Alittle Update and a good story from last weekend

HI Everyone! Its been awhile since I have been on here and that is for acouple of reasons... I come hear mostly to listen to people and help if I can, or if I feal I need too, but the last few months have been very trying for me and I was losing sight of the important things in life for a minute there. I needed to step away from the internet world and focus on my life at home. everything has worked itself out now though and I am back.

So this last weekend I was with my buddy chipper and his girlfriend. Chipper is a long time buddy of mine and has been a huge influence in my journey so I have a very tight bond with him. everytime we get together we read eachother stuff we have found to be interesting and we get into deep conversation. All three of us decided we were going to try to read/guess things that the others were thinking about. So we started with shapes and then moved to colors. It was amazing how many times we were all correct. I would say high 90%. Just thought that I wouod share that with you all and ask a quick question....
While we were all chatting the subject of heaven and hell came up. I dont view heaven or hell as a place. If it even exists. I think that hell (or whatever you want to call it) is a absolute lack of divinity. A complete seperation of your conscious from your higher self(god.) There is light and dark and if "heaven" was made of pure light "hell would be the absolute absense of light. Complete and utter darkness. Do any of the enlightened population of this forum believe inthe concept of heaven and hell? If so, what do you view it as>?

 

Nice to "see" you again, Leathal.

I've been in heaven, and I've been in hell. To me they're both states of consciousness. Hell is torment, and heaven is bliss.

When I'm in hell, the universe is full of suffering and evil, and so am I. God is there, but God is evil as well. There is no purpose to anything, unless that purpose is to bring about more suffering.

When I'm in heaven, the universe overflows with blessing and goodness, and so do I. All things are in harmony and in a state of perfection.

Both are very real when I'm experiencing them. However I have to say that I believe hell is more of an illusion, and heaven is closer to reality.

 

I don’t know if there’s a heaven or hell, but I had a most remarkable dream once.


I was surrounded entirely by clouds floating high above a large transparent tank which contained bizarre devil-like creatures with horns, claws, and tails. As I was floating above the tank I felt entirely at peace, and yet as I looked down into the tank I felt empathy for the creatures below


Was it merely a dream or was I given a glimpse of heaven and hell, I don’t know but it was incredibly realistic.
