In order to receive answers from heaven, work first at ridding yourself of greed, self-interest, wrong thinking and pettiness
"You try hard to meditate and pray, and you have the feeling it is all for nothing or next to nothing. But it is quite simply that you think you can rise without first leaving your old, thick, coarse clothing behind, symbolically speaking. Under such conditions, what can you expect your soul to receive? Neither the light nor heaven's answers or blessings are able to reach you; they cannot get through that shell.

In order to receive answers from heaven, you must appear before it in light, transparent clothing, that is, work first at ridding yourself of greed, self-interest, wrong thinking and pettiness. Once you have achieved this, the moment you close your eyes to connect with heaven you will feel its blessings flowing towards you."

You have to own up to those things first, like by saying,

I am greedy,
I have-self interest,
I am wrong thinking
I am petty

Hard to do, eh?

The "I" that is greedy is an illusion, that's what needs to be noted as well, imho

Yes for the ego to consider such thoughts, it causes the body much pain. Important for others not to look at these feelings as 'sins', but just negative energy that one needs to part ways with in one's consciousness. Your spirit is never tarnished from negative energy - but negative energy must be confronted and done away with accordingly.

Because the 'old age' doctrine is so effective right? Thousands of years of billions devoting themselves to organized religions and tell me, where are all the enlightened individuals who have rid themselves of negative emotions and energy? They must be hiding. You will never come across the right answers looking outward for 'saving'.

That 'resonating' feeling is coming from your heart and more importantly your true inner self. It's alerting you that you've come across a 'truth'. When you get better at identifying that feeling you will be able to utilize that 'resonating' to guide you in all other walks of life. It will branch out into everything you do and help you make wise decisions in life. And you are absolutely right, people need to recognize elements of their life that are 'not working' for them and not be so scared to break away from rigid patterns of behavior or believe systems.... Open up.

Congrats to you for being able to recognize and acknowledge that affirming, resonating feeling for what it actually is.

Re: In order to receive answers from heaven, work first at ridding yourself of greed, self-interest, wrong thinking and pettiness
It's more difficult in my book
theres things like the original sin
then curses and sins of the fathers passed down
(think about your position in life and what went into getting you there good/bad) You can't walk away scott free just because it's not your doing if your 'living easy off the profits of crime.'
and then you get down to your own faults and mistakes you make down the road of life that must be accounted for.

And then theres all the damage done to your ancestors, you, and what will come to your decendants, and the repercussions of it.

And your spirit walking into Heaven clean is one thing, however if your still living then what of your life and the things that will still happen before your time here is passed.

The thing as I have visioned it, is a long streamer all jumbled up and tied in dreadknots that aren't like magicians knots on a rope that can be pulled through, it has to be untangled and straightened out.

and the price must be paid in full

and perhaps in the judgements of others your tasked to enact their dues

then theres prevention from recurring transgression

oh, and you might think about mercy and salvation of your fellow man, when it's non stop shtf full on doom for the future.

It's just things like these that have people nailed on crosses and lit on fire in Hell.

1.) Don't believe in heaven
2.) Not greedy
3.) Not petty
4.) "Wrong" thinking? sounds like fascism and brainwashing to me
5.) I volunteer
6.) I stand up to those that bully and cheat others
7.) I take reality with good humor.
8.) whatever.
