Does Heaven and Hell Exist

HEAVEN AND HELL

It’s all relative, up for debate, and frankly a universal discussion that is deeply rooted in the fabric of mankind and secular institutions for centuries. Some of the world’s greatest operas of artistic and literary works and religious texts describe both existences so vividly — yet the sources of “proof” and/or “imagination” are in question. But if we contemplate the idea of “heaven” (paradise) and “hell” (agony), we can speak of the two polar opposites through what we know best—our own life experiences.

It would seem probable and perhaps obvious that the majority of humans would choose to live in paradise — if one truly existed here on earth. The absolute comfort of love, joy, and personal interpretation of what the ideal existence would be is of course up to the beholder. But if we ask ourselves, if given the opportunity of creating such perfection, would we appreciate and accept it?

Three simple words: Adam and Eve. However if the majority of humans were asked if they would choose to live in hell—if it truly existed here on earth, it would seem probable and perhaps obvious the answer would be no.

Ironically, why is it that many of us decide to create a hell on earth rather than heaven? I can recall many times from childhood through present day of being a receptor to the stories, news, and updates of others—that described various forms of suffering, fear, heartache, and uncertainty. Yes, there have also been many beautiful recounts of successes and joy, but usually said briefly rather than at length. With age, life experience, maturity, and intuition, I not only listen but now I ask questions to either understand what is being said to me or to see if I could possibly provide support and guidance (when called upon to do so). From personal experience and through those of others I’ve come to learn this: it is entirely up to us to either create or destroy our happiness — which in turn could signify the proverbial “paradise/hell” that we’re responsible for within our everyday lives.

There are situations and circumstances both of manmade and natural impact that alter our individual and collective paths. But if we’re able to make conscious choices of finding a sense of inner peace, stability, and confidence within our strength, even the worst of events that happen pass by with a bit more ease and clarity. If we operate on the contrary by allowing others to take hold of us and we cause ourselves self-inflicted harm through damaging words, doubts, and behaviors, then what happens externally only becomes that much more unbearable and difficult to navigate.

Sometimes all we know is the feeling of numbness, detachment, pain, and isolation so it’s safer to remain in a place that is “normal” to us. But something inside may signify to get out, take action, and know that there is something and someone awaiting us on the other side that is kinder, more gentle, and hopeful. But first, we must await ourselves and find internal points of “paradise” within our personal contexts before we can live it outwardly. This also means accepting that life itself is a series of radiant  bursts and dim shadows.

So ask yourself, where is it that you’d like to live? If you respond authentically, that’s the end goal and the journey to get there is equally as enriching. I’ve lived in a personal hell and I’ve lived in a personal paradise…light outshines the darkness. It’s a perpetual that seeks the creation of either a Heaven or Hell on Earth.

The physical outer world is always a mirror reflection of the inner spiritual world. The mounting planetary climate change an extension of escalating climatic conditions among humans that only seem to change in the degree of intensity of violence that is perpetrated against the earth or humanity.

Yet, one way or the other, with or without we humans as fellow travelers, our Planet Earth will continue, undeterred, on her cosmic journey towards whatever unknown destination.

We have the power to choose whether Heaven or Hell shall constitute our Earthly experience. This  is what people should be taught above all else. Only then can the rest of our education make sense.

Unfortunately, secular education in the Western nations is not based on spiritual truth. Instead, it is  controlled by ideologues who work for the wealthy and powerful controllers of society.

Of course the more we learn of the past the more we see this is simply not so. The idea of a  progression in human affairs is based on one phenomenon only: the development of science  and technology.

With respect to the history of art, music, poetry, literature, and even the general level of  spirituality or state of consciousness, the typical modern man–us– is revealed as a brutal  and vain sensualist, unable to think or act freely, and afraid of the slightest fever, skin  eruption, or subcutaneous pain. We are told where to live, what to eat, and what material  possessions to covet.

In other words, we modern men, though divine in our essence, act as weaklings and cowards,  pathetic in our manifold needs and desires, yet only too ready to conquer others, even torture  and kill for supremacy, in order to enhance our own tenuous sense of security that disappears  like a mirage at every moving shadow.

In fact, man today has not progressed at all when compared to humanity of the past. Rather,  he has degenerated by every definition that matters. It is the chiefs among these degenerates  who are the controllers of society today.

It is the most angry, cunning, dishonest, grasping and ruthless among us who rise to the top  of every institution. They run the governments, the corporations, the institutions of higher  learning, the intelligence agencies, the military forces, and above all the banks and investment  houses, particularly the central banks that create money at will. In fact money was invented  for one purpose only: control.

Last but not Least, The Mind In Its Own Place And In Itself Can Make A Heaven Of Hell And A Hell Of Heaven. :

There is a saying that both heaven and hell coexist on earth. It means that whatever joys we experience in this life is the real heaven and whatever sorrows and distress we undergo in this life constitute hell. What actually matters is this life. And this life depends greatly on our own mind if we keep our mind health and happy, we will be able to experience true bliss which we get in heaven. If a person can keep his mind pleasant in spite of the sorrows and difficulties he faces, he experiences heavenly bliss. But there are people who are always sad and dissatisfied. Such people even though wealthy and healthy are unable to experience true bliss. They feel they are living in hell. So what matters is the mind. A happy mind can make the surroundings seem heavenly. But an unhappy mind only makes the surroundings unpleasant as hell. If we do good things and lead a clean and godly life, that goodness itself will fill our minds with happiness so that we will find this world as good and pleasant as heaven.
