What about this life here, regardless of heaven beyond? Is it possible to experience the fullness of heaven here on earth while you are alive? Does that happen, or is it just believing after you die you will find that Peace, that brings a sense of hope for the next world?
I do not know if it is possible to experience the fullness of heaven in the present life; many saints told about mistical experiences; it seems that they may have experienced heaven during their earthly life.
However, the fundamental point is that the more we approach sanctity, the more we experience the fullness of happiness, love and peace. What we have to do is to walk the road towards sanctity.
But how does the transformation happen? If you just quit doing bad things, that's good. But what else needs to happen in order to grow beyond the ego? What sort of practices do you do?
I think that prayer is a fundamental element of such transformation, because through prayer we establish a personal relationship with the Lord. Christ founded His Church to help us to find sanctity and salvation; you should talk to a priest ; he could give you much more information than I can do here on this forum.
I agree God is the source of all true love and good, for God is Love. But when you mentioned doubt before, were you talking about not doubting that, or about not doubting certain theological beliefs?
I am not a theologian; what I meant is that I have no doubts about Christ being God and about God being the source of all true love and good.
