Paradise.

Paradise is not just some boon we can get for ourselves.

Paradise is the domain of God.

And as such it is tied to the process of Salvation.

Salvation is the gradual cleansing of the persona through faith and prayer.

Once we have established contact with God the negative aspects of our personality just fall away.

This is because these negative traits are rooted in fear.

And God's steadfast Love casts out fear.

And because God is wholly good we become good people.

We no longer feel the need to attack others to defend ourselves.

We no longer need to control people.

We no longer need to dominate.

These things are caused by deep-seated fears.

And we no longer need to accumulate money and possessions.

Because with God there is always enough.

And so as we draw closer to God we become better people.

There is no fear in God.

And God looks upon the heart.

There are only two things in the world:

Fear and Love.

And when the fear is gone there is only Love.
