What is hell? I think it’s a state of confusion and suffering. People say he’s living a Hell – in a Hell realm…You just can witness someone he’s living in a Hell real and he’s living just in a pain and confusion
Let’s see what Jean Paul Sartre said “Hell is other people”. That is hell is not getting along with other people. Hell would be get hell is being afraid of other people to just draw on existential thinking hell is being uncomfortable in your own skin hell is not being a comfortable animal I like cats cats will flop down on the ground and be one with the Earth and be in total Bliss I want to be as comfortable on this planet as my cat is hell is probably a result of of trauma in which we got so afraid of being ourselves being around others afraid of punishment afraid of danger that we are weary and paranoid then we’re afraid of people all the time and it usually takes the form of anger but anger is thin it’s it’s sorrow it’s a sad loneliness and the fear that keeps us from solving it by moving toward other people constructively and lovingly that would be the worst hell I think we can come up with as human beings hell is being being trapped in our own separateness in our fantasy of not being connected to others in our fears that keep us from reaching toward others and forming relationship and Community hell is that awful loneliness ultimately it is separation from ourselves it it is being so divided within that we don’t even know what our body is feeling that can all be fixed that is a project that one can come to terms with
Well from my made it was very clear that there is no eternal hell and Damnation – that made zero sense. Part of that of course was my recognition that reincarnation is the only way to make sense of so many facets of this journey. That our souls come here again and again all in that process of ascendance as Soul groups um towards that Oneness with the Divine,ut it occurs over many incarnations not one and is a beautiful tapestry so there is no eternal hell and damnation,ow the life r you you know.
That old saying your life flashes before your eyes – I think many, especially those who have handed out lots of pain and suffering to others, will have a Life review where they have to feel the impact of their actions on others. They and when you hear life reviews – and I hear many of them – from the thousands of people I interact with, in my talks from ordinary people who have had these extraordinary near death and shared death experiences and then have a Life review. If you’ve been an evil person your life review will look exactly like hell. The thing is it’s not eternal. It’s a corrective mechanism. it’s a way that we then in reuniting with our higher soul. And of course realizing that in the Life review boundaries of self disappear.
Because the lessons of a Life review come from our feeling the impact by becoming the other beings around us. And feel feeling the results of not only our actions but our thoughts. This is a very powerful kind of concept that comes out of the near-death experience literature. Life reviews go back thousands of years and that is what I believe the notion of Hell comes from is from – the Life review of people who have led particularly difficult and challenging lives of handing out pain and suffering.
It is the self-made up identity which inherently has a belief that it’s a body. So it’s the body identification that is hell. That is the cause of hell because in the body identification “I am separate from you – we are different” etc etc etc. None of that is true. We’re not different. We’re not separate. So what happens yeah the body changes. For of course everything changes in this in this world that I made up. That tree behind me is an old old mango tree. Another 50 years that won’t be standing there it be gone but what what happen what happened actually is nothing happened it just changed form. So the energy that you and I are which is unlimited takes a form but it has nothing to do with who we are so the teaching that the West – which is that the body the mind is in the body and therefore it always teaches the unity of Mind and Body.
It’s that uneasiness is that unhappiness. It’s the sadness in things that you don’t take time out to fix in your life that you need to work on. You create your own hell. I can give you a prime example. My dad was like you know he came from a very Primitive Baptist religious backdrop. His father was a minister and his older brother was one he was a Dean in the church and they live by the Bible and the judgment and all of that stuff that. They go through he would do that on Sunday but Monday through Saturday he was Hell on wheels. You know hateful mean abusive to my mother, abusive to me. He resented the fact I was his only child and was gay or he was you know you are Hell Bound yada Yada yada. And I saw him three days before he died three years ago and that evil it eat him up. And I said he is headed straight to hell. Why? You know why? Cuz he didn’t want to – he did not want to forgive himself forgive for me. For being and and accept what God had created me to be – whether it was against his religion or whatever. And he took it to his grave. I gave him every opportunity. He swore from down “I’ll never accept it I’m not going to go there” I said “That’s a choice you made you on your own well”
I think the devil is is sort of like a a a cartoon character that’s that we’ve created in their minds according what people have told us s all that is as. I see it you know I don’t buy into it because it’s not authentic. You see right through it I mean we all God give us all common sense to know right from wrong. We just don’t do right all the time and expect something different. But the difference is none of us have the right to judge and that’s where a lot of traditional religions go wrong if you live a good life it’s Blissful. If you’re a dick you’re going to hell
Well a lot of people are worried about the idea of going to hell. They don’t realize they’re already there because anything that is not Heaven Is Hell. You know you think of all those things that that people put in books/ All those drawings of what hell looks like you know people burning to death and being decapitated and all their limbs all over the place and all these ugly faces well if you really think about it that can happen to you here you know you don’t have to go to hell to have that happen that can happen here because this is hell. Because anything that is not perfect Oneness with God is not heaven. So there’s the two things right there. Now sometimes it can seem like fun being here but that’s Duality and eventually it’s all going to turn to crap. I’m not saying that cuz I’m a pessimist, I’m just saying that because it’s a fact. That’s what happens and what we want to do is we want to go back to a world where there are no opposites. Where there’s no such thing as is death and all these terrible things that can happen and that is heaven. And ultimately that’s the choice that needs to be make made you can keep choosing with the ego and stick in hell and and stay here or you can go home which is the opposite really of hell.
