What is heaven George? - in the Catholic Encyclopedia heaven is being in the
presence of God. Let's talk ontology. If you internalize the Law, you have
only done so by abandoning the self since conforming to the law requires self
control. Once you've abandoned the self, you've obliterated the subject/object
dichotomy and are literally in the presence of God. You say the theology is not
sound, but that's all you say. Can you make an objective statement like the
above that supports your position? I haven't heard one.
You conform to the law through self control, which is essentially
transcending your physical desires.
I am describing a process supported in genesis, in the NT, in the nag hammadi
texts, by tillich in the courage to be and even Suzuki who describes the
technique for achieving that precise ontology..
You have made a declarative statement. Support it.
