The reason for limiting heavens migration is based on the ratio for producing wisdom; who live from the subconscious truth: unconditional-love (honest: full: :sincere: of the heart: spirit-man:wise: truly intelligent) and the narcissists (fake: :empty: natural: religious: animal-man: believes solely on their perceived intelligence), this man/women, father/son, ying/yang temporal symbiosis is the way of eternal life (YHWH)
