Is there a shortcut to Heaven? Yes there is. Strive to love without condition, wishing all well – regardless of how they present themselves. And cease to judge at all – especially negatively. Is this too much to ask?
Not at all – when you realize that this world is temporary and fictional. Real life is found in the Kingdom Within — the pathway may be fraught with peril (at least to sense), but strive to be fearless. You are so important. Yes, you are.
Enjoy the concept of the freedom of forgiveness – releasing yourself from all negative taint. You are divine.
Jesus told us the main command is to “Love your own God [good] with all your heart …” Everything rests on obedience to this commandment. If your self definition is less than good, contradicts your divinity, here is the the barrier which you must address for the natural freedom and harmony which IS your essential. Bravely confront these issues — they were probably someone else’s opinions, which you naively believed.
Through ignorance, we adopt certain beliefs as children – which will continue to hobble our future success, until discovered and deleted from our “programming.” Moses said to “choose Life.” You are perfect Life and can be nothing else, no matter how you currently define yourself. Strive to know your Divine, thus true, Self. You are magnificent and deeply loved.
