If you want to be certain
of going to heaven--
or it's preferential equivalent 
to your way of thinking--
all you have to do
is be clear about what is important
in each situation as it arises,
and serve that with the gifts
of your original nature
and your innate virtues/attributes
throughout the time left for living.

You don't have to be right about it,
you only have to be clear about it.
And you achieve clarity
by waiting for the mud to settle
and the water to clear
from the vantage point
of emptiness,
stillness
and silence,
and the collective wealth
of your experience.

This sounds as though 
it will take a long while,
but with practice,
you will zip into clarity
just by recognizing the need for it
and applying the process
with confidence in the outcome
and enthusiasm for the adventure.

With time,you will become
increasingly right as well as clear
about it,
and you will take your place
along with Jesus and the Buddha
and all of those who have known
what's what and what's to be done about it
through the ages,
and live as a blessing
and a grace
upon all who come your way.
