Hubbard and his hellfire ministers are continuously threatening you will go to hell.
Yeah, okay, so what is the definition of hell?
This always reminds me of a line in an old Tom Waites song ~ 'There ain't no devil, Just God when he's drunk.'
Hell? On a karmatic level this would be all the 'anti-life things' one has done in this lifetime once one no longer has a body to ground to. All the unresolved conflicts, actions, tortured thoughts, that a person may carry into the 'great beyond'.
In a simplistic way I will attempt to give my quick take on this.
Abstract action against living beings, in this case we'll just say humans, causing pain, confusion, all the fun stuff, causes the victims to put out thoughts towards the victimizer, victimizer will carry that burden upon their soul from one place to the next (if there is a 'one place to the next'); ya can call it a thought form, an engram, the shite upon your shoes, what-ever.
The hell is that, it cannot be escaped and must be worked through within one's being until it is worked out and resolved. Some souls will spin on the spits of this hell until they dissolve into nothing, or work it out to continue this journey through time and space.
This concept I present is neither new, nor profound in my honest opinion, just common sense that most humans know in their own hearts.
At least this is my (atm) 'simple take on things'.
Live a good life and do no harm, remain calm and just, and love all that is worthy with all your heart and soul.
This is the creed by which I live, within the 'great spirit' of the universe. I may be wrong, but hell, I'll take my chances.
Not a rant, just a little thought du-jour fer y'all.
