recently i saw a movie called "what dreams may come" by robin williams. its a story about a couple whose two children died in a car accident. shortly after, the husband, robin, also died in a car crash. he ascended to heaven. he missed his wife and was told by his counter parts that his wife, unable to cope with the trauma, committed suicide and ended in hell.
determined to save his wife, robin decided to go into hell. he was told that he only had five minutes, if he 'd stay longer he would be stuck in hell with his wife.
upon seeing his wife, who was lost in her sorrow and did not recognize her husband, robin tried very very hard to lift her up, but with no avail. his time was running short, finally he rememberd an incident when he successfully cheered his wife (during their life time) to lift her from her depression. he reminded her of the wonderful moment in their past life: the beautiful picture of the incident: the flowers, the trees, the soft spokeness of robin came into her mind, at that instant, she recognized robin, became very happy and both of them ascended into heaven.
the story tells us that heaven and earth exist only in our minds. with a change of thinking, we can switch from hell to heaven.
cheers
