Hey Albert,
You still don't seem to get it. ES believes that many who were taught that the trinity includes separate deities, when they see their loved ones and hear that heaven is based on God the father, the son and spirit as a unity - many of these people, no matter catholic or protestant, or non christian get the concept of God as a unity, and accept love as the driving force of heaven. (for ES this is love of God and love of one's fellow man).
Yes, ES says God and Christ are one. He says that pagans (non Christians) who are loving enter a loving heaven - but to him, it meant that they are taught about the structure of heaven based on love.
You should know that ES never said that people are condemned to hell or a hollow heaven, by anything but by their own second nature, and degree of loving God and their fellow man....
What ES is saying is that loving souls, when shown around so to speak and being instructed, usually accept the truth as obvious, no matter if they were catholic or non-christian.
If ES entered into his exploration of the heavens or hells with pre-conceptions he would not have come up with the concepts of PUL; of pagans admitted to heaven based on their loving nature.
Admittedly, ES had his own "interpretor" and must have put some spin on what he encountered, but he was meticulous, and very logical and methodical. He did not want to just write down what he was told, but rather the cosmology all had to fit together and pass the sniff test.
Even as a non-christian, I find ES to be open minded and loving. Not at all the kind to bar any one group or person from heaven. When you read him saying that people of certain beliefs don't get the love that the universe is built on and don't enter heaven, he states this not as a proclamation, but an observation.
Matthew
