Probably no one will radically change after reading this article alone, but perhaps different people will understand each other better. I hope that this understanding will bring peace, between followers of the Heavenly God, between followers of the Hells' God, and between Buddhists. I think and hope that wisdom and better understanding will bring more peace between those who oppose each other so far.
Perhaps I miss some important points, or misinterpret some things, but that's how i think and believe for now:
In Abrahamic Religions, and in Hermeticism, it's believed that Union with God lasts forever, that heaven never ends. It's co-creation of the music of creation that lasts forever.
In Buddhism, we think/believe that no heaven or hell lasts forever, when God 'spends' all of his or her good karma, he or she dies, and his or her heaven collapses with him or her as well.
My personal opinion is that hell is heaven for the chosen, and paradise can be found even in hell, when someone earns that privilege - for example by succesful service for hellish rulers/authorities.
It can be the very long time before heaven or hell falls apart, but it's unavoidable.
As an internet friend said, more or less: 'religious reunion is a process; unity is dictatorship and stagnation, an attempt to delay unavoidable collapse'.
I think that to earn reunion and a 'few moments of unity', one has to work for that. Even Love falls apart when no one cares, when it's not 'maintained'.
Buddhists believe that only Enlightenment is eternal, but even Buddhas after rebriths 'earn' their position again, work again for benefit of all beings, awaken their energies and power in new ways - because the world changes and needs development of new ways for helping others.
Enlightenment does not mean 'basking in luxuries' at the cost of Sangha (buddhist community), Buddhas work and help beings, but still are happy and full of power. Even deaths and rebirths can't take these away from those who reached Enlightenment (from Buddhas).
In a way, death and rebirth is an opportunity for change, to adapt to the changes in the world, to help in new, current ways.
It's an opportunity to fight against new types of suffering ... and for opposing new, harmful trends in the world.
