A Beautiful Mind

The following exchange with Chiang was a turning point in Jonathan's life.

"Chiang, this world isn't Heaven at all, is it?" "No, Jonathan, there is no such place. Heaven is not a place, and it is not a time. Heaven is being perfect. He was silent for a moment. You are a very fast flier, aren't you?""I enjoy speed," Jonathan said, taken aback but proud that the Elder had noticed."You will begin to touch Heaven, Jonathan, in the moment that you touch perfect speed. And that isn't flying a thousand miles, or a million, or flying at the speed of light. Because any number is a limit, and perfection doesn't have limits. Perfect speed, my son, is being there."

For in spite of his lonely past,Jonathan Seagull was born to be an instructor, and his own way of demonstrating love was to give something of the truth that he had seen to someone who asked only a chance to see truth for himself.

Attaining the perfection, through sharing your own knowledge -- really great !A great way to find Heaven !! Reminds me of the song Heaven is a place on earth........
