The In Between

[Spoken]
Well, the only hell I know is right here on Earth
You see, we go through our lives making decisions based on our ego’s self-preservation
Not considering the fact that we are already perfect souls
Made imperfect by the conditioning that envelopes us
A world which contains both heaven and hell
It’s up to us to decide if we succumb to the will of our egoic minds
We will slowly but surely sink into a depression from which we cannot be rested
This, my friends, is the hell on Earth
However, if we take a step back, we’d realize that we’d only ship the condition that has now plagued us for quite a long while
So what will you choose?
Will you choose heaven?
Will you choose hell?
But there’s another layer: we can be tricked into thinking that favorable circumstances in this physical world are indeed our heaven
But one day, my friends, these earthly wonders, thrills, and pleasures will fade back into the breeze
We will be left with ourselves, and if we ever (?) of the grasp of our ego
The good will haunt us just as much as the bad
And that heaven is built like a house of cards that will crumble
The real heaven is a healthy indifference
The real heaven is an inner feeling of contentment that permeates all external circumstances
Which leads to a very interesting conclusion:
We have a choice to live here in this peaceful in-between
And will there is no such thing as heaven or hell once we break outside of your mind
Once you break outside of your thoughts, because they are just thoughts
That is what the mind does, the heart beats, the mind thinks
Thinking we’re high, thinking we’re low, reimagining
And if we just stop, we forget about heaven, we forget about hell
Now, it’s Paradiso, do not succumb to the dark power of Apollyon
