Too many people only want to go were they can find acceptance (they even expect this from God). But God and heaven’s angels already accept everyone into their kingdom of mutual love. So what keeps people from enjoying heavenly peace and eternal happiness?

Eternal peace and happiness is not someplace where other souls treat you right. It is a deep state of mind and quality acquired by individuals who are willing to probe their inner dirt and who consciously choose to remove these negative aspects from their lives (with the Lord’s help).

This process can be truly unflattering (and no angel will ever flatter or validate you if that is what you seek). So, a certain kind of bravery is called for and a certain kind of endurance must be created from our own efforts in self-examination.

If these negative aspects are not explored, challenged and resisted, our best deeds will always be stained by worldly elements of pride, vanity, status, and self-importance, which keep us away from heaven’s environment of innocence.

The trick is not to become good people, but to attract God’s goodness into our lives, which comes only from the removal of our harmful types of behavior.

This is why becoming a member of a Heavenly society requires self-initiation. We are each personally responsible for the quality of our own soul.
