Sinners are asleep - Purgatory IX

Dream Elevators & Divine Bouncers: Dante's Celestial Security Checkpoint! 🦅✨

Ever been carried away in your dreams? For Dante, it's LITERALLY what happens! 😴 Our sleepy pilgrim gets snatched by a golden eagle—medieval frequent flyer program activated!—and wakes up mysteriously transported to Purgatory's VIP entrance. Talk about sleeping your way to the top! Saint Lucy (not waiting for an Uber) personally delivered our poet while he was catching Z's. 🚶‍♀️💫

Approach the ultimate cosmic checkpoint where an angel bouncer sits on a diamond throne (flex much?) ready to mark Dante's forehead with seven P's—think of it as the world's most painful loyalty card that gets punched as you climb! 🔑 Our celestial doorman whips out his two keys—gold for authority, silver for discernment—proving heaven takes its security protocol VERY seriously! The gate swings open with a screech that would make your garage door jealous. 🔒

This canto brilliantly teaches us that sometimes our biggest spiritual elevations happen when we're not even conscious of them! 🙏 The three-step entrance (confession, contrition, and reparation) reminds us that even in the 14th century, real transformation required more than just saying "my bad!" And those seven P's? A humbling reminder that personal growth means walking around with your flaws literally branded on your forehead—medieval accountability at its finest! #DivineComedy #LifeLessons #CelestialTSACheckpoint
