So what you're implying is, that we only are in hell when we don't believe ourselves worthy of heaven? I'm sure you're right in some cases, but to set that as an absolute rule? I believe it is easy to get stuck in this material world, to see only money, fame, crime and deception as an easy way out. Those people do not perhaps know they are in hell, and thus don't think they wouldn't be entitled to heaven. Again I have to advertise Don Miguel Ruiz's book about the four insights. He says that hell is all around us, but is subjective. That no one else can know our hell since they cannot be us. (I cannot believe I've posted 200 posts to this forum. This behavior is becoming alarming. )

I can live with the difference....Shimoda told the people that their only job was to be happy, and they went ballistic...being happy is not comfortable for very many people ...being "unreasonalby happy" (quote from Dan Millman's Way of the Peaceful Warrior) is beyond most people's imagination....to be happy when there is no earning, no reason....smacks of the devils work for my more puritan ancestors... I will continue to work with the shamans until I can purge those kind of beliefs from my cellular structure.
My experience says the I create my own hell, when I can not see a way to heaven...
I love Don Riuz Muiz's books....Have you read the newest one...The Tree of Knowledge? I haven't quite finished it yet, because I read his stuff s.l.o.w.l.y....a page of two at a time, then time out to ponder.
