Hello Hazuki,Yes, what I'm saying about your eternal self, the Higher Power, and the myths of the church, especially the hell thing, are absolutely true, without a doubt. There are volumes of evidence, from a wide range of fields, all saying the same things. You are an eternal being having a physical experience. The Higher Power and people on the unseen realms of life are working to help you grow spiritually and have a happy life. And there is no judgment, condemnation, or hell in the afterlife. On the other hand, who is it that says there is judgment, condemnation, and hell? Just SOME of the preachers in SOME of the religions. What do they base their teachings on? Their own guesses and their interpretations of their ancient texts. But there are 2,600 religions in the world today, and many more than have come and gone. 2,599 religions think each of the teachings of religion #2,600 are untrue nonsense. They all feel that about each other. And within those religions, many feel that others in the religion are teaching heresies. They're all teaching that the others' ancient texts are mythologies or evil works. The reason is that they're all based on old stories and mythologies that just have no basis in reality. And the hell myth isn't even taught in Christianity's ancient texts. It's not there. It was added by the church, so even their own texts don't suggest that myth is true. Now, just to the Christian religion. Virtually all of the theologians and scholars in the Christian religion today agree that the hell thing is simply a pagan myth adopted by the early church. The only ones hanging onto it are some of the fundamentalists and some in the mainline churches, especially Roman Catholicism, who are trapped in the old teachings that came out of a primitive age when people thought the Earth was the center of the universe. All the theologians and scholars who have studied the origins of the church beliefs today dismiss the hell thing as an abomination. Most importantly, look at the evidence yourself. Read my descriptions on the Web site at 30ce.com. Then look at the testimonies of the people who are in the afterlife who have been communicating through mediums and after-death communications. They all say there is no such thing as a hell. There is no judgment. It just doesn't exist. In the first century CE, all people, scholars and common people alike, thought the sky was a canopy with eight concentric crystal spheres on which the moon, stars, planets, and other heavenly bodies revolved around the Earth, that was the center of the universe. Beyond the canopy, God lived. The stars were pinpricks in the canopy through which the light from God's abode shone through. That's the primitive world out of which the hell myth was born. It wasn't in Jesus' teachings, the Acts of the Apostles, or Paul's teachings. It just didn't exist. Then the church originated it in the first and second centuries out of nothing, and Dante and Milton created the fiery world people think of today as hell. They were poets, not theologians or scholars. I can't tell you clearly enough that no one with any knowledge of the early church, the Bible, and what we know about the afterlife today has any doubt that the hell thing is just a terrible mythology that has to die, just as the idea that burning people accused of witchcraft and slaughtering native peoples who didn't convert to Christianity had to die. Those are primitive superstitions that have been very harmful to humankind. Let the hell thing die. It's a terrible myth. Love and peace, Craig
