Becoming A Monk

When you're Catholic or as the Evangelicals claim: ROMAN CATHOLIC--you have Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, and Limbo; thus, you don't need the negatively-inherited sanguine sufferings of Christ--you need an astral travel agent. Nope.
Whether the multiple afterlives given merit by Mystic Scribes in Hindu religion, or the Shinto Origination; moreover, even the Abraham-Crafted Religions offer a plethora of Paradise. If people wanna save up their Bad Karma and resurrect it in a Perpetual Soap Opera where your girlfriend always cheats on you with an "even" more wicked man; then, that is your choice; indeed, THERE, it will be an eternal challenge, but that is Chicken Soup for the Malevolent Soul. Hence, choose your adventure. Siddhartha inheriting the Buddha, having a synergy forged by way of restraint, knowing: "We suffer cause we want things." So, shave your head or get an American Buzz-Cut, forget the hungry eyes of a flirty woman, and eat rice or a plant-based diet all day; plus, partake of the occasional piece of Christ-Caught Fish.
I have been a pile of dung. Hoping to make new friends within the Trans-Corporeal Ranks of the Celestial Hierarchy. If the Christian God is the only Name in the Multiverse; next, why did the shy Moses have to wield the weird of a Supernatural Staff to defeat the Egyptian Deities? Therefore, Monotheism is axiomatic in that: Perhaps the Abrahamic God is the Most Divine--the Supreme Ruler of all the gods. Nevertheless, the Book of Exodus clearly describes other super-mundane life in the continual cosmos.
So, be a Monk (maybe), getting Purgatory outta the way, but I still need a myriad of mind-bending lessons downloaded into my Cyber Soul if I want a peaceful forever. As a result, you can do anything. And if you make it to Heaven without an afterlife purge of your eternal existence, all the guys in Purgatory will say: "Yeah, I learned that in Purgatory. What you--you never went to Purgatory?" And the sublimity of a Saint will offer: "Nah, didn't go to College either. And with the American Health Care Plan, I actually got by pretty nice."
