Some of you might believe that you will go, or might go, or at least should go, to heaven.

And so, you might even be annoyed by the title of this article.

Fair point.

Why on earth, you may ask, should one try to avoid going to heaven?

I’ll tell you why.

The problem with heaven is that, for most of us, it is in the future. We might end-up in heaven, but we haven’t’ reach heaven as yet.

And so, there is always the anxiety that we might not go to heaven. And this causes many of us a lot of pain and suffering.

And, of course, there is an even worse possibility.

Not only might we not end up in heaven, but we might also end-up in a worse place. The other place. Hell.

And this, usually, multiplies the anxiety.

But here’s the good news.

By following the method that avoids heaven, you also avoid hell. You may not end-up in heaven, but at least you won’t end-up in hell either.

So, what is it that you have to do? To avoid going to hell and heaven?

It’s actually very simple.

Here’s what you need to do.

Don’t. Go. Anywhere. Just. Stay. Here. Put.

And you won’t go anywhere. And since both heaven and hell are both somewhere, you won’t end up in either place.

Just try it. You’ll see just how simple it is.

You did?

Simple, isn’t it?

DALL.E
