{"quotes":[{"text":"Regardless of your chosen faith, at the end of your life's journey, your heart will be measured in two ways. One, the weight of your conscience must far outweigh the weight of a feather. Two, any impurities in your heart must weigh no more than one feather. The purer your heart, the lighter your spirit will be. The lighter your spirit, the closer to light it will float. The closer to light it is permitted to go, the higher it will float. The higher it floats, the closer to God you will be. Heaven has seven layers. The vibrations of your good deeds, which will be reflected by the weight of your conscience and the purity of your heart, will determine the layer in which your soul will reside. Your goal is to make your heart as light as a feather. The heavier the heart, the more chained to this hell it will remain.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["afterlife","balance","chained","conscience","death","doing-good","faith","feather","goal","god","good","good-and-bad","good-and-evil","good-deeds","goodness","heart","heaven","heaven-and-hell","heavy-heart","hell","journey","judge","judgement-day","layer","life","light-heart","living","morality","religion","scales","soul","spirit","spirituality","suzy-kassem"],"id":12988,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"Regardless of your chosen faith, at the end of your life's journey, your heart will be measured in two ways.

her thighs, she gives you lifeAnd how you treat she who gives you lifeShows how much you value the life given to you by the Creator.And from seed to dustThere is ONE soul above all others --That you must always show patience, respect, and trustAnd this woman is your mother.And when your soul departs your bodyAnd your deeds are weighed against the featherThere is only one soul who can save yoursAnd this woman is your mother.And when the heart of the universeAsks her hair and mind,Whether you were gentle and kind to herHer heart will be forced to remain silentAnd her hair will speak freely as a separate entity,Very much like the seaweed in the sea --It will reveal all that it has heard and seen.This woman whose heart has seen yours,First before anybody else in the world,And whose womb had opened the doorFor your eyes to experience light and more --Is your very own MOTHER.So, no matter whether your mother has been cruel,Manipulative, abusive, mentally sick, or simply childishHow you treat her is the ultimate test.If she misguides you, forgive her and show her the right wayWith simple wisdom, gentleness, and kindness.And always remember,That the queen in the Creator's kingdom,Who sits on the throne of all existence,Is exactly the same as in yours.And her name is,THE DIVINE MOTHER.","author":"Suzy

He is usually portrayed as being half human and half jackal, and holding a metal detector in his hand ... Anubis is employed by the Department of Homeland Security to examine the hearts of all travellers to make sure they have not exceeded the weight limit for psychological baggage ... He is also shown frisking mummies and confiscating firearms and other contraband. It doesn't take much to tip the scales in favour of a dead body cavity search or an afterlifetime travel ban.","author":"Stephen Moles","tags":["afterlife","airport","ammit","ancient-egypt","anubis","customs","dead","death","denver","egypt","egyptian","feather","flight","funerary","gods","heart","homeland-security","humor","humour","jackal","journeys","maat","mummification","mummy","mythology","psychological-baggage","scales","travel","traveller","truth","underworld"],"id":246555,"author_id":"Stephen+Moles"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":20,"pages":2,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
