So far it looks like to be "different" from everyone else we need to be Orthodox. It seems that Hindus have the sme "vision" of heaven as the Protestants. I find this interesting. This chapter reminded me of C.S. Lewis' series "The Chronicals of Narnia" most specificly the last book were everyone died and went to heaven. Now I will admit that both do not share all the same details but the details of the "visions" of heaven is included in the book.

Lets us see what the next chapter brings.

This where this post was supose to be, I clicked the wrong title.

It's interesting how Saint Symeon the New Theologian has understood the nature of man in Paradise and has given us the blessing to understand that too. The actual contact, as many protestants believe by following the light, is a sad case of thinking that every man is destined to go to Abraham's bossom. The danger of the meeting the evil spirits, and the contact with can cause great delusion, which is hard to recover from. God forbid! By sinning we have contact with Evil Spirits.
