Claim. A divided person whose mind and body are still at war cannot enter heaven; mind-body unity, achieved by making the body absolutely follow the conscience, is the precondition for spirit-world entry.
Elaboration. SMM treats the inner war as the root of damnation, not external circumstances: “Where is the root of heaven and the root of hell? They are not the world. The world of the Last Days is neither heaven nor hell … it will always be in your mind and body” (4.3. The body should harmonize with the mind, 263-199, 1994.10.4). The doctrine is exclusionary: “Those who cannot unite their mind and body cannot go to heaven. They are not true beings” (ibid, 303-264, 1999.9.9). Conscience is recast as a second-order divine presence: “You did not know that the conscience was your second God, the central aspect of your existence. You have to attend it more than you attend God” (ibid, 253-45, 1994.1.1). The practical ascesis is forceful — “Your conscience should constantly occupy the opposite territory” of the body, expanding limited territory into the infinite world (ibid, 254-221, 1994.2.13). Spirit-world entry requires the war ended before death; afterward it is too late.
