%HEAVEN HELL SALVATION TECHNIQUE ADDICT ACCEPT LOVE 901127

People  who live in hell are preoccupied  with  actual-or-
possible  [techniques,   procedures,   rituals,   objects,
persons,   actions,  etc.] which they believe are  or  may
become  keys to achieving salvation/heaven and/or  staying
out of damnation/hell.  Here "salvation/heaven"  stand for
feeling  ultimately good,  enjoying ultimate  fulfillment,
being fully accepted, having healthy self-esteem, etc.  It
is not the words which are important, but the realities to
which such words may point which are important. We need to
transcend  our disagreements about which words best  point
to the realities of damnation/hell and salvation/heaven.

     The   lives   of   people  in  hell   are   full   of
preoccupations  with [acquisition,  proper use,   improper
use,  abuse, control, manipulation,  refinement,  etc.] of
such key conceptions and realities pointed to by the words
in  this  sentences.   Their lives are  focused  upon  the
achievement of salvation and/or the falling into hell;  of
themselves  and/or others for whom they care,  due to what
they   do   (or   do   not  do)    with   such   keys   to
salvation/damnation. People whose daily lives involve much
activity in churches and formal religion, often are living
in  hell.   People whose daily lives involve  very  little
activity in churches and formal religion, often are living
in heaven. The difference is not always evident,  for some
people work to obscure the difference.

People  who live in heaven have accepted the free gift  of
release from the beliefs which lead people into compulsive
preoccupations   with  actual  or  possible   [techniques,
procedures,  rituals,  objects,  persons,  actions,  etc.]
which  they  think  are or may become  keys  to  achieving
salvation/heaven and/or avoiding damnation/hell. They have
accepted the gift of Love on Love's terms.  They have  NOT
achieved  the right to the gift,  NOR do  they  think/feel
that  they have achieved the right to the gift.  They  are
NOT  trying  to  pay for the gift they  have  received  by
proper  behavior or service.  They enjoy the gift of  Love
thankfully  and seek to share the gift in non-manipulative
ways which are open and honest.

People  who live in hell seek to achieve the  benefits  of
the gift of Love through their manipulative efforts.  They
are unwilling to accept the gift of Love on its own terms;
and continue to be compulsively preoccupied with actual or
possible  [techniques,   procedures,   rituals,   objects,
persons, actions, etc.] which they think are or may become
keys   to  achieving  [salvation/heaven  and/or   avoiding
damnation/hell.] They disagree among themselves about  how
to  most  effectively  focus  their  efforts  to   achieve
salvation,   and alienate each other in  their  compulsive
efforts;   often rejecting each other,  and rejecting each
others' efforts, as improper and ineffective.  They do not
form  a  true community,  because among  their  most  used
techniques is the use dishonesty as a manipulative tool.
