Stairlift to Heaven

The well known Bible scholar and philosopher Belinda Carlisle observed in 1987 that:

They say in Heaven, love comes first

We’ll make Heaven a place on Earth

Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth

It turns out that Hell is a place on earth too. When Jesus talked about hell, his warnings in the Sermon on the Mount: anyone who calls another a fool, or who allows their right eye or hand to sin, will be cast into “hell” (Matthew 5:22, 29-30). But these passages are not actually referring to “hell.” The word Jesus uses is “Gehenna.” Which is not a place of eternal torment but a notorious valley burial site just outside the walls of Jerusalem where ancient Israelites practiced child sacrifice to foreign gods. Which makes Jonh Lennon and Imagine right too.

A man goes to Heaven and meets Jesus.

While Jesus is showing him round, he spots a broken clock.

“What’s that there for?” he asks.

Jesus says “that’s Mother Teresa’s clock it has never moved because she has never lied.”

“Just over here is Abraham Lincoln’s clock. He lied twice, so it has moved twice.”

“Where is Boris’s clock?” asks the man.

Jesus answers: “It’s in my office, I’m using it as a ceiling fan.”

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
