"If they will not listen to Moses or to the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone should rise form the dead."
Luke 16:31

The heart and mind of one who obeys the dictates of his conscience in living and giving is open to receive the enlightenment of ever more subtle truths. So the pure in heart and the obedient in living increasingly perceive and understand the nature of reality, and they are enabled to relate to it in all they do. The frontiers of their understanding are extended, for they are enlightened and guided by Our loving, Holy Spirit to become and to do those things which complete their humanity and extend the Father's Kingdom on earth. And the faithfulness of the least in the eyes of men is greater in the Kingdom of the Father than the partial commitment of those who are highly regarded by men.

And Heaven is ever present to the faithfully committed in love and self-giving, for Our Presence is within and around them. The pain and sadness which they suffer from time to time are real and often grievous, but they are made bearable by the consciousness of Our Presence and the knowledge that total pain is shared and used for the world's salvation. And their destiny is joy in the Father's Nearer Presence for eternity, with all and everyone who has been faithful in love.
