Heaven & Hell

[parthens]

“The teacher of music who demonstrates for the benefit of others, has by no means relieved them from giving the proof requisite to show where they stand in science; he rather does this, for their example that they may understand that which they should demonstrate. Implicit faith in the teacher, whose self-abnegation and toil have bestowed blessings on man, will never make Musicians of the learners; they must go and do likewise, or they are not improving their talents, which, unimproved, condemn them. We must understand the Principle Jesus taught, at whatever expense, and practice it, or we are not Christians.” (Science and Health, by Mrs. Glover, 1875 edition, page 299).

To practice being increasingly conscious of something that the five corporeal senses deny requires time, patience, attention, as it is the spiritual ultimate for which all humanity must quest, “at whatever expense.”

Those to whom physical “reality” is less real than the spiritual world thus prepare themselves for eternal spiritual existence (heaven), while those who have been physically focused throughout their lives are not so prepared, faced only with the anguish and regret of an infinite sense of spiritual starvation (hell).
