How do you go to the Kingdom of Heaven?

[SmileySpirit14]

u ask some outrageous questions!! no one here knows exactly how to get to heaven or if it even exists. ppl have had nde's and all had different experiences, so i think we all create our own 'heaven'. everybody has described death differently except they all say it is soo pleasant and they like death better. i do too. ive read that death is similar ap/obe.

Simple: By being completely and brutally honest to your self and in seeking to find the lessons behind events in your life.

The best way to get into the kingdom of heaven is to believe that you will.

well, let's see. since this "heaven" place only exists in the christian and hebrew religions, you'd have to study those in order to find out.

basically, according to the israelites, you must be a jew and you must follow the law. according to christianity, you must believe in Jesus as the son of God, ask God to forgive you for your sins, and change who you are so that you are living the life that God has set out for you []. the neccessity of baptism is hotly debated.

Kind of similar to believing you'll go to hell if you don't follow the law isn't it?

"People only go to hell if that's what they believe, in their deepest heart, that they deserve to go. Which they won't do if they don't know about it. This explains why it is so important to shoot missionaries on sight"
- Terry Pratchett.

Well, Jesus said "the Kingdom of Heaven is within you" so that's a good place to start looking.  If you're coming at this from a Christian viewpoint I'd recommend reading "Putting on the Mind of Christ" by Jim Marion.  It looks at the Christian message from an esoteric/mysterical perspective and is quite illuminating.  Also, if you look on Amazon you will find a variety of books that discuss Christ and his message from a Jungian standpoint, i.e. Christ's life and message were a symbolic representation to us of the internal spiritual path the we must follow (the narrow path that few find) to achieve enlightenment (the Kingdom of Heaven).

I think I agree with James the most.TheKingdom of Heaven is where you are, if you align yourself with honor and truth.  Other religions are paths to this too.

Missionaries should not be shot, unless they are also criminals threatening you.  They may often be misguided, but so are a lot of other people.

St. Anthony, pray for us.

To get into the kingdom, you have to sleep with the queen and hope the king doesnt find out.
