Short story: The Rabbi who made it into Heaven, but complained to God, about his position there.

Rabbi Anton Brushnec, had died, and he had gone into that part of Heaven, assigned to the Jewish religion. He met God there, and he asked him about why the Jews are alone in their own segmented part of Heaven, here. God told him, that in Heaven, we aim to please, and Jews, to be pleased, must be on their own, as mostly they think they are loners in their thinking, and this then limits them to contact with their own group, not to the whole, where we must not be attached to our group, but be open to all groups here too. The Rabbi remonstrated with God, and he said, "Well, our Jewish souls house Jewish beliefs, and thoughts,  but other souls, house the thoughts of themselves, and so are less true in their thoughts." God answered him, "A Jew, like all other souls, are, are a part of God, which he created to house his thoughts in, but then, which could process these thoughts for themselves, thinking then that these thoughts of God's were then their own thoughts. "Your beliefs are only the thoughts of myself, that you take on board, and try to own for yourself, as your own thoughts." "You are here to see that no thoughts must be kept exclusive to yourself, as when you keep thoughts for yourself, you stop being connected to the flow of thoughts, going into you from me then, as the vessel must not be full, of past thoughts, but always ready to receive my new thoughts, at all times." "An empty vessel remains full, thereby, but a full vessel, in effect, remains empty." "Ah, ha," said the Rabbi, "The joke is on us Jews, then." "No", answered, God, "there is another part of Heaven, for the Jokers too." "They must learn to see that every joke, is God's joke, too." "Humour is mine," sayeth God. The good Rabbi then woke up in his bed. He was not dead at all. He decided to now not own his beliefs, thoughts, jokes, life, anymore though, but to allow all parts of himself to remain within God, and not segregated out into himself. "One, one with God is one with God, not one with themselves alone," was now his thought, until he quickly threw that thought back to God again too.
