Eternal injustice

Imagine a man who has been an ashole all his life, selfish, nasty, greedy, exploiting other people, lying through his teeth, smiling, playing mild and caring, but crazy for money and power, etcetera.

Then, think of an upright man who has always been kind and helpful.

Do you think these two men will meet the same fate when they die, that both will be admitted to the wonderful spiritual realm, the kingdom of heaven?

All people who have had a near-death experience, at least all the people I have heard of on YouTube, talk about how wonderful it is there on the other side. Will it be fantastic for all people? What do you think? How do you fantasize about these things?

Integration

The brain is divided into two halves; they are like Yin and Yang. Both sides are essential — intuition and thinking, poetry and logic, imagery and explanations, art and scientific theories, being and doing.

It is not about this way or that way, my way or your way, spirit or flesh. It is about the way — which includes both Yin and Yang.

Who are you?

Sometimes I'm an atheist, sometimes I'm a theist. Sometimes I'm a deist; sometimes I'm an agnostic. Sometimes I am a jerk; sometimes I am an idealist. Who am I really? I ask myself. 

Thoughts are not of much help if you want to find your true self. If you want to learn about who you are, you must observe your actions. Did you stay, or did you go? Was your career more important to you than your best friend? Did you follow the instructions? Did you toe the line?
