A Heaven Path Abstract

I guess now would be a good time to give an abstract of my Heaven Path philosophy.

The Heaven Path consists of two components, a philosophy and a practical methodology.

The philosophy is fairly easy to expound. For every human, there is a path that leads from their first moment of willful self-determination to their death that, if followed, will result in the maximum possible fulfillment for that person.

The path is different for each person, and is determined by every factor that affects the fundamental nature of that person. These factors include genetic inheritance, the time and space coordinates of birth, and complete environmental conditions experienced during development to the point of self-determination.

The Heaven Path is a philosophy of navigating, or more properly, wayfaring this path, and in so doing, achieving the maximum fulfillment in the time available.

This is not a complicated concept.

On the other hand, effectively finding and navigating ones Heaven Path is somewhat more involved.

One is at first tempted to think that merely following ones whims will accomplish the same thing.

The problem is that humans are easily obstructed, and are continually supplied with distractions that, if pursued, will waste time and resources and, ultimately, provide no fulfillment.

This brings us to the second component of the Heaven Path philosophy, which is the practical methodology.

The practical methodology is a minimal routine of activities that if practiced regularly and sincerely, will assist the Heaven Path traveler to overcome obstacles and ignore distractions along the way.

The practical methodology is called Sub-ascetics. I chose the name sub-ascetics to denote the fact that the practices were ascetic in nature, but did not actually require the ascetic’s renunciation of worldly life to practice effectively. There are two main categories of sub-ascetic practices, that of physical exercise, and that of meditation.

As we proceed, I will discuss both the philosophical implications and the sub-ascetics practices, and there effects, in more detail.
