How many people will go to heaven according to the bible. Who will go to Paradise? Metropolitan Anthony of Surozh: Heaven is in love

04.11.2019

Paradise(Gen 2:8, 15:3, Joel 2:3, Luke 23:42,43, 2 Cor 12:4) is a word of Persian origin and means garden. This is the name of the beautiful dwelling of the first man, described in the book. Genesis. Paradise, in which the first people lived, was material for the body, as a visible blissful dwelling, and for the soul - spiritual, as a state of grace-filled communion with God and spiritual contemplation of creatures. Paradise is also the name of that blessed dwelling of the celestials and the righteous, which they inherit after the Terrible Judgment of God.

Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeev): Paradise… Bliss of the soul united with Christ

Paradise is not so much a place as a state of mind; just as hell is suffering resulting from the inability to love and non-participation in the Divine light, so paradise is the bliss of the soul, resulting from an excess of love and light, to which one who is united with Christ fully and completely partakes. This is not contradicted by the fact that paradise is described as a place with various "mansions" and "halls"; all descriptions of paradise are only attempts to express in human language that which is inexpressible and transcends the mind.

In the Bible, "paradise" ( paradeisos) is called the garden where God placed man; the same word in the ancient church tradition called the future bliss of people redeemed and saved by Christ. It is also called the "Kingdom of Heaven", "the life of the age to come", "the eighth day", "new heaven", "heavenly Jerusalem".

The Holy Apostle John the Theologian says: “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the former heaven and the former earth had already passed, and the sea was no more; And I, John, saw the holy city of Jerusalem, new, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, they will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death: neither weeping, nor crying, nor sickness will be anymore, for the former has passed. And He who sits on the throne said: Behold, I create all things new... I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end; to the thirsty one free from the fountain of living water... And he (the angel) lifted me up in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, holy Jerusalem, which descended from heaven from God. He had the glory of God... I did not see a temple in him, for the Lord God Almighty is his temple, and the Lamb. And the city has no need of either the sun or the moon for its illumination; for the glory of God hath illumined him, and his lamp is the Lamb. The saved nations will walk in its light... And nothing unclean will enter into it, and no one given over to abomination and falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life” (Rev. 21:1-6, 10, 22-24, 27 ). This is the earliest description of paradise in Christian literature.

When reading the descriptions of paradise found in hagiographic and theological literature, it must be borne in mind that most of the writers of the Eastern Church speak of paradise, which they saw, into which they were raptured by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Even among our contemporaries who have experienced clinical death, there are people who have been to paradise and told about their experience; in the lives of the saints we find many descriptions of paradise. The Monk Theodora, the Monk Euphrosyne of Suzdal, the Monk Simeon the Divnogorets, Saint Andrew the Holy Fool and some other saints, like the Apostle Paul, were “caught up to the third heaven” (2 Cor. 12:2) and contemplated heavenly bliss.

Here is what St. Andrew (X century) says about paradise: “I saw myself in a beautiful and amazing paradise, and, admiring the spirit, I thought: “what is this? .. how did I find myself here? ..” I saw myself clothed in the most a light robe, as if woven from lightning; a crown was on my head, woven from great flowers, and I was girded with a royal belt. Rejoicing at this beauty, marveling with my mind and heart at the inexpressible beauty of God's paradise, I walked around it and rejoiced. There were many gardens with tall trees: they swayed with their peaks and amused the eyesight, a great fragrance emanated from their branches ... It is impossible to liken those trees to any earthly tree: God's hand, not a human one, planted them. There were countless birds in these gardens ... I saw a great river flowing in the middle (gardens) and filling them. There was a vineyard on the other side of the river... Quiet and fragrant winds breathed there from four sides; gardens swayed from their breath and made a marvelous noise with their leaves ... After that, we entered a wonderful flame, which did not scorch us, but only enlightened us. I began to be horrified, and again the angel who guided me turned to me and gave me his hand, saying: “We must ascend even higher.” With this word, we found ourselves above the third heaven, where I saw and heard a multitude of heavenly powers singing and glorifying God... (Climbing still higher), I saw my Lord, as once Isaiah the prophet, sitting on a high and exalted throne, surrounded by seraphim. He was clothed in a scarlet robe, His face shone with unspeakable light, and He lovingly turned His eyes to me. Seeing Him, I fell before Him on my face… What then, from the sight of His face, embraced me, it is impossible to express, so even now, remembering this vision, I am filled with indescribable sweetness” The Monk Theodora saw in Paradise “beautiful villages and numerous monasteries prepared for those who love God,” and heard “the voice of joy and spiritual gladness.”

In all descriptions of paradise, it is emphasized that earthly words can only to a small extent depict heavenly beauty, since it is “ineffable” and surpasses human comprehension. It also speaks of “many mansions” of paradise (John 14:2), that is, of different degrees of blessedness. “Some (God) will honor with great honors, others with less,” says St. Basil the Great, “because “star differs from star in glory” (1 Cor. 15:41). And since there are “many mansions” with the Father, some will rest in a more excellent and higher state, and others in a lower one. 3 However, for each of his “abode” will be the highest fullness of bliss available to him - in accordance with how close he is to God in earthly life. All the saints in Paradise will see and know each other, but Christ will see and fill everyone, says St. Simeon the New Theologian. In the Kingdom of Heaven, “the righteous will shine like the sun” (Matt. 13:43), become like God (1 John 3:2) and know Him (1 Cor. 13:12). Compared to the beauty and luminosity of paradise, our earth is a “gloomy dungeon,” and the light of the sun, compared to the Trinitarian Light, is like a small candle. 4 Even those heights of contemplation of God, to which the Monk Simeon ascended during his lifetime, in comparison with the future bliss of people in paradise, is the same as the sky drawn with a pencil on paper, in comparison with the real sky.

According to the teachings of St. Simeon, all the images of paradise found in hagiographical literature - fields, forests, rivers, palaces, birds, flowers, etc. - are only symbols of that bliss that lies in the unceasing contemplation of Christ:

You are the Kingdom of Heaven
You are the meek land of all, Christ,
You are my green heaven.
You are my divine palace...
You are the food of all and the bread of life.
You are the moisture of renewal,
You are the life-giving cup
You are the source of living water,
You are the light of all Your saints...
And "many abodes"
Show us what I think
That there will be many degrees
Love and enlightenment
That each to the best of his ability
Achieve contemplation
And the measure is for everyone
It will be greatness, glory,
Peace, pleasure -
Although to varying degrees.
So many chambers
various abodes,
Precious garments...
Various crowns,
And stones and pearls
Fragrant flowers...
All this there is
Just one contemplation
You, Lord God!

St. Gregory of Nyssa spoke of the same thing: “Since in the present age life is spent by us in various and varied ways, there are many things in which we participate, for example, time, air, place, food, drink, clothing, the sun, a lamp, and much more, serving the needs of life, and none of it is God. The expected bliss does not need any of this: all this in return for everything will be for us the nature of God, giving itself in proportion to every need of that life ... God for the worthy is both a place, and a dwelling, and clothing, and food, and drink, and light , and riches, and a kingdom ... He who is in all, He is in all (Col. 3:11) ”. After the general resurrection, Christ will fill with Himself every human soul and all creation, and nothing will remain outside of Christ, but everything will be transformed and radiant, changed and remelted. This is the never-ending "non-evening day" of the Kingdom of God, "eternal joy, eternal Liturgy with God and in God." Everything superfluous, temporary, all unnecessary details of life and being will disappear, and Christ will reign in the souls of the people redeemed by Him and in the transfigured Cosmos. This will be the final victory of Good over evil, Light over darkness, heaven over hell, Christ over Antichrist. This will be the final abolition of death. “Then the word that is written will come true: “Death is swallowed up in victory. Death! Where is your pity? Hell! Where is your victory?..” (Hos. 13:14) Thanks be to God, who gave us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!” (1 Cor. 15:54-57).

Metropolitan Anthony of Surozh: Heaven is in love

Adam lost paradise - that was his sin; Adam lost paradise - this is the horror of his suffering. And God does not condemn; He calls, He supports. In order for us to come to our senses, He puts us in conditions that clearly tell us that we are perishing, we need to be saved. And He remains our Savior, not our Judge. Christ several times in the Gospel says: I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world (Jn.Z.17; 12.47). Until the fullness of time comes, until the end comes, we are under the judgment of our conscience, we are under the judgment of the Divine word, we are under the judgment of the vision of Divine love embodied in Christ - yes. But God does not judge; He prays, He calls, He lives and dies. He descends into the very depths of human hell, so that only we can believe in love and come to our senses, not to forget that there is a paradise.

And heaven was in love; and Adam's sin was that he did not keep love. The question is not in obedience or in listening, but in the fact that God offered all of Himself, without a trace: His being, love, wisdom, knowledge - He gave everything in this union of love, which makes one being out of two (as Christ says about Himself and about the Father: I am in the Father and the Father is in Me [John 14:11], as fire can pierce iron, as heat penetrates to the marrow of bones). And in this love, in inseparable, inseparable union with God, we could be wise with His wisdom, love with all the scope and bottomless depth of His love, know with all Divine knowledge. But the man was warned: do not seek knowledge through eating the fruit from the tree of Good and Evil, - do not seek cold knowledge of the mind, external, alien to love; do not seek knowledge of the flesh, intoxicating and intoxicating, blinding... And this is precisely what man was tempted to do; he wanted to know what is good and what is evil. And he created good and evil, because evil consists in falling away from love. He wanted to know what it is to be and not to be, but he could know this only if he was established forever through love, rooted to the depths of his being in Divine love.

And the man fell; and with him the whole world was shaken; everything, everything was clouded and shaken. And the judgment to which we aspire, that Last Judgment, which will be at the end of time, is also only about love. The parable of the goats and the sheep (Mt. 25:31-46) speaks of precisely this: did you manage to love on earth with a generous, affectionate, courageous, kind love? Have you managed to feel sorry for the hungry, have you managed to feel sorry for the naked, the homeless, have you had the courage to visit a prisoner in prison, have you forgotten the person who is sick, in the hospital, alone? If you have this love, then you have a path to Divine love; but if there is no earthly love, how can you enter into Divine love? If what is given to you by nature, you cannot realize, how can you hope for the supernatural, for the miraculous, for God? ..

And this is the world we live in.

The story of paradise is in some respects, of course, an allegory, because it is a world that has perished, a world to which we have no access; we do not know what it is to be a sinless, innocent creature. And in the language of the fallen world, it is possible only with images, pictures, likenesses to indicate what was and what no one else will ever see or know ... We see how Adam lived - as a friend of God; we see that when Adam matured, reached some degree of wisdom and knowledge through his communion with God, God brought all creatures to him, and Adam gave each creature a name - not a nickname, but the name that expressed the very nature, the very mystery of this creatures.

God, as it were, warned Adam: look, look - you see through the creature, you understand it; because you share My knowledge with Me, since you can share it with your still incomplete maturity, the depths of creation are revealed before you ... And when Adam peered into the whole creation, he did not see himself in it, because, although he was taken from the earth, although he is his flesh and his spiritual being a part of this universe, material and spiritual, but in him there is also a spark from God, the breath of God, which the Lord breathed into him, making him an unprecedented creature - man.

Adam knew he was alone; and God brought a deep sleep upon him, separated a certain part from him, and Eve stood before him. St. John Chrysostom speaks of how in the beginning all possibilities were laid in man, and how gradually, as he matured, both male and female properties, incompatible in one being, began to appear in him. And when he reached maturity, God separated them. And it was not in vain that Adam exclaimed: This is flesh of my flesh, this is bone of my bone! She will be called a wife, because she is, as it were, squeezed out of me ... (Gen. 2:23). Yes; but what did these words mean? They could mean that Adam, looking at Eve, saw that she was bone from his bones, flesh from his flesh, but that she had an originality, that she was a full-fledged being, completely significant, which is connected with the Living God in a unique way, as and he is uniquely connected with Him; or they could mean that he saw in her only a reflection of his own being. This is how we see each other almost constantly; even when love unites us, we so often do not see a person in himself, but see him in relation to ourselves; we look at his face, we peer into his eyes, we listen to his words - and we are looking for an echo of our own being ... It's scary to think that so often we look at each other - and see only our reflection. We do not see another person; it is only a reflection of our being, our existence...

Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin: Paradise - How to enter the Kingdom of Heaven?

Fragment lectures at the Polytechnic Museum as part of the Orthodox Youth Courses organized bySt. Danilov Stauropegial Monastery andChurch of the Holy Martyr Tatiana at Moscow State University M.V. Lomonosov.

The Lord speaks clearly about who exactly will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. First of all, He says that a person who wants to enter this Kingdom must have faith in Him, true faith. The Lord Himself says: "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, and whoever does not believe will be condemned." The Lord predicts the condemnation of people to torment. He does not want this, the Lord is merciful, but He, at the same time, says that people who do not meet a high spiritual and moral ideal will face weeping and gnashing of teeth. We don’t know what heaven will be like, we don’t know what hell will be like, but it is obvious that people who freely choose a life without God, a life that contradicts His commandments, will not be left without a formidable reward, primarily related to the internal state of mind of these people. . I know that there is a hell, I knew people who left this world in the state of ready inhabitants of hell. Some of them, by the way, committed suicide, which I'm not surprised at. They could be told that this was not necessary, because eternal life awaits a person, but they did not want eternal life, they wanted eternal death. People who lost faith in other people and in God, having met God after death, would not have changed. I think that the Lord would offer them His mercy and love. But they will tell Him, "We don't need it." There are already many such people in our earthly world, and I do not think that they will be able to change after crossing the border that separates the earthly world from the world of eternity.

Why must faith be true? When a person wants to communicate with God, he must understand Him as He is, he must address exactly the one to whom he addresses, without imagining God as something or someone that and whom He is not.

Now it is fashionable to say that God is one, but the paths to it are different, and what difference does it make how this or that religion or confession or philosophical school imagines God ─ all the same, God is one. Yes, there is only one God. There are not many gods. But this one God, as Christians believe, is precisely the God who revealed Himself in Jesus Christ and in His Revelation, in the Holy Scriptures. And when we turn instead to God, to someone else, to a being with different characteristics, or to a being without a personality, or to a non-being in general, we do not turn to God. We turn, at best, to something or someone whom we have invented for ourselves, for example, to "god in the soul." And sometimes we can also refer to beings that are different from God and are not God. It can be angels, people, forces of nature, dark forces.

What is paradise? Is it possible to get to heaven? When do people go to heaven? Many people think and talk about this topic. But people don't know exactly what heaven is.

Some take some very beautiful, cozy and calm place for paradise, admiring it, they say about it: “like in paradise”, returning from such a place, they say: “it’s like being in paradise”. Some do not believe at all that there are such worlds as hell or heaven, insist that hell and heaven exist only in the imagination of man. People's understanding can be different.

How are religions taught? What does science say about these worlds? First, let's think about what heaven is in the understanding of religious people. On this occasion, we can say that different religions have different ideas and traditions about paradise. It is only clear that paradise is a very specific place in Heaven, and not just one place. According to various teachings, there are about a hundred such worlds in our galaxy. Each Enlightened One (God) has such a paradise (World, Heavenly Kingdom), in which all his followers live. There are people on earth who have psychic (supernatural) abilities. These abilities enable such people to communicate with living beings of other spaces. Such people tell different stories about heavenly places in Heaven, convey the will of Heaven to people. Some people can understand this, take it to heart. Such people are called teachers, prophets, wise men, people from God.

Passing traditions, predictions, legends, myths and parables from mouth to mouth, people spread the precepts of the sages. As a result of such a transfer, stable concepts of good and evil are formed in different religions and among different peoples. Through these legends, holy people tried to tell people which deeds are good and which are evil, for which deeds people go to heaven, and for which deeds go to hell. In the cultures of some peoples, there are classic novels that tell about various heavenly places. In particular, this applies to the countries of the East: India and China. In Christianity, there are also traditions about paradise.

Be that as it may, in both cultures, both Eastern and Western, the principle of karmic retribution is widespread, meaning that everyone is ultimately responsible for their own actions, depending on which, after the death of the body, the soul falls or heaven or hell. The universe rewards actions that are consistent with the principles: good deeds are rewarded with good, while evil deeds will receive due retribution. Believers of all religions tried to act righteously so that after death a person could go to heaven.

From Japan, a parable came to us about a warrior who wanted to know if there is a heaven and hell. Asking the old sage about the existence of heaven and hell, the warrior got excited when he did not like the sage's answer and showed his desire to use the sword. Then the wise man, pointing to such behavior, said to him: “Here the doors to hell open.” When the warrior understood everything that the teacher wanted to show him, he sheathed his sword and bowed respectfully. “The gates to paradise open here,” the teacher said to the warrior.

The parable of a man who set off on a journey to find paradise clearly tells people at what cost one can get to paradise. He went with a dog. Encountering on the way a gate behind which there were music, flowers, splashing fountains, he asked the gatekeeper who stood guard at the gate what kind of place it was. He replied that there, beyond the gates, is paradise, but you can’t go there with a dog. This man thought: “Since it’s impossible with a dog, then I won’t go there.” He went on, met another gate on the way, less attractive, but there was water and food for him and his dog. He entered and asked what kind of place this was. They answered him: “This is paradise, but only those who do not abandon their friends come here, and those who abandon their friends can stay in hell, mistaking hell for paradise.”

These two simple stories have a deeply embedded meaning about good deeds, about the good heart of a person. Doing a good deed, acting kindly with the people around you, with your friends, you can go to heaven. This is what religions teach.

Christianity conveyed to us its understanding of paradise. Christians know that Jesus has his heavenly kingdom - paradise. Jesus clearly told people how to get there. All those who believe in Jesus know that Jesus, being crucified on the cross and enduring incredible suffering, fulfilled his mission on earth to the end. When a crucified thief is with Jesus, ask him: “Why, Lord, were you crucified? You haven't done anything wrong, have you?" Jesus answered him: “Today you will be with me in the kingdom of heaven. Thus, the sins of this robber were forgiven by Jesus, and he was able to go to heaven only because he thought about God, who was executed for nothing. It is also considered a noble act - to think in any situation about the suffering of another, to be able to sympathize in any situation. And such an act is regarded as the road to paradise.

All religions speak of the existence of the Kingdom of Heaven - paradise, and you can get there only by changing your heart, that is, you need to become a good person, even better than a good person, by improving your soul, changing your character.

In the past, everyone who wanted to improve in religion had to take the veil as a monk or nun and leave the human world. Living in poverty, poverty, wandering, begging - this was the path of Buddhists, Christians and other religious people who improved in the past, walking along the path to God. And all of them, of course, knew that after death they would appear before God in paradise and God would accept them in his heavenly kingdom. It was the road to the paradise of all saints. The ideas of cultivators from various religions were such that in order to get to heaven, one must renounce everything earthly, why not chase, not desire anything, discard all the desires of worldly people.

Everyone wants to go to heaven, but not everyone can part with vital interests, not everyone can discard all those things that they are so used to in their lives. And God helps only those people who live according to the commandments left to people by God, and always in difficult moments of life will take you in his arms and endure through those torments that you yourself are not able to endure. At such moments, a person really feels that he has been to paradise. This is available in the records of scientific studies of near-death experiences.

But how, from a scientific point of view, to explain the desire of a person to go to heaven. Let's analyze: the human body is a microcosm. The entire human body, and not just this body in our human space, consists of molecules, atoms, protons, quarks, neutrinos. Everything is material: our thoughts, our state of mind - everything that surrounds us is matter.

Morality is a state of mind, it is also material and consists of particles smaller and lighter than selfishness or heartlessness. Our body will be light if it consists of smaller particles - such a body rises up, rises above the dirty world of people. He will rise to a pure world in Heaven. Isn't such a place Paradise? Morality is what a person needs to go to heaven. This is proved by our modern science.

How to get to heaven? The sage will always answer your question correctly: "Everything is in your hands!"

How to get to heaven. Part 2

What type of people can be admitted to the world of the Gods? Who will go to heaven?

In the parks of many countries of the world, you can meet groups of people performing smooth, slow qigong exercises to melodious music. These are Falun Gong practitioners doing their daily exercises. They are engaged in self-improvement of both the soul and life. Classes in the parks attract the attention of passers-by with bright posters, gentle music and amazing body movements. Passing by such a platform in one of the parks in Riga, one girl enthusiastically said to her mother: “Mom, look… Jesuses!” Falun Gong practice sites are truly like heaven.

In order to tell people the truth about the Chinese Communist Party's crimes against humanity and encourage people to help stop the persecution, Falun Gong practitioners in 114 countries, wherever they are, organize events to talk about the benefits Falun Gong brings to the individual and society from the other side. expose the crimes of the Chinese Communist Party. The contrast between what people see on the posters and in dramatizations and what Falun Dafa really is is perceived as heaven and hell.

Attending art exhibitions organized by Falun Gong practitioners depicting scenes of hellish torture inflicted by the communist regime in China on Falun Gong practitioners, many are filled with compassion and tears come to their eyes. Pictures depicting torture convey the inner state of the soul of those suffering - this is a steadfast, unshakable faith in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, this is the ascent of their souls to God in paradise.

Heaven and Hell. Compassion. Photo courtesy of minghui.ca Many people seem to be waking up and beginning to realize the evil that is rampant in the human world.

But there is still a lot of indifference. After the criminal harvesting of organs from Falun Gong practitioners in China's secret concentration camps was exposed in the media, people can choose between heaven and hell, between good and evil. The choice must be made by every country, every nation and every person, condemn these crimes, call on the Chinese Communist Party to stop these crimes, allow independent investigators into concentration camps, and release all prisoners of conscience to freedom.

Photo: ANOEK DE GROOT/AFP/Getty Images At present, people who are mainly concerned with the material goods of life do not know everything or simply do not attach importance to the suffering experienced by Jesus and his followers. And those who know, consider it only as historical facts, they do not care about today's reality, many do not believe in either hell or heaven, they do not see the connection with these events. They don't even try to understand this connection.

Heaven and Hell. Demonstration of torture. A dramatization took place in Australia in April 2006. Photo: GREG WOOD/AFP/Getty Images) At a time when belief in a religion (such as Christianity) is widespread and deep in society, it is not difficult to accept and respect it.

However, if a person lives at a time when belief in spiritual practice (Falun Dafa) is just beginning to spread, a person's positive attitude towards it is most valuable. This is what Jesus meant when, carrying his cross to Golgotha, he said to the weeping woman: "Daughter of Jerusalem! Weep not for Me, but weep for yourself and for your children" (Gospel of Luke, 23:28). Jesus warned that posterity would not be able to believe in either hell or heaven.

When God used the four plagues to destroy Rome, when God used fire to destroy the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, when God used the Great Flood to flood the whole earth, people understood the high price paid for moral degradation and indifference. But hundreds of years later, they often treat these warnings as distant historical tales and do not believe in God, do not believe in heaven, do not believe in hell, do not believe in karmic retribution.

So what type of people can be allowed into the world of the Gods? Who will go to heaven?

When Jesus was nailed to the cross, two others were crucified besides him. This story is an analogy in relation to people in this world. When one of the prisoners laughed at Jesus, another said, "He did nothing wrong." And then he turned to Jesus, saying: "Remember me, Lord, when you come into Your Kingdom!" And Jesus answered: "Truly I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise" (Gospel of Luke, 23:41-43).

This criminal, despite his own suffering, has not lost his true nature. His kindness towards Jesus and faith in Jesus brought him the triumph of the right to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, Paradise

Heaven and Hell. Signatures under calls to "Stop the persecution of Falun Gong in China!". Taiwan October 28, 2003. Photo: PATRICK LIN/AFP/Getty Images “The CCP is afraid of people's natural good thoughts, so they don't dare to give people freedom of belief. The CCP brutally persecutes honest people of faith such as Falun Gong disciples who strive for Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance; or as underground members of the Christian church who believe in Jesus and Jehovah. The CCP fears that democracy may end its one-party rule, and therefore does not dare to give people political freedom. It acts immediately, imprisoning independent liberals and civil rights activists.

But the CCP really gave the Chinese, on the condition of their non-interference in politics, non-opposition to the leaders of the party, another freedom - the freedom to satisfy any of their desires, up to committing any atrocities and immoral deeds.

Thus, the CCP is going downhill, and the standards of morality of Chinese society are going down, which is very sad. "Blocked the road to the heavenly paradise, opened the door to hell" - this statement really aptly indicates how the CCP's heretical cult is ruining today's Chinese society. () It must be added that not only Chinese society, but also the people of the whole world.

Here we will not talk about policemen torturing innocent people; businessmen who neglect morality for the sake of profit; doctors who harvest organs from living people; scientists and specialists devoted to the Communist Party, who bear the "seal of the beast", refusing to separate themselves from it.

Those who weep in compassion for Falun Gong practitioners, appeal in their defense, and share the weight of their burden - they are the ones who will be saved. They are the ones who go to heaven. The sins of these people were cleansed or reduced by their tears and righteous deeds. They manifested their nature of God, which they kept in their hearts, it shakes the whole ten-sided world. They have shown themselves to be lives worthy of ascension to heaven.

People who show compassion for other people's pain and support for Falun Gong followers, those who do not spare their lives, uphold universal ideals, the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, truly deserve to be cherished. The road to paradise is open to them, the gods are waiting for them.

The world of people in the sky. Three objects of the heavenly world

When the conversation turns to the world of the Gods, everyone understands that these are the places where the Enlightened Ones live. Western people who believe in God call these places heaven. I must say that all these places are different, they are not the same, since the Gods who created these worlds are at different levels. Each God has his own paradise, his own heavenly kingdom, where his disciples live. These heavenly kingdoms are very beautiful. There are heavenly flowers, so-called heavenly flowers, heavenly music, heavenly food, heavenly birds and heavenly animals.

paradise flowers

The so-called heavenly flowers are flowers in the world of the Gods, in paradise. There are a lot of beautiful flowers in our world, but our flowers are ordinary, they are not transparent, and besides, we cannot observe the whole process of their growth, blooming and withering.

Heavenly flowers, heavenly music, heavenly books, dreams of heaven. Photo courtesy of The Epoch Times The flowers of Paradise are so enchanting that it is impossible to describe in words, you can see how they grow from the ground. In paradise, too, everywhere there is also heaven and earth. In addition, these heavenly flowers competed with each other: who will grow faster, more beautiful and more transparent. This rivalry is not a fight at all like in the human world, it's just a kind of entertainment for sentient beings in paradise.

Some kinds of flowers in paradise can dance, they are intertwined with stems and buds, their movements are more beautiful than the movements of the best dancer in our human world. Flowers in paradise can fly, they can themselves turn into many other objects, different in shape, objects, birds and animals.

In paradise there is an instrument shaped like a lute, there are other musical instruments, but they are all made of the matter of other spaces. When they play, these sounds captivate the ear. Listening to heavenly music, you penetrate into a new, unknown world. Paradise music carries strong positive energy, therefore, a person who has “heavenly ears” open, listening to it, receives great pleasure and benefit.

Paradise Books

In our world, the text written in books is motionless, and people cannot even imagine that it can move. In paradise, everything is alive, everything can move, and letters are no exception. In paradise, the texts in the books are alive, they can move, they can dance, they can show the reader the picture they are describing.

For example, I read a book about a major historical event on earth, people see a simple text describing this event, but when a person opens and begins to read a heavenly book, he fully experiences that event from beginning to end, becoming, as it were, a participant in it (letters in the book they fully manifest everything that was described there, moreover, all this in images and with sounds).

Dreams of Paradise

Perhaps many have had dreams in which they visited paradise: beautiful worlds filled with light, colors and music. In these dreams, a person very clearly feels his belonging to the heavenly world (paradise). Everything that a person feels in his dreams is very real, and so natural, as if a person had lived in that world for millions of years.

Suddenly waking up, a person does not immediately understand why he is here and what he is doing here on earth, this is a burden to the human soul, this is unacceptable. I want to go back to paradise. For the rest of his life, a person is looking for a path: the path of returning to paradise, the path of returning to his source. All orthodox religions and practices of self-improvement call this path - self-improvement.

Who is destined to enter the Gardens of Eden? Surah Ar-Rad 13:69-73 answers this question: “To those who believe in the signs of Allah, obey Him and surrender to Him, it will be said reverently on the Day of Resurrection: “Enter Paradise rejoicing, you and your wives, where are your faces will be beaming with happiness. When they enter Paradise, they will be surrounded by golden dishes and bowls of various foodstuffs and
drinks. Everything is prepared for them in paradise that the souls desire and that will delight the eyes. And so that their joy may be complete, they will be told: “In this bliss you will abide forever!” And so that they feel full mercy, they will be told: “This is Paradise, into which you entered as a reward for your good deeds in earthly life. In paradise for you there is an abundance of fruits of different types and varieties that you will enjoy.
The inhabitants of paradise will live in huge tents made of precious stones, for example, yacht and pearls. They will wear robes of silk, satin and brocade and gold jewelry, reclining on "embroidered beds" and "spread carpets." They will be served by "boys forever young", who will go around them "with vessels of silver and crystal goblets."
According to the Koran, people who find themselves in paradise will be able to live a married life, but they will not have children. All local inhabitants will remain forever at the age of approximately 33 years. Men will be able to live not only with their wives, but also with heavenly virgins - houris, "black-eyed, big-eyed, like stored pearls", "whom neither man nor genie touched before them." In paradise it will be allowed to drink wine, which, however, will not intoxicate. Although the inhabitants of paradise will be able to eat and drink, they will not defecate as in ordinary life: the secretions will evaporate from their bodies through a special sweat like musk.
The contemplation of Allah occupies a special place in the descriptions of paradise: “Faces that day are shining, looking at their Lord.” The hadith says: “You will see your Lord as you see the moon, and there will be no difficulty for you in this. And there will be no barrier between Him and you.” Those who can see Allah with their own eyes will reach the pinnacle of heavenly blessings.
Islamic theologians (ulema) believe that in fact the descriptions of paradise in the Qur'an are given at the level of human concepts and the true essence of what awaits a person after death in paradise is incomprehensible to us living.

What is Ray? Is it possible to get to heaven? When do people go to heaven? Many people think and talk about this topic. But people don't know exactly what heaven is. Some take some very beautiful, cozy and calm place for paradise, admiring this place, they say about this place: “like in paradise”, returning from such a place, they say: “it’s like being in paradise”. Some do not believe at all that there are such worlds as hell or heaven, insist that hell and heaven exist only in the imagination of man. People's understanding can be different.

How are religions taught? What does science say about these worlds? First, let's think about what is paradise in the understanding of religious people? On this occasion, we can say that different religions have different ideas and traditions about the description of paradise. It is only clear that paradise is a very specific place in Heaven, and not just one place. There are about a hundred such worlds in our galaxy. Each Enlightened One (God) has such a world (Paradise, Heavenly Kingdom) in which all his followers live. There are people on earth who have psychic (supernatural) abilities. These abilities enable such people to communicate with living beings of other spaces. Such people tell different stories about heavenly places in Heaven, convey the will of Heaven to people. Some people can understand this, take it to heart. Such people are called wise men, teachers, elders, people from God.

Telling legends, predictions, legends, myths and parables and passing them from mouth to mouth, people spread the precepts of the sages. As a result of such a transfer, a stable concept of good and evil is formed in different religions and among different peoples. In the form of folklore, holy people tried to tell people which deeds are good and which are evil, for which deeds people go to heaven, and for which deeds go to hell. In the cultures of some peoples, there are classic novels that tell about various heavenly places. In particular, this applies to the countries of the East: India and China. In Christianity, there are also many stories that are collected in collections about the life of the saints.

Be that as it may, in both cultures, both Eastern and Western, the principle of karmic retribution is widespread, meaning that everyone is ultimately responsible for their own actions, depending on the commission of which, after the death of the body, the soul falls or into heaven or into hell. The universe will reward actions that are consistent with the principles: good deeds are rewarded with good, while evil deeds will receive due retribution. Believers of all religions tried to act righteously so that after death a person could go to heaven.

The parable of the traveler who set off on a journey to find paradise clearly tells people at what cost one can get to paradise. He went with a dog. Encountering a gate on the way, beyond which music, flowers, splashing fountains, he asked the gatekeeper who stood guard at the gate what kind of place it was. He replied that there, beyond the gates, is paradise, but you can’t go there with a dog. This man thought: “Since it’s impossible with a dog, then I won’t go there.” He went on, met another gate on the way, less attractive, but there was water and food for him and his dog. He entered and asked what kind of place this was. They answered him: “This is paradise, but only those who do not abandon their friends come here, and those who abandon their friends can stay in hell, mistaking hell for paradise.”

Christianity conveyed to us its understanding of paradise. Christians know that Jesus has his own world in Heaven - Paradise, the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus clearly told people how to get there. All those who believe in Jesus know that Jesus, being crucified on the cross and enduring incredible suffering, fulfilled his mission on earth to the end. When a crucified thief is with Jesus, ask him, “Why, Lord, were you crucified? You haven't done anything wrong, have you?" To which Jesus replied: “Today you will be with me in the Kingdom of Heaven. Thus, the sins of this robber were forgiven by Jesus, and he was able to go to heaven only because he thought about God, who was executed for nothing. It is also considered a noble act - to think in any situation about the suffering of another, to be able to sympathize in any situation. And such an act is regarded as the road to paradise.

All religions talk about the existence of the Kingdom of Heaven - Paradise, and you can get there only by changing your heart, that is, you need to become a good person, even better than a good person, by self-improvement of your soul, changing your character.

In the past, everyone who wanted to improve in religion had to take the veil as a monk or nun and leave the human world. Living in poverty, poverty, wandering, begging - this was the path of Buddhists, Christians and other religious people who improved in the past, walking along the path to God. And all of them, of course, knew that after death they would appear before God in paradise and God would accept them in his heavenly kingdom. It was the road to the paradise of all saints. The ideas of cultivators from various religions were such that in order to get to heaven, one must renounce everything earthly, not chase after anything, desire nothing, discard all the desires of ordinary people.

How to get to heaven? - The sage will always answer your question correctly "Everything is in your hands!"

Natalya Rytova. Epoch Times

In 1999, the Miramax film company presented the comedy film Dogma to the general public. The plot of this picture is built around two fallen angels, Loki and Bartleby, expelled by God from paradise. And this couple lives on earth among people and dreams of forgiveness and return to the Garden of Eden. According to the plot, apostates find a technical loophole among various church dogmas, allowing them to become sinless again. After that, they should have died immediately - then they automatically go to heaven. And now the angels go all out in order to fulfill their dream. This comedy film touches upon a question that worries many people, although not everyone can admit it even to themselves: “How to get to heaven?” Today we will try to understand this, despite the fact that this topic is, so to speak, in the department of faith and religion. To date, science has not been able to provide evidence of the existence of paradise, however, as well as evidence of its absence. Well, let's hit the road...

What is "paradise"?

We propose to begin our study with an analysis of the concept itself. If you delve into this topic, you can see that paradise is different. And in each religion, the vision of this place is completely different, each denomination describes it in its own way. For example, the main book of Christianity, the Bible, gives us the following information about it: this word refers to the Garden of Eden, which was home to Adam and Eve, the progenitors of mankind. The life of the first people in paradise was simple and carefree, they knew neither disease nor death. One day they disobeyed God and succumbed to temptation. The immediate expulsion of people from paradise followed. According to the prophecies, it will be restored, people will live in it again. The Bible states that paradise was originally created on earth, so Christians believe that it will be restored there as well. Now only the righteous can get there, and even then only after death.

What does the Quran say about paradise? In Islam, this is also a garden (Jannat), in which the righteous will live after the Day of Judgment. The Qur'an describes this place in detail, its levels and features.

In Judaism, everything is somewhat more complicated, however, after reading the Talmud, Midrash and the Zohar, one can conclude that paradise for the Jews is here and now, it was given to them by Jehovah.

In general, each religion has its own idea of \u200b\u200bthe "cherished garden". One thing remains unchanged. No matter what object is considered, whether it is the Buddhist Nirvana or the Scandinavian Valhalla, paradise is perceived as a place where eternal bliss reigns, bestowed after death. Probably, it makes no sense to delve into the beliefs of African or Australian natives - they are too alien to us, and therefore we will limit ourselves to the largest religious denominations. And let's move on to the main topic of our article: "How to get to heaven?"

Christianity and Islam

With these religions, everything is more or less clear: lead a righteous life, that is, live according to the commandments of God, and after death your soul will go to the “cherished garden”. However, for those who do not want to limit their freedom and are looking for easier ways, there are so-called loopholes to avoid the hellfire. True, there are some nuances here. A very striking example is jihad in Islam - diligence on the path to Allah. Recently, this concept has been associated with armed struggle and self-sacrifice, although it is much broader and is a struggle with one's social or spiritual vices. We will consider a special case of jihad advertised by the media, namely suicide bombers. World news feeds are full of reports of suicide bombings around the world. Who are they and why do they decide to take such actions? It is worth considering whether these people are doing a charitable deed or are they the victims of behind-the-scenes manipulators who do not hesitate to shed other people's blood in the struggle for power? After all, as a rule, it is not enemy soldiers who suffer from the actions of suicide bombers, but civilians. So their actions can at least be called doubtful, the murder of women and children is not a fight against vices, but a violation of the main commandment of God - do not kill. By the way, in Islam killing is also not welcome, as in Christianity. On the other hand, history remembers the wars committed in the name of God: the Church blessed the crusaders, the Pope personally sent the soldiers on their bloody campaign. So the actions of Islamic terrorists can be understood, but cannot be justified. Murder is murder, no matter for what purpose it is committed.

By the way, in Orthodox Christianity, military service is also considered a charitable deed, however, this concerns the protection of the Russian land from an external enemy. And in the distant past, and today, priests blessed the soldiers going on a campaign; there are many cases when church ministers themselves took up arms and went to war. It is difficult to say unequivocally whether a soldier who died in battle will go to heaven or not, whether all his sins will be written off from him or, on the contrary, they will be pulled down into hellfire. So this method can hardly be called a ticket to the Garden of Eden. Let's try to find other, more reliable methods.

Indulgence

How do people get to heaven? In the first half of the 13th century, Hugh Saint-Chersky in his writings developed the theological justification for indulgence, recognized a hundred years later by Pope Clement VI. Many sinners of that time perked up, because they had a great chance to get rid of their sins that stood in the way of eternal bliss. What is meant by this concept? Indulgence is a liberation from temporary punishment for committed sins, in which a person has already repented, and the guilt for them has already been forgiven in the sacrament of confession. It can be either partial or complete. A believer can receive an indulgence for himself or for the deceased. According to Catholic teaching, complete forgiveness is possible only if specific requirements are met: confession, communion, it was necessary to pray in the intention of the Pope, and also to perform a number of certain actions (testimony of faith, ministry of mercy, pilgrimage, etc.). The Church later compiled a list of "super-due good deeds" that allowed indulgences to be granted.

In the Middle Ages, the practice of issuing forgiveness often led to significant abuses, which can be characterized by the modern concept of “corruption”. The furry hydra became so entangled that it served as an impetus for the reform movement. As a consequence, Pope Pius V in 1567 "closes shop" and forbids the issuance of pardons for any financial settlements. The modern procedure for granting them is regulated by the document "Guide to indulgences", which was released in 1968 and supplemented in 1999. For those who wonder: "How to get to heaven?" it should be understood that this method can only work if you are on your deathbed (so you will not have time to sin again). Although a person often manages to make unforgivable mistakes in his dying state.

sacrament of baptism

How to get to heaven? This can help. The fact is that, according to Christian teaching, during this ceremony, the human soul is freed from all sins. True, this method is not suitable for the bulk, because a person can go through it only once, and in most cases parents baptize their children in infancy. Only representatives of the royal dynasty underwent the ceremony twice, and then only at the coronation. So, if you are already baptized and do not belong to the royal family, then this method is not for you. Otherwise, you have a chance to get rid of all your sins, but just don’t fall into all serious troubles and finally do something that you will later be ashamed to tell your grandchildren about. By the way, some representatives of Judaism prefer to accept Christianity in old age. So, just in case, because - according to their belief - paradise is here on Earth, but what will happen after death? So you can insure yourself, and at the end of your earthly existence, go over to another camp and secure eternal bliss already in the Christian paradise. But, as you can see, this path is available only to the elite.

Egyptian, Tibetan and Mesoamerican "Books of the Dead"

How does the soul get to heaven? Few people know, but for this there are exact instructions that serve as a guide for the deceased in the afterlife. Many people have heard of them, Hollywood has made several films about these treatises, and yet almost no one is familiar with their content. But in ancient times they were studied with great zeal by both noble people and servants. In fact, from the standpoint of a modern person, The Book of the Dead resembles a computer game like a quest. It describes step by step all the actions of the deceased, indicates who is waiting for him at one or another level of the underworld, and what needs to be given to the servants of the underworld. The yellow press is full of interviews with survivors. People who have seen heaven and hell talk about their feelings and experiences about this. But few people know that the studies of these visions, conducted by R. Moody, showed a colossal coincidence of such narratives with what the “Books of the Dead” describe, or rather, those parts of them that are devoted to the initial moments of posthumous existence. However, all “returnees” reach a certain stage, the so-called point of no return, and they cannot say anything about the further path. But the ancient texts speak, and in great detail. And the question immediately arises: how did the ancient civilizations that lived on different continents know about this? After all, the content of the texts is almost identical, there are minor differences in details, names, but the essence remains the same. Either it can be assumed that all the "Books of the Dead" were rewritten from one, more ancient source, or this is knowledge given to people by the gods, and everything that is written there is true. After all, people who have “seen paradise” (survived clinical death) are talking about the same thing, although most of them have never read these manuscripts.

Ancient knowledge and equipment of the deceased

In ancient Egypt, the priests prepared and trained the citizens of their country for the afterlife. In what way? During his lifetime, a man studied “magical techniques and formulas” that helped the soul overcome obstacles and defeat monsters. In the grave of the deceased, relatives always put items that he would need in the afterlife. For example, it was necessary to leave two coins - this is a payment to the boatman for transportation across the river of death. People who "have seen paradise" often mention that they met dead friends there, good acquaintances or relatives who helped them with advice. And this is easily explained by the fact that a modern person knows nothing about the afterlife, because they don’t talk about it at school, you won’t get such information at institutes either. In the church, the priests will not help you much either. What remains? This is where people close to you appear who care about your fate.

court of the gods

Almost all religions say that after death a person will be judged, where all the good and evil deeds of the defendant will be compared, weighed, as a result of which his future fate will be decided. Such a judgment is also spoken of in the Books of the Dead. The soul, wandering in the afterlife, having passed all the trials, at the end of the path meets with the supreme King and judge Osiris, who is sitting on the throne. A person must address him with a certain ritual phrase in which he lists how he lived and whether he followed the commandments of God throughout his life. According to the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the soul, after turning to Osiris, had to justify itself for each of its sins before the other 42 gods responsible for certain sins. However, no words of the deceased could save him. The main god placed a feather, which is a symbol (truth, justice, world order, truth), on one side of the scales, and the heart of the defendant on the second. If it outweighed the feather, it meant that it was full of sins. And such a person was devoured by the monster Amait.

If the scales remained in balance, or the heart turned out to be lighter than a feather, then a meeting with loved ones and relatives, as well as “eternal bliss”, awaited the soul. People who saw heaven and hell never described the court of the gods, and this is understandable, because it is beyond the “point of no return”, so one can only guess about the reliability of this information. But we should not forget that most religious denominations speak about such an “event”.

And what do people do in paradise?

Oddly enough, few people think about it. According to the Bible, Adam (the first person in paradise) lived in the Garden of Eden and did not know any worries, he was not familiar with illnesses, physical labor, he did not even need to use clothes, which means that the climatic conditions there were quite comfortable. That's all, nothing more is known about his stay in this place. But this is a description of an earthly paradise, and as for heaven, even less is known about it. Scandinavian Valhalla and Islamic Jannat promise the righteous eternal bliss, they will be surrounded by full-breasted beauties, and wine will pour into their goblets, the Koran tells that the goblets will be filled with eternally young boys with bowls. The righteous will be spared the torment of a hangover, they will be all right with male power. Here is such an idyll, however, the status of boys and buxom beauties is not clear. Who are they? Deserving paradise or exiled here as a punishment for past sins? Somehow it's not entirely clear.

Slaves of the gods

The Books of the Dead tell of a completely different idyll. In accordance with these ancient treatises, "eternal bliss" comes down only to the fact that there are no crop failures, and, accordingly, hunger and wars. People in paradise, as in life, continue to work for the good of the gods. That is, man is a slave. This is evidenced by the books of both the Mesoamerican Indians and the ancient Egyptians, and, of course, the Tibetan manuscript. But among the ancient Sumerians, the ideal picture of the afterlife looks much gloomier. Having crossed to the other side, the soul of the deceased passes through seven gates and enters a huge room in which there is neither drink nor food, but only muddy water and clay. Here begins the main afterlife torment. The only indulgence for her can be regular sacrifices, which will be carried out by living relatives. If the deceased was a lonely person or his relatives treated him badly and did not want to perform the ceremony, then a very bad fate awaits the soul: she leaves the dungeon and roams the world in the form of a hungry ghost and harms everyone she meets. This is the idea of the afterlife among the ancient Sumerians, but the beginning of their works also coincides with the "Books of the Dead". Unfortunately, people who "were in paradise" are not able to lift the veil over what is beyond the "point of no return." Representatives of the main religious denominations are not able to do this either.

Pater Diy on religions

In Russia, there are many religious directions of the so-called pagan direction. One of these is the Old Russian Church of Orthodox Old Believers-Ynglings, the leader of which is Khinevich A. Yu. In one of his video speeches, Pater Diy recalls the assignment received from his teacher-mentor. The essence of his “mission” was as follows: to find out from representatives of the main religious denominations what they know about hell and heaven. As a result of such surveys, Khinevich learns that Christian, Islamic, Jewish clergymen have comprehensive information about hell. They can name all its levels, dangers, trials awaiting a sinner, list almost by name all the monsters that will meet with a lost soul, and so on, so on, so on ... However, absolutely all the ministers with whom he had a chance to talk know amazingly little about heaven. They have only superficial information about the place of eternal bliss. Why is that? Khinevich himself draws the following conclusion: they say, whom they serve, they know about it ... We will not be so categorical in our judgments, and we will leave it to the reader. In this case, it would be appropriate to recall the words of the classic, the brilliant M. A. Bulgakov. In the novel The Master and Margarita, he puts into Woland's mouth the phrase that there are many theories regarding the afterlife. There is one among them, according to which each will be given according to his faith...

Is there enough space?

Various information resources often discuss topics related to the Garden of Eden. People are interested in various issues. And how can you get there, and how many people are in paradise, and much more. A couple of years ago, the whole world was in a fever: everyone was waiting for the "end of the world", which was supposed to come in December 2012. In this regard, many predicted that the same "Judgment Day" was about to come, when God would descend to earth and punish all sinners, and grant eternal bliss to the righteous. And here the most interesting begins. How many people will go to heaven? Is there enough space for everyone? Or will everything happen as in the plans of the globalists who want to leave a “golden billion” on the planet? These and similar questions haunted many, making it difficult to sleep at night. However, the year 2013 came, the "end of the world" did not come, and the expectation of "Judgment Day" remained. Increasingly, Jehovah's Witnesses, evangelists, etc. turn to passers-by with a call to repent and let God into their souls, because soon all things will come to an end, and everyone must make their choice before it is too late.

Heaven on Earth

According to the Bible, the Garden of Eden was on Earth, and many theologians are sure that in the future it will also be restored to our planet. However, a reasonable person may ask: why wait for the day of judgment, maybe you can build a paradise on your own? Ask any fisherman who met the dawn with a fishing rod somewhere on a quiet lake: where is paradise? He will confidently answer that he is on Earth, here and now. Maybe you should not sit in a stuffy apartment? Try to go to the forest, to the river or to the mountains, wander in silence, listen to the birds singing, look for mushrooms, berries - and, quite possibly, you will discover this "eternal bliss" during your lifetime. However, a person is arranged in such a way that he always waits for a miracle ... Like, some kind uncle will appear and solve all his problems - he will wean sluts from throwing garbage past the trash can, rude people - to swear, boors - to park in the wrong place, corrupt officials - to take bribes and so on Further. A person sits and waits, and life passes by, it cannot be returned ... Muslims have a parable called "The last person who entered paradise." It most accurately conveys the essence of human nature, which always remains dissatisfied with the true state of things. A person always remains unsatisfied, even if he gets what he dreams of. I wonder if he will be happy in paradise, or maybe some time will pass - and he will begin to be burdened by "eternal bliss", he will want something more? After all, Adam and Eve also could not resist the temptations. This should be something to think about...

"Terraria": how to get to heaven

Finally, this issue will also have to be covered, although it is difficult to tie it to the topic of the article. Terraria is a 2D sandbox video game. It features customizable characters, dynamic daytime changes, randomly generated worlds, the ability to deform terrain, and a crafting system. Many gamers are scratching their heads, asking a similar question: "Terraria": how to get to heaven? The fact is that in this project there are several biomes: "Jungle", "Ocean", "Land World", "Dungeon", "Hell", etc. In theory, "Paradise" should also exist, only can't find it. It is especially difficult for beginners. This is the biome that is torn out of the logical chain. Although experienced players claim that it exists. To get there, you need to craft the wings of the harpy and the spheres of power. You can get the necessary components near the "Floating Islands". These are areas of land floating in the air. Their appearance is not much different from the ground surface: there are the same trees, resource deposits as on the ground, and only a lonely standing temple with a chest inside stands out from the rest of the landscape. Nearby, harpies will surely appear, dropping feathers we need so much, and other monsters. Be alert!

This is where we end our journey. Let's hope that the reader will find his way to "eternal bliss".
