“I have sometimes joked that waking from bodily death is like awakening from sleep in the morning, at which point, we can say: ‘I just had the strangest life.’
Think of your childhood for a moment, does it not seem like a dream, a story, a fantasy? The Course In Miracles calls the body ‘the central figure in the dreaming of the world.’ Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, a little girl or boy was born into a body in a specific space and time. And so, the story – the dream – goes on and carries us through illusory time.
What if you were to totally let your body go? What if you were in Heaven, would your earthly life not seem like a dream, as Heaven in all its glory now stands before you.
There will not be a Jon Mundy in Heaven. It does not work that way. All appellations, names, designations, ranks, and titles disappear because such appellations are temporal means of distinguishing one body, occupation, or earthly rank from that of another. There are no kings and queens in Heaven. 
There are no doctors in Heaven. What would you need a doctor for? There is no earthly, flesh and bones ‘body’ there. There are no lawyers in Heaven. Where only love prevails there is no crime, and no one is suing anyone else. There are no captains, generals, or lieutenants. There is no war in Heaven. There is no ‘property’ marked off and designated as ‘your personal property.’ Put simply, there is no ‘ego’ in Heaven. The Course asks us instead to:
Sit quietly and look upon the world you see,
and tell yourself: “The real world is not like this.
It has no buildings and there are no streets
where people walk alone and separate.
There are no stores where people buy
an endless list of things they do not need.
It is not lit with artificial light,
and night comes not upon it.
There is no day that brightens and grows dim.
There is no loss.
Nothing is there but shines and shines forever.’
T-13.VII.1:1-7
Heaven is a state of pure and perfect love because that is what God is, and the ‘you’ that you are, the Self, the Christ that God created is ever a part of God and knows nothing of earthly limitations.
The more awareness we have of love – the more it pours from us into the world – the more we can appreciate the truth of who we truly are. The more we can awaken to the reality of Eternal Love, the more we can be done with ego games and childish things. To die in this sense is simply to step off the stage, give up our victim-hood, the drama and the soap opera of our everyday life.”
