Answer 1

Oops... I misread the question... that's what I get for being up past my bedtime : > Hope you don't mind if I try again.

Why am I going to Heaven? Well, there are many reasons but chiefly because I acknowledged the error of my ways and asked for help to change. At that instant, the Holy Ghost literally lifted the veil and entered my life. What an event that was; even as a poet, I am at a loss for words to define it.

Bathed in a blue-white light, like shimmering peace, something happened that felt was as if a weight of a thousand pounds had been lifted from my shoulders.
I thought for a moment that I was going to levitate...the Buddhist equivalent of enlightenment or Nirvana might explain it. Extraordinary as that experience was, it was not the highlight of the event.

You see, there is a barrier (the veil) between us and the spirit world. The spirits are not allowed through to us unless we invite them (that's the trouble with witchcraft, Ouija, channeling, tarot and the like...it invites 'em and you have no control over who answers).

That veil also shields us from completely understanding the purpose of God, His Son's sacrifice, the exquisite grace bestowed upon us AND understanding of the Bible. Human knowledge must be understood to be loved, but Divine knowledge must be loved to be understood.

When God lifts the veil, you KNOW. The Bible suddenly transforms from dry history and oblique meanings to love letters written to us, personally, across the ages. In that instant, you understand the meaning of grace (which is favor bestowed upon someone despite their unworthiness), the meaning of Love (which means no fear...there is no fear in Love) and the true destructive power of our sin. It's both breathtaking and frightening at the same time.

So, I'm going to Heaven because I acknowledged that I was screwing up, asked God to forgive and help me, and experienced the Holy Ghost (essentially the spirit within God) as it cleansed my past and left hope and wisdom in its place. The hard part is not grabbing it back from time to time; being human, I like to think I have some measure of control. Ha. Ever want to hear God laugh? Tell Him your plans.

How do I know it's real? My life has changed immeasurably; I have profound, unshakeable peace that not even cancer and MS has been able to destroy. How cool is that?!
