The awareness that this “world” that appears to be separated into “good” and “evil,” “self” and “other” is nothing but a dream, and that, in truth, all is one, that everything is the same one thing.
In total righteousness, there is nothing to fear, nothing to gain, nothing to lose, nothing to change and nothing to improve. Only total love for what is.
When I understand it this way, it’s easy to see how righteousness leads to heaven.
Righteousness is not an exhibition of morality, but a recognition of reality.
