Heaven on Earth

The Human Mind considers opposites to be identical. And this has produced our greatest accomplishments, and our greatest problems.

In the Christian narrative, Heaven is almost the same as Hell. And this difference is difficult to navigate. How did one arrive from the other? Milton's epic poem (one of the greatest in the English Language) is all about this.

Terrible situations, that are all too common - can easily be transformed, into perfect ones in the minds of believers.

The terrible situation, in my family's history - was the Industrial Midlands of England, at the beginning of the 19th Century, truly horrible places to live, by any standard. When these workers saw the Book of Mormon, they knew it was divine scripture, and its writer, Joseph Smith, was a Prophet of God. And they came to America (in large numbers) to be with him. And to establish their own Heaven on Earth.

Now, in the 21st Century, I got the Kindle version of Paradise Lost for free. Along with The Demonologist. I also get text to speech, which is quite good.
