Makes me wonder though.........does someone need to be educated and intelligent enough to understand the life lessons to stand a chance of getting to heaven ?
Just invite in the Holy Spirit. It is the Helper Spirit and it will guide you and teach you.
We are all equal in potential ability and intellectual potential. The Holy Spirit is the Great Equalizer.
We all have the capability to understand life lessons according to the gifts which our Creator, Who is Love, has gifted us.
Why would Love Itself create a child and and withhold from that beloved child the tools to be with Love in eternity?
Designing a creature so that its only choice is to suffer eternal damnation is the opposite of Love.
I found that reading a scripture and then using contemplative prayer is one of the best learning tools. That process brings on the experiences.
When I read St Teresa’s Interior Castle, it makes complete sense. The same is true of many other church teachers including Luther.
However, the same is true when I read the Bhagavad Gita.... or the Upanishads or Swami Ramakrishna Paramahansa. They are all describing the same process.
