really, the earth is hell.......i guess it's as if god the father sent us to our room but forgot to unplug the TV and games console.

the idea does seem to be quite a recurring theme throughout metaphysical thought. the gnostics often expressed a version of the idea.

Well, maybe it is for you, but certainly not for all of us. It does come down to perspective (and trust) though, as others have said here.

If you let life beat you down and see hopelessness where you should see potential, growth and the chance for a new day, then I guess you would be in a type of hell here.

Heck, no one ever said life was going to be easy. Sometimes it is very hard and could seem like a hell, but if you trust in good, you'll know that it will win in the end, and for those who put their trust in same.

I think most of the intelligent thinkers on this board realize that the invention of hell was for the purpose of controlling us. Too many clever people these days to keep us believing otherwise any longer.

The days of the corrupt church telling us all what to believe is at its end. Now come the days when were all free to find the real truth about things and enlighten ourselves in the truth that life can be a heaven as well as a hell. Which do you want to live in?

Sure you'll always have problems, but with the proper perspective and positive direction you can make good progress toward your freedom from suffering.

For anyone who may have become trapped in their own hell like place, some things you can do is, learn to see the beauty that life has to offer you every single day, and appreciate it. Be kind to all you meet, even those you THINK may be hostile towards you. Learn to be thankful for what you do have now and stop comparing yourself to others who SEEM to be better off that yourself, and things will look better. Look ever towards the light and the shadows will fall far behind you.

May the divine mother bless you all and show you the way to peace and a happy life.

i believe that this earth could be hell and we have to prove ourselves here first before we are let into heaven although i am not religous but i am open to the idea of this world being a "proving ground" for a later life!!!
any thoughts??
much love

Things are far to strange to be reality. This must be fiction. I only believe in hell on earth and I suppose my hell is yet to come.
