547. CHAPTER 6

HEAVEN AND HEAVENLY JOY - continued

All souls who enter the next life are ignorant of what heaven is and what heavenly joy is. The majority imagine it to be a form of joy which any can be let into no matter how they have lived, even those who have hated their neighbour and have gone through life committing adultery. They are totally unaware of the fact that heaven is mutual and chaste love, and that heavenly joy is the resulting happiness.
