem more like a fantasy than a possibility; it might be more believable, perhaps, if it (Heaven on Earth) came in the form of a cure-all little blue pill.
You won't find any pills in this book or prescriptions for pills. What you will find are thought provoking ideas and formulas which have the potential to elevate your consciousness to a level from which it becomes possible to rise above your self-imposed limitations into a brand new realm of possibilities…even the possibility of finding Heaven on Earth.
Until we find our own Heaven on Earth, like lost sheep, we will wander through our days with a nagging realization that something is missing. As long as this realization exits there will continue to be a gap between what we intuitively know could be and what actually is. The objective of this book is to remind you how to discover, embrace and develop what could be. This book was written to close the gap! Sincerely,
Derrick Sweet
