I have to agree mostly with Lissa & Jeannine. Very well said! I do believe that in each life, you pick your life's lesson to learn, whether it's good or bad. I've read there are certain native tribes (can't recall the specific ones, JS you might know more about this) that believe that in the afterlife you end up with people who were like you in your physical life. If you were a good person & did good things, you would end up with those types of people, if you were bad - well I guess that would be a sort of hell in itself. As far as a physical heaven & hell - I definitely think that is an organized religious thot' process of controlling people in their physical lives to some extent. -- Spirit World

In reply to: John Scott 's message, "I know, I know, I have not posted here for years. Hiya all! Sorry I have been away, I got lost in living the adventure. Hey I have a question, "Does Hell exist?" If so where? Who goes there? Can it exist in christianity if God is everywhere? I know Heaven exists, I married an Angel. Love you Martina." on 14:56:50 08/15/03 Fri

[> Boy this is a hard one to let go! Martina I think you're right too, I have never met any Christians who were able to explain all the discrepancies & contradictions in that religion. I think "Spirit" is everwhere, and is ultimately good but I have to wonder what completely pure means. I think sometimes that evil can be something as simple as a bad choice or as complicated as a whole lifetime of bad choices. Spirit gives us these choices to make and because everyone is different, we make different choices, thus making our own "heaven" or "hell". Somedays I feel like I've made my own hell and other days I feel like I'm in that perfect place - even if it's only for a few moments. Phew! I must have worked out too much tonight. My mind is just mush thinking about all this hahahahahahahahaha -- Lori again, 00:46:55 08/17/03 Sun
