Suddenly, I received a video chat message from God. Yes, God. He looks like Gandalf the white wizard in the Lord of the Rings movies. He asked me if I want to go over to his house for some tea and cake. He told me Five of my friends have already agreed to go so I said ok. “Be careful when you go outside. It is rather gloomy. A storm just came..”, God said with a beardy smile on his face. “…are you sure you know the way to my house?”, he added. “I think I know..”, I replied nodding my head. “Ok very well.

There is only a familiar living room in the whole ground floor of the house. There was a pot of tea and a cake served at the center but I am more interested at the higher levels of his house. God asked me if I want to explore upstairs while my friends are happily eating here. I said yes while jumping in excitement. I was really very curious and anxious to see what can be found upstairs. God accompanied me as we went up the small stairs to the second floor.
There was nothing. I just found a large empty space. “Not to worry my child, you can still go up”, God said while pointing his forefinger upwards. I looked up to see a multitude of “heavens” above me. There lay beautiful beaches, cities with fiestas, rich lushful forests and other natural wonders.
