There is a logical, down-to-earth explanation for most ideas
Ever hear of old-timers talking about the good old days? They were right, the good old days were actually very good - for all of us. What we are talking about is our childhood - a time to play, not worry about the world, taken care of, sheltered - Heaven! isn't it?
As a kid we would play and when we got thirsty, we ran into the house, "mommy, I am thirsty" and magically a glass of water would show up in front of our face, we gulp it down, throw the glass on the table and off we go. Or we say, "mommy, I am hungry" and again magic, a plate of food appears, we eat, throw the plate on the table and off we go back to play. When we come back, more magic - the plate or glass has been cleaned & put away. We throw our dirty clothes in the hamper and more magic happens, in a few days, the same clothes show up neatly folded in our drawers, all clean and ready to wear
Daddy or mommy lose their jobs? Not to worry, just go play, no need to worry, Mommy and Daddy will take care of it - it was a magical time
Heaven then, is the yearning for those days - a time to just sit and enjoy and not to worry - Childhood for eternity!
It is a bit surprising to me that most psychologists have not commented or written about this idea, sadly, they too may have been brainwashed
There is a logical explanation to Reincarnation also - here it is the opposite, by asking us to come back, it is asking us to grow up, to be Adults - to face the world, warts and all. No magic Sugar Daddy coming to save the day, no, you can't run away to magic lands, what you see is what you get. Don't like it? Well, get to work and make things better, the future is in your hands
Little wonder that Reincarnation has fallen out of favor & it will remain so as long as we humans remain weak, that we think we can leave the problems of the world behind for someone else to deal with and can run away to magic lands
