HEAVEN AND HELL

 

 

What is heaven?  What is hell?  Where are they?

 

Some say heaven is pure happiness, whereas hell is pure torment.  Some say it is a state of mind.

 

The Earth before was flat.  And at that time, the people became so evil, so corrupt that God decided to punish the evil ones.  So he made the world round.  But Noah and his family were not wicked and so God spared them from His wrath, commanding him to build an ark with which to save himself and his family.  Then came the deluge.

 

Because of water movement, the inhabitants of the land were displaced.  Where did they go?  Down to hell.  Where is hell then?  Hell is that place where the pull of gravity is most intense.  It is a place where all the material and worldly things are concentrated, namely material riches, honor, glory, lust, etc.  In effect, there is no freedom in hell because one is confined and pulled down, perpetually magnetized by the things of this Earth.

 

At the center of Earth is a ball of fire.  Just imagine how uncomfortable it is to be there!   There is no happiness there because the true essence of happiness is freedom: freedom to move in the entire universe, freedom from hunger, from material things.  And those at the center are hopelessly bound to the things they search for on Earth, unless a savior, Christ, comes and pulls them up away from the intense magnetic pull of material things whose force emanates from the center of Earth.

 

No wonder it is not lucky to stay in a basement because it is nearer the center of Earth than the surface.  Besides pranic energy from the heavens can hardly reach the basement.  That is why there is ill-luck.  The basement attracts Earth-bound spirits like the dwarfs.

 

The surface of Earth is purgatory, where people are tried and tested.  It is a school where one learns the three elements of God: Will Power, Intelligence, and Love.

 

As a child, the training starts at home on the three god-like qualities.  A child is made to obey his parents. When he disobeys, he learns how not to follow the commandments of God.  But when he is obedient, pretty soon he is on the right track of spiritual development.

 

A child is made to study.  At first, he is forced;  then he obeys without question.  Later, he prefers a special group of friends and, instead of developing his Intelligence, stunts his growth by taking drugs.  Thus, intellectual Awareness is hindered.  One is led astray in life from the path of righteousness, from the path of self-development.  One learns not only in schools but in the university of hard knocks.  Whatever he learns are attributes that are embedded in his consciousness that will not cease to exist.  That is why the mystic or hermit keeps on learning either by reading or meditation, but more by the latter.  One can learn faster by meditation for he allows universal consciousness to descend on him and the holy spirits or angels now and then whisper and guide his thoughts.  This is the importance of meditation..

 

In his adulthood, he is exposed to various temptations.  Either he wins and therefore weakens his urges.  Or he gives in and strengthens his urges for material things.  Example: He wins a woman and enjoys mutual carnal pleasure.  After a while, he is satisfied.  He should stop there.  He had learned his lesson and satisfied his curiosity.   But if he looks for another woman, gets satiated, and repeats the cycle, then he is overwhelmed by the experience, he fails.  He becomes a prisoner of lust.  When he dies, the pull of material things being quite strong will imprison him in the center of Earth.

 

Once these two --- Will Power and Intelligence --- are mastered, and then Love should follow.  Christ showed us the way.  He overcame all temptations on Earth including laziness when he traveled around the world.  From the brightest teachers on Earth, he perfected his Intelligence.  Finally, he took the seven tests of the Essenes Brotherhood to master his will power.   He showed his Love for man by suffering and dying in the cross for man’s salvation.

 

One learns Love if he has converted his love for oneself to Love for humanity in general.  Loving humanity is loving God because men are tiny images of God.  Love of oneself is the prison cell of one's spirit.  The spirit cannot communicate with the external world.  Loving humanity is not only loving your family, your friends, your immediate neighbors, your nation, but more of banishing from your system the tendency to oppress, to exploit, to envy, and to withhold help when one's assistance is badly needed.  It is removing from your system all traces of hate, revenge, and anger.  These are negative feelings that will pull you down to Earth.

 

When one dies, either he is pulled down to Earth, confined in limbo, the place of suspended animation where one is on a waiting list for him, or part of his spirit, to go down to Earth and take removal exams.  This limbo is outside the pull of gravity on Earth, as one who is deeply hypnotized when told to regress will recall his being a crying baby, then confined in the womb, and finally feeling himself floating in space.  In here, he can move freely.  He  can even go to the moon; but he cannot go to the stars.  His freedom is limited.  He is on the waiting list of spirits who will have to come back to Earth to relearn his lessons.

 

But while on Earth, if a man has mastered the three: Will Power, Intelligence, and Love, then he will overcome the 40 dimensions of the universe and reach heaven, where God is.  This is ultimate freedom.  But once in heaven, one's spiritual evolution does not stop.  Heaven is the celestial firmament up there where you can move anywhere, where there is complete freedom.  Your ability to move is dependent on your level of spiritual development.

 

When one repents, he is forgiven.  That means, he is given another chance to relearn his lessons on Earth.  That is why the child upon being born cries "UHA"' --- meaning "Thank you, Lord."

 

Jesus Christ came down to Earth to save man and recover from the devils the three gifts intended for man --- happiness, riches, and immortality.  The devils are right here on Earth while their true place is in the center of Earth.  The devils refused to repent.  They are contented in their world of illusory freedom, world of myopic happiness.  When Jesus Christ reincarnates again, He will not be as meek as before.  Either they give the gifts up peacefully or He will take them away invoking His divine will.  The devils will have no choice but to give them up.  If they give them up voluntarily, then they will have a chance to repent.  Once they give up voluntarily the three powers, then the world will experience peace for a long long time as the conflict between the devil and man would have been reduced considerably.  Man will gain the upper hand in his battle against himself, against the pull of material things.

 

However, if they refused again, then the wrath of Christ the King will be unleashed.  Woe unto the devil who stands on the way.  That devil could be reduced to the elementals.  The others, seeing God's determination, will surrender meekly and give up the powers which are not theirs, in the first place.

 

Thus, God will show the world who is really the boss.  Then the world will experience unusual spiritual awakening.  Majority will now repent and devote most of their time to spiritual development; that is, to self control --- the development of one's Will Power, the enriching of his Intelligence, and the outpouring of Love from his heart for his fellowmen.  This Love will be infectious as to contaminate even the hardened criminals.  By then, the world will realize the limits of material satisfaction.  They will opt for spiritual fulfillment.

 

God will be pleased and finally He will render the final judgment.  Each spirit will now be made to choose: His kingdom or that of Satan's.  Majority will opt for God's kingdom.  The others who are still Earthbound will choose Earth's pleasure in Satan's kingdom.  The end of the world will come.  This means God will stop the reincarnation of man or the creation of new spirits.  The fusion of material and spirit, in other words, will be stopped.  This is the end of the world.

 

Those who will choose Satan's kingdom will find the place to their liking. They will be infinitely happy in their limited way.  Because of the low level of their spiritual Awareness, they will not be able to appreciate the happiness in heaven. It is like this. The weak will be satisfied in climbing a portion of the mountain and enjoy the limited view.  To him that is the supreme contentment he could get.  But to the strong, strong in Will Power, Intelligence, and Love, he will not be mollified with the bird's eye view.  He will climb to the top and feast on the beauty around him.  He will enjoy and enjoy more with the thought that he is more privileged than the fellow down below with the limited view.

 

 Thus, all created beings will appreciate God's infinite mercy and justice.  They will honor Him forever.
