Spirituality requires purity of heart.  

Impurities block your spirit from connecting to the holy, to love and peace, to positive emotions and attributes.

Those blockages will impact relationships, including those with your children.

Impure hearts create unclean minds and, even worse, manifest as delusions of grandeur in abusive exercises of power, causing harm, pain, and suffering.

Delusions of grandeur are not relationships and abuses of power are not control.

Without purity of heart, there is no way to see the Lord or connect to the Holy Spirit, or enter Heaven's Gate.

Without the ability to see anything holy, you cannot see with clear eyes, and if sinful, then you will see through eyes covered by sin.

Then your choices and decisions will be based upon those judgments, not with the holy, but what those eyes can see covered in prejudice or sin.

Because we must be able to receive salvation, we need to periodically check ourselves to make sure that our hearts are pure and we have purity of heart.

If the check involves looking deeply in the mirror and prayers of confession to the Lord (and for those that are mystical aura checks), then we need to regularly go for these spiritual checkups to make sure we are still within line with the Lord.

Because if we cannot tell the difference between holy and unholy, good and bad, then how do we expect to teach our children to know the difference and guide them towards the path of salvation rather than damnation?

In damnation is a terrible way to die, because then the damnation becomes unredeemable.

Therefore, we should make haste to make peace with the Lord as soon as possible before we die so that we can be saved.
