Our spiritual community promises you Heaven on earth once you are "there", but tells you little how exactly to get "there". Somehow you should mind your "ego". Well, the problem with that approach is that the ego is you, so how exactly should you mind yourself?
Well, don't worry about getting "there", a higher authority does this job for you. There is only one requirement, you have to want it and have to be willing to drop the stuff that is holding you back along the Way. God speaks often about this concept in Neale Walsch's "Conversations with God". You decide on whether you want to go north or south, but once you decide on a direction it is of little use to go into the opposite direction.
The spiritual community is right in telling you that there is little use in suffering along the Way. So whenever you drop something that is holding you back, know that you will do just fine without it. Still, you will have to accept the temporary sadness at the same time. We should never delude ourselves; we are as much human as the neighbor next door. The one advantage the spiritual traveler may have is the knowledge that whenever we put our best foot forward, we will always be taken care off. Well, truth of the matter is that the same applies to everyone, yet few dare to claim what is theirs.
