Gloria Copeland Touches the Truth, but Recoils & Calls It Something that Fits Her Hypocrisy

In a 'recent' (or was it one of those 'from deep in the archives'-pieces) article, Gloria Copeland (of Kenneth Copeland Ministries) claims that "a lot of Christians are going to be shocked when they get to Heaven (I almost stopped reading right there) and discover what really belonged to them when they were on Earth." Reminds me of how I thought that 'when I grow up, I'll go out and do a job, and they'll give me money.' And that's probably the same myth I want my children (nieces & nephews, at least) to believe ... until they "come of age" and find out that--though that's probably how it ends up--it doesn't happen in that order ... first you go out and 'make a contract' (whether you're scouted & offered the job or you look for listings in a 'HELP NEEDED'-section & apply for the position or etc.), THEN (if your previous experience & education & ability & availability are chosen by the employer) you get money for your service there. The way 'the goin` `ta Heaven'-thing actually works: you die and--at least 'in your brain's last moments' (after your body shuts down and your brain starts to rest)--you see that everything went just the way it was meant to go ... whether you made some bad decisions, whether you were dealt a bad hand (a bitter cup which Our Father did not let pass); it doesn't matter, because--no matter whether you profited highly or were dragged into poverty--you were going to end up just as dead. But that's not how the hypocrites' script says it goes. And the devoted hypocrites know that they've got to stick to their 'transported to Paradise-Mansions-in-the-Cloud-Castle' script or else the audience (who comes to get help with their Paradise-Mansions-in-the-Cloud-Castle) will 'change the channel' or 'sit in a different stadium' where they can hear some more of that 'good ol` hypocrisy!' https://preformus.blogspot.com/2018/09/hypocrisy-hypocrite-hypocritical.html 'The Truth that Gloria touched and recoiled-from?' (Makes me think of "that place you dare not look" from DUNE) Her "going to Heaven" is actually 'realizing you WERE in Heaven the whole time, and you refused to believe that's where you were!' (and maybe she said something like that in the article, but I can only stomach so-much hypocrisy at one time) I'm also reminded of a central tenet of Nichiren Buddhism: The Mutual Possession of the Ten Worlds. (In short, that each human lives in a combination of Ten Worlds ... that the world you live in is thus shaped by your focus ... and two of those worlds are "Heaven" and "Hell.")
