Edit: You can maybe argue that to experience paradise in Hell is to allow yourself to fall into the sway of corruption and become demonic so that you might enjoy the satisfaction of preying on others. Trust me, there are beings out there that experience EXTREME satisfaction for harming others. It is practically what they live for. Thereby, you have gotten with the program and no longer experience misery, because it is bliss to cause harm and not be the one receiving it. Or perhaps program yourself that you like having damage inflicted upon you. But you toss away morality and integrity entirely and become something that only lives to satisfy itself.edit on 3-11-2013 by AsherahoftheSea because: (no reason given)

But I chose to fight and change things if I can.
This universe is not a thing I want to be "one" with.

Conflict often shapes us into something stronger, and I'd rather be conflicted over the state of the universe and where it seems to be heading than at peace with it.

A country or state might seem utterly at peace, but underneath it all is but a nation controlled by one with a drove of mind-controlled slaves attached to it.
Life is full of fear until it is seen to be all love. Life is eternal - so it will be a fearful existence or a loving one.

What I feel is not fear. And certainly not fear of cessation. There is more to fear if there is something after life, regardless as to whether it is heaven, hell, or reincarnation.

You are trapped by the problem of evil. It's the hardest
problem of all for a caring person. Took me 50 years
to resolve.
On the other hand, say an Advaitist avoids the problem
of evil by hiding in the void. I have various friends who
do this; they aren't worth tits on a boar hog to anyone;
but they have their 'peace' (the final delusion) because
they refuse to take the final step.

I find it ridiculous at times how people come out with the strangest theories on Christ's story. The only way to uncover the truth is to go back to the source.
