Heaven and Hell

   The other important realization with all this is that heaven and hell aren't black and white. My soul is clean and the closer I get to it the more truth I see. I have been horribly afraid of hell my whole life. Largely because my body would tell my mind to do things that moved me away from my soul. I know I'm not perfect. We are all walking toward one or the other. We are moving toward humility and truth or pride and lies. I am walking toward heaven, toward truth. If I am walking toward heaven then I don't have to worry about ending up in hell. It is much less about weather you are in or out and much more about how far away you are.

*This has to do with unlearning ridged ideas about heaven and hell that I was programmed with as a child. It is impressive how much ideas given to us at early ages impact the rest of our lives. When I was religious I never had total confidence in my position. Every day I unlearn the literal heaven and hell and move toward the idea of both as archetypes. Intellectually constructed absolutes that our brain can use for direction and less places to go after I die.
