Who goes to hell?
Recently one of the posters on this site stated that a friend told him if he didn’t state he was a sinner, he would go to hell. I would like to talk about this, as this is very inaccurate.
Hell is a place in the astral plane of the earth that is like an energy belt. People of “like” mind congregate together there, or hang out separately. It is NOT a place that God or Jesus sends you to. Your own state of consciousness draws you there and keeps you there until you re-embody on earth, or you are drawn out by love, either from another who is sending you love through prayers to help you, or by yourself as your soul begins to see a higher truth, and chooses to allow love in.
The essence of energy that we call God is always tapping at the door (ie consciousness) of every soul, calling that soul back to the truth of that essence, which is pure love. The statement that love is the glue that holds it all together is so true! Some souls choose to reject the love that constantly taps at their door, instead embodying hatred toward others. It is this hatred toward love itself, in other words toward God, that causes a soul to descend into hell at the end of their embodiment.
Many souls who are atheistic or agnostic, or who are just too busy or involved in carnal pursuits during their lifetime, are drawn to a place in the astral plane that is filled with a similar type of consciousness. The astral plane is a plane of illusions where the soul can continue to act out his/her fantasies, fears, pains, guilts, desires, lusts, etc. What one experiences in the astral plane is strictly what one believes and desires to have. Many souls drawn to this plane of existence do not believe in God or love as a unifying force for all mankind.
Those souls who fall into pockets of hell DO believe in God and the love essence, but are so angry with God that they cannot let that love into their hearts. Often they blame God for something that happened to them to hurt them or another they loved. Many of these souls also feel anger toward someone who has “stayed in the light”. They may feel rejected by someone who did not “fall” lower in consciousness. They may feel they are unworthy to come back to God because of the hatred they feel. They feel “separated” from the light, and thereby “rejected” by the light and not welcome. They often feel they have no choice but to stay “out of the light”, and so go to hell as the place where they feel accepted.
Some of these souls desire to return to the light, but are not willing to let go of their hatred or carnal desires that caused them to fall in the first place. Others remember being rejected by the light when they “screwed up” somehow, internalizing a sense of unworthiness so bad they do not feel they are worthy to return.
No one is condemned to hell, to their states of lowered consciousness. These souls can be helped to return. It takes a lot of love and understanding to help someone to return that has descended this low in their consciousness, but it can be done. It takes getting these souls to see that they really are worthy to be loved by God, to start to own the true nature of their beings as the Christ, as a child of God made in His image. IF someone needs to first realize that they have sinned, it is only because that soul needs to start seeing the error of his/her ways in order to stop that behavior. Personally, I believe more souls will stop “sinning” if they begin to believe in their true natures as the Christ, as God, than if they start to believe they are sinners first. It defeats the purpose of owning our true natures as the Christ to first own that we are sinners. If a soul does need to believe that he/she is a sinner in order to pull oneself out of a spiral of carnal pursuits, then perhaps claiming that one is a sinner is a good thing. But it’s best to see this as a “temporary” step to pull oneself out of the mire. A self-realization of what one has done to hurt others has helped a lot of people get back on the path of love. But to continue to affirm over and over again for the rest of their lives that they are sinners only keeps that soul stuck in the place of “sinning”. So I recommend that all of us own our true natures as the Christ rather than owning that we are sinners.
Does this mean that we do not need to recognize that we may have done something that is a misuse of God’s energies? Of course it’s important to recognize that in ourselves. But then take that information, ask forgiveness, and re-remember who we really are, our true natures as the Christ, even as Jesus was and is the Christ.
Saying “I am a sinner” over and over again does not take us to the most important step of all, that of owning there is no separation between us and Jesus, of God, or that essence of love. Don’t see any proof that you are that essence of the Christ, even as Jesus is that essence? Don’t worry – own your true nature and the proof will come. The more you BELIEVE, the more it will manifest. It’s already the truth, it’s just a matter of re-remembering it.
