That's like trying to read Shakespeare to me. I never could get the hang of it.
I'm not suggesting he said there was no heaven. I'm saying the only thing Jesus had or any of us have is now. The kingdom of heaven doesn't exist in the future, nor in the past. It exists now.
That's my take on it. I don't claim to be a bible scholar, just somebody who's done a lot of reflecting on the nature of existence.

Now is what you experience now. It's the only "time" you ever experience anything and in fact is the only "time" you can experience anything. It may be relative between individuals but it's not relative to each individual. It simply can't be, otherwise it's not what you are experiencing in this moment and ceases to be now.
