If you want to reach Heaven or bliss with God faster, detach yourself more and more from a purely human way of thinking.

It is our human way of thinking that mucks things up so badly. Listen to what the Mother of Jesus has to say on this topic1 :

“But I want to teach you the perfection of detachment. A perfection which is not a single event which, when overcome, does not present itself again. But it is perfection which presents itself hundreds and hundreds of times in life. Or, rather, in a year or a month of life. Consider the sum of eternal graces coming therefrom. It is being able to detach oneself from one’s human way of thinking.

What is human thinking composed of? Half, of resentment; a quarter, of hypersensitivity; and the other quarter, of selfishness.

“What is human thinking composed of? Half, of resentment; a quarter, of hypersensitivity; and the other quarter, of selfishness.

“Does a neighbor graze us with a corolla or a feather? Oh, to the extremely sensitive human self that being grazed is more than a whiplash, more than the point of a gladius penetrating and searching! Egoism then explodes: ‘I am the king, and I don’t want offenses of any kind. I rule and don’t want resistance to my will.’ And hypersensitivity and merciless egoism then breed the resentments which do not fall way and attachments to one’s own ideas.

“My Son thus said, Si vis perfectus esse, i, vende quae habes. And I say to you, ‘If you want to be perfect, come, place your way of thinking, attachment to it, and, above all, resentments in my hand. I shall throw them onto the pyre of Charity. Do you think they are made of good material? You will see that they are not gold, but straw that bums and leaves heaps and heaps of ashes. Think as a daughter of God.

“Do you see my Son? He is under the cross, with the crown on his head. But He does not think of Himself. He says, ‘Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over Me, but over your sins.’

“That’s enough. Go on following Him to the top.”
