I'm a Christian thinking of leaving as I'm losing all my faith in God for various reasons, the thing is I'm scared of going to Hell if I do.
Please can someone tell me, is there a Hell or do we all go to the same nice place when we die.
If there is a Hell is it like anything portraid in the bible? if not then why is it portraid like that in the bible, is'nt the bible meant to be God's word?

If you ask me, biological life is hell as much as it gets, what is worse than living in Iraq or Gaza strip with bombs and missiles impacting left and right from you and people screaming for family members they can't seem to find anywhere and searching for them in the hills of semi-alive, splattered bodies and dismembered parts.

In the higher dimensions, negative emotions usually trigger terrible landscapes and it can teleport you also into horrible dimensions, populated by horrible beings.

There are many religions worshipping many different deities.
But what kind of god is a god who demands obedience and worship and threatens to give you hell if you don't. That's a tyrant. To me it seems like the God of Christianity and the being known as Satan are one and the same thing, playing two sides at the same time, just like it happens in politics a lot of the time.


In the higher dimensions, negative emotions of any kind usually trigger terrible landscapes and it can also teleport you directly into horrible lower dimensions, populated by horrible beings.
You can always use magic there like you can do here, best served with visualizations. No matter what works best for you, a technique based on reflection is always best.
Whatever harmful intent is directed towards you, use your personal magic in a way that it reflects the attack back to it's sender. That will not only shield you, but also prevent this directed negative energy from going richoret on you and hitting  a random innocent target and of course it will teach the attacker to better not mess with you.

The only real effective weapon at last used by the dark ones who are intending harm is the weapon of deception as it can be used to lower someone's else's shields. Only then can he be hit by direct attacks.
And there is plenty of deception used by the dark forces in the astral worlds of the afterlife.
If they, there tell you often enough that you can't fly - you won't fly.

If a person ends up going to one of these horrible places, will they be there for eternity? or just till they sort themselves out.

Reports of those who have had enough communications from beings from the other side make it seem that, since the effect is self-caused, when the conditions that caused it go away, they can move on to the next thing, whatever this is.
I know this is not too clear, but it's late for me.

I'm going to answer your original question with what my understanding of the afterlife is.

The universe is thought-responsive.  All aspects of it is.  In the material world, it takes time and space for your thoughts to change your environment.  But eventually, given the right circumstances, it does.  
When you die you leave your body behind (or rather, your 'I Am' does).  Now you are pure energy and your surroundings are experienced as pure energy.  Being energy, it still is thought-responsive, only now time and space are irrelevant.  So if you believe in hell you most certainly create it for yourself, and if the reason you believe in hell is a traumatic life, you will continue to create this hell-environment, until you resolve the reasons your life was traumatic.  When you are able to come to terms and resolve your life circumstances, the reasons that you thought hell was a reality go away, and you begin to realize you are creating this hell, and you stop doing it.  At this point, you will experience what is actually there, and are now ready to move on to something else, whatever that is.

We can do another thing with the Christian Bible, but be aware that there is a religion subforum and the historical origins and it's evolution (compilation, translations and how it has been interpreted)  has been covered pretty thoroughly.  I believe there are some old posts by Beth that cover most of this.
Good luck with your search.

When you say time and space are irrelevant I guess I don't really understand what you mean. I think they are still relevant but they are different from how we perceive them while we are here in this dimension inhabiting these biological bodies with our energy. Time and space are the two things I seem to have the most difficulty understanding. I just wish our species was a little more advanced so that I could learn the true nature of time/space and be able to appreciate them for what they really are.

Maybe I should have said 'time and space are differently relevant'.  But you are right about them being different, instead of irrelevant.  It's very hard to commiunicate these concepts.

I believe in God. I do not consider myself a christian, or any other form of "religious branch". Hell is real and eternal because time moves differently in the other planes. Meaning, 5 seconds here can be 5 secs or 1,000 life times in heaven or hell. As, for leaving a christian church no but losing faith you can. I know that God exists and have faith in him. But, by no means do I have faith in a church nor any church's ideals of how to live my life nor who gets to go to hell or heaven. As for the bible, it's a good start but not the final word cause thats God's. We are suppose to learn from it not live by it. If something in your church or it's masses is causing you to lose faith then leave. Find another church or go to the woods and pray and worship God. Take sometime to find yourself.

Another thing for those that are talking about planes hell is it's on plane and it has it's own levels just like heaven and here. Hell, is not a place to just walk around and meet and greet like around heaven or the hall of records. If any deamons see you they will come after you and try to trick you by any means. Oh, l learned the hard way about that one. They really hate it when you call out for God or any angels. So, those that think it's a joke go ahead try it I dare you. But, if and when you come back you will never be the same.

I can't speak as if I 'knew' everything, especially about the afterlife, since all we can report is what we see when we go to different realms, but I personally have been given a tour of the hellplanes, and wasn't attacked there.  I was with a guide/guardian, but I suspect that the reason I wasn't attacked is that I didn't go there because I died and thought I needed to go there, giving credence to the idea that hell, like any other plane, is an 'energetic/environmental' response that is reacting to the needs of the perceiver.  If you die believing you're going to hell, and you'll stay there until you feel you're done, and the demons that attack you are the demons of your own creation.
I do agree that time is different in the astral, but eternal and 'very long' don't mean the same thing.

Hi i could nt resist adding some input here. so here goes my illegible incoherent muttering lmao.

I think what cft is trying to say about time and space is not that there irrelevant but that things manifest quicker in the afterlife and other planes because we become closer to the source which is energy. so the closer to energy we become the easier and quicker we can use it for our own manifestation. am i right cft?

Firstly my belief is unorthodox and follows no set patterning of any religious denomination.

I belive when we die we jude our self and are put in a place that is relvant to our way of thinking and as we become more learned the higher we start to progress. the highest point not been heaven or god but the realisation that god has never been away from us.

i do not belive in hell. i do belive that due to media and religous influences that we can manifest hell if we belive in it so much. when we die i think we then condemn our selfs there until we break that way of thinking.

I think the christians and so on describe hell and label it. is a a misunderstanding. as it is a paradox. you know like how can god percieve god if god is all it is. how can love understand love if it is all it has ever known. how can good describe good if it has never done wrong. how can heaven relaise its profoundness is it has never been lost in the carnage of man or hell. so i think hell is just a paradox so that we appriciate heaven.

you know so these peopoe like adolf hitler who were evil through and through end up in a place to suit there thought patterns and then as they progress they end up in our so called heaven or in other terms the higher plane.

i guess thats a disturbing thought thinking of war crimnals murders a rapists all been in the place that we think of as pure.

and as for time and space physically kurty kurt you said you wanna understand it. whats there to understand its a man made idea and concept. they call space any thing outside our little planet and they call time any duration they can measure.

but thats all it is man made. the world would still spin with out our stupid labels of time lol and the earth would still be here so i guess our so called space would be here. yet again space is a label that creates a boundarie between two labvels which is another man made a loopy concept to make things seem more complicated as if we are seperated from outside when really this world, this solar system and the next and asia and africa and me and you were all just 1 big thing were not little parts of it we are it. we are all god and god is us.

haha am tired and cant be bothered to mutter any more. i ll rant a bit when i wake up in the morning lol
take care everyone

Kind of- I'm not sure if 'quicker' is the right word, because as you said in the other part of the post, time is relative to how we perceive- so I would say that it is perceived differently than with our physical senses.  Faster, slower, all these things are relative, so I'll just say "different".

Quoteso the closer to energy we become the easier and quicker we can use it for our own manifestation. am i right cft?
Maybe.  Or maybe, the closer this energy resonates with ourselves the more immediate the result is- who knows!!   :-o  :-D

Hi, your not going to hell because we cant be confidently sure that such a place exists. If your having doubts about the Christian God then thats fine and natural on your spiritual journey you will often go through trials when thinking about existence and the nature of reality. IMO the observable universe as we know it is pure materialistic. Life's too short to cling to religious dogma. I used to be like you until recent years i opened my mind to other religions critical thinking and new ideas. Not to mention seeing how hypocrite conservatives act is a HUGE Turn off!(But thats for another topic :P)

If you want to know something interesting take it however you want it but they are other Books apart from the bible written by supposed prophets that the early church was afraid to consider canon because of the contradictions. Im not sure which specific book but you can look up the Gnostic gospels God lets in Paul on a little secret that people who go to hell arent there for an eternity. They do get out once they find redemption in themselves and forgivness in their God. Wouldnt surprise me the early church left this out just so they can have control over so many peoples minds at the time.

Whether its true canon or not who knows i havent done much research but they is a reason many gospels and hidden books are still out their and they refuse to talk about them in church because it ruins they idea of tradition from what they been taught since childhood.

Edit: Btw in some eastern religions mainly buddhism i read off of they have their own version of hell. You wont last for eternity. Instead the karma you cause in this life pays you back in the next life. Being punished BY your sins instead of for your sins. Which kind of supports what i said compared with the Gnostic Gospel. Im not sure if you create your own hell but bad people need to suffer and face the crimes for their sin at some point right? That's like saying Hitler is gonna get off clean but its still not okay what he did. Its still up to him if he wants to be forgiven and he learned a lesson from it. But simply losing faith doesnt fit into that category so you shouldnt worry about it.

For those who believe, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not, none will suffice. ~Joseph Dunninger

Some of them were written by the same scribes (the gospels were not written by the apostles themselves, since neither could read or much less write.)  But many of the gnostic gospels were written by the same scribes that wrote the other four, the letters and other canonical texts.  The Gospel of Thomas, for example, is about 30 to 50 years younger than the Gospel of John, which is canon.  In fact, some scholars believe that John was written precisely to refute what the Gospel of Thomas said.

QuoteIm not sure which specific book but you can look up the Gnostic gospels God lets in Paul on a little secret that people who go to hell arent there for an eternity.
I have to look this up (so I might come back to change the source) but I believe it was the Gospel of Peter where Jesus told them he had gone to hell and back, after resurrection.  This may be the one you're talking about.
QuoteThey do get out once they find redemption in themselves and forgivness in their God. Wouldnt surprise me the early church left this out just so they can have control over so many peoples minds at the time.
Absolutely.  The bishop that was in charge of this (Irenaus) wrote about how there could only be four gospels because there were only four elements, and of course picked the ones he agreed with the most.  There's a part in his writings where he says something along the lines of "Let's not let the facts get in the way of the Truth", or something like that.  I might have to rewrite this also, as it's in what my own recollection, and chances are that these were not the exact words.

QuoteWhether its true canon or not who knows i havent done much research but they is a reason many gospels and hidden books are still out their and they refuse to talk about them in church because it ruins they idea of tradition from what they been taught since childhood.
I can't fault them for that, the conditions that lead to this were pretty heinous in the early christian times- the diversity of beliefs in the early churches caused so many divisions that it made them easy targets for the greeks and romans, who were killing them left and right.  So they needed a strong political position to survive and 'win'- remember that those were pretty scary times, and you had to be the scariest to avoid being lion food.  So let's give them the benefit of admitting we don't know what it was like to be them. 

QuoteEdit: Btw in some eastern religions mainly buddhism i read off of they have their own version of hell.
Yes, Tibetan Buddhism.

QuoteYou wont last for eternity. Instead the karma you cause in this life pays you back in the next life. Being punished BY your sins instead of for your sins.
It's called the Bardo state, and you 'burn off' your karma, but wait, that's not all- If you realize you've created the whole shebang, you don't have to reincarnate, and can evolve to some other way of being (like some sort of astral being, angel, god, etc.)  If you don't realize you've created the whole thing, at some point you have to go back and be born again, etc.  So it's a good idea to always remember you create your reality, because when you're in the afterlife, being plagued by your beliefs, it's easy to forget.

QuoteWhich kind of supports what i said compared with the Gnostic Gospel. Im not sure if you create your own hell but bad people need to suffer and face the crimes for their sin at some point right?
First, there is no 'Gnostic Gospel', there were many gnostic gospels, and all of them were different.  Their main core beliefs were more or less the same, but the mythology was very diverse.  But the ideas behind reincarnation and hell are pretty similar, considering that the conclusions are almost logical.

QuoteThat's like saying Hitler is gonna get off clean but its still not okay what he did.
Not really.  If you realize that we are all God in Manifestation, you have to realize that the spirit that chose to incarnate as Hitler will suffer as long as anyone who has ever suffered from what happened back then due to the nature of God (all good)- so it's not that punishment is necessary, it's that the pain of the soul who chose such an experience will surpass any possible pain anyone else can inflict.  You see?


QuoteIts still up to him if he wants to be forgiven and he learned a lesson from it. But simply losing faith doesnt fit into that category so you shouldnt worry about it.
I agree.  Losing faith is one more experience in the human condition, and the pain it causes is pretty strong in itself, considering the ideas about God and Love.  That's why it's called "The Dark Night of the Soul".

Hey Cft sorry i have to be quick as its late and my girlfriend is moaning at me for ben on the computer haha

I dont understand what you mean about the hitler thing and how the pain surpass all pain anyone could inflict.

What is the dark night of the soul?

I understand what your saying about time though. How to understand about the man made concept of time not been real and yet label things as long or short, fast or slow. it is kind of ironic nonsense as there is no fast or slow or long or short. all there is. is this moment and not the awareness of how fast or slow it is going but just the understanding that with every moment we need to strive to be our best and leech every valuable aspect of knowledge that we can from that moment before the moment disappears and leaves you marooned in a dark corner.

ok this is one of my stupid questions cft but it got me thinking read below lmao

Ok so time doesnt exsist because its a man made concept to measure duration.
so if time doesnt exsist that means we have no means to measure duration that we can understand while here on earth so ....
if this is the case how can we say it manifests quicker or slower?

so i know what you mean when you labeled it as diffrent.

its like banning all tape measures from the house and then asking how tall i am hahaha

take care everyone

From all the NDE's and OBE's I've read about among all sorts of other material - you create the reality that you will go to.  If you worship demons and things like that,  then that is the sort of world you will go to in the afterlife.  If you are a Christian you'll go to Christ.  But there is a life review and everything you do is recorded. 

I found an interesting passage from the Kolbrin Bible that it called "The Voice of God" about 3 dudes who all has the same vision adn wrote it down and it was all the same.  It was God talking to us

"Those who worship gods of their imagination, gods in strange likenesses, which have been brought into being by man's creative conceptions, will go to these gods who have an existence in a dim shadow realm. Those who worship lower spirits will go to them and those who worship the demons of darkness will join them, for what a man desires he deserves. There is a link between that which men desire and what becomes established in existence. Provision is made for man to receive the fruits of his own creations".

I was afraid you'd ask- there's no short answer, so I'll put it differently.
Suppose you are eternally good, but want to experience.  Now, you understand, that to experience, you have to exist.  Now it's fine to be eternal bliss and all that, but to exist, there has to be 'something' that exists.  And for there to be 'something' there has to be 'nothing' too.  Because eternal something is not really something, as in 'something that is.'  For existence there has to be stuff like location.  And for 'location' there has to be stuff like time and space, and dimensions (because 'being', or 'existing' has to be 'somewhere', and that's all about time and space, etc.
With me so far?
Ok.
So now you want to exist.  Now, you can exist as a pure energy, that exists in a vaccum (or space, or whatever you can think of).  But pure energy is really not doing anything.  It probably is very boring being just undifferentiated energy, that encompasses everything.  Really, that's almost like being nothing.
But now you have a point of view.  This being somewhere (let's say a point in time) allows for one part of you to 'be'  and another part to 'not be'.  That's almost like 'observation'.  And so on and so forth- and then we come to the concept of 'experience'.  Experience is not just about being, (although you can 'be' anything, you have to divide yourself and observe parts of yourself to isolate things like 'photons', or 'colors' or anything- 'cause it's just energy.

Ok, now it gets more complicated.
Let's say, that as God, you want to experience emotions- such as Joy, Happiness, and Bliss.  Now, this isn't the same Bliss that we think of when we think of God, this is the bliss or happiness you feel when something good happens to you.  (Now I've jumped to humans, I didn't want to make it more long and boring that it needed to be.)  Anyway, as God, you want to feel human emotion- but there's a problem, that for there to be the perspective of 'good' or 'happy', there has to be 'perspective'.
What is perspective?  The ability to come over here, look at something, and say 'this is good'.  The thing is, that if everything is judged 'good', there is no 'good', there is just 'is'.
So then we must admit that to experience 'good' we have to have the concept of 'suffering (or bad, or what you don't like)' to compare it with.
And then, we have all the duality (which is not really duality, it's just experienced as such) we talk about in other forums.

Now let's back up to the concept of God.
If we have the concept of God as eternally Good, omnipotent, omniscient and eternal (and I do, so I'm going to work with my concept of God, yours may be different), then you know that this means that when God chooses to incarnate as you, (or experiences what is like to be 'Fourthdimension') that the experience of God is in the core of your being, and your experience of God may be not in your conscious awareness- but there is a connection to the 'God' part of you, your soul, that is the essence of the Concept of God, all Good.
So this part of you, is trying to guide you to your highest good, and has chosen to give you willpower to either ignore this part of you or follow it, or (like many of us) spend your life trying to find out what the plan is for you, in other words, to do God's will, not because of any fear of punishment (because as God's creation or extension, punishment is not even in the picture.
But let's say that you choose to follow appearances (the world seems limited, so you feel you need to steal, the world seems evil, so you feel the need to kill, etc.) now part of you, the part with direct access to your divinity, knows this is error thinking, but the temporal part of you goes 'awry'.
Now, let's go back to the 'divine part' of anyone who commits transgressions- like Hitler, for example.
Now this guy was at least partly responsible (there were others equally evil, like Himmler and Mengele, for example).  These guys caused immense suffering- not only because of the people they killed, but the people that felt the need to follow their orders, the people who lost family, the people that were forever changed, (and by forever I mean how countries functioned, political effects, etc.)  The suffering caused wasn't only (and I don't mean 'only' lightly, I mean that it was more encompassing that we can even imagine) didn't stop with the people killed- every bit of pain would be felt by the soul of this person who is connected to what can be considered immense love and goodness.
Do you, or can you see that?  If you are truly a good person who wants to make the world better, but see your hand suddenly lift up a knife and kill someone, wouldn't you be horrified?  But, and here's the kicker, if you are as good as God must be, then instead of cutting off your hand you absorb the pain this act caused, because after all, the victim of the 'hand' is also part of you?  (Remember, as God you don't 'end', it's just an illusion).  So this would be the reason why Hitler will suffer every instance of pain that he caused to others, because all the others are part of him.  And it's not only the pain of what he did, but the pain of all that happened because of what he did.

Now, I can get into more of this, but I too have to get off the computer.


QuoteWhat is the dark night of the soul?
Google it, you can find out, and it's a very long answer.

QuoteI understand what your saying about time though. How to understand about the man made concept of time not been real and yet label things as long or short, fast or slow. it is kind of ironic nonsense as there is no fast or slow or long or short. all there is. is this moment and not the awareness of how fast or slow it is going but just the understanding that with every moment we need to strive to be our best and leech every valuable aspect of knowledge that we can from that moment before the moment disappears and leaves you marooned in a dark corner.
Ok, I see the problem of time differently.
Time is not a 'thing', but it is a measurement (it's all it is)  Of what?  Of changes in time and space.  What we call time is just what happens with the universe expanding and changing.  It's what we call 'aging' and 'entropy'.  So we measure it using celestial movement as markers.  And construct timepieces.  So it's not a manmade concept, it's a measurement of changes that we label.  So slow and fast have to do with how we compare it with something else.
Now, in the astral, the concept of time is different because change is immediate (or not obvious) so to detect it we have to compare change to something- and here's where my theory comes in (I made this up, so take it with a grain of salt)- I think the immediacy of manifestation in the astral has to do with how you compare the environment with your own energy.  If you're 'in synch' with the manifestation (at the harmonic of the frequency) you can experience time, because you are perceiving the difference from your own vibe to what's happening around you.
So you perceive it as slow or fast in relation to your own perception.  Now I'm tired so I don't know if I'm making any sense.
Good night, all.

I do think you eventually come to that conclusion.

Quoteeverything you do is recorded. 
This seems 'too' technical, don't you think?  I would think that by 'existing' you are already etching your 'recording' in the matrix.  It's not that someone's keeping tabs, is that's by existing, you simply are part of the 'vibe' of 'reality'.
Ok, now I'm really going to sleep.  This is not how I wanted to express this.

So you perceive it as slow or fast in relation to your own perception.  Now I'm tired so I don't know if I'm making any sense.
Good night, all.

Time is certanilty not easy to understand I can assure you. You seem to be on the right track but let me see if I can help,

Time is how long it takes to go from point A to point B (in space). Space can be any point in a universe. You need to picture the universe from a 3D perspective, here's a picture I have been working on but It's not yet complete, so try not to laugh.

Actually it's not bad- and kind of looks like something I came up with when I was trying to explain 'my' model of the universe to my son, who at the time was eleven.  Only mine had tentacles coming from it.

Well, at least we both seem to be on the right track. I added a few other things to the picture but I still don't know where the tentacles go?  :-)

I do think you eventually come to that conclusion.

 This seems 'too' technical, don't you think?  I would think that by 'existing' you are already etching your 'recording' in the matrix.  It's not that someone's keeping tabs, is that's by existing, you simply are part of the 'vibe' of 'reality'.
Ok, now I'm really going to sleep.  This is not how I wanted to express this.


No but almost everyone who's died and come back has maintained your whole life flashes in front of your eyes and I mean EVERYTHING all the good and the bad.  This is commonly known in all religions.  It is your brain firing off all of its memory and being. 

One really good book to read Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls..  Some of it is really far far out!  But interesting to say the least.

heheh sounds like something I would have done if I had a son. 

I always said I'd sing Enter Sandman to my son.. it would freak him out.. "hush little baby.. don't say a word and forget that noise you heard.  Its just the beast under your bed.. " hehe

My son actually learned to play it on the guitar.  Hee hee.  At eleven.
