The Bible: Hell is same as 4th density STS?

[Shin'Ar]

In the Old testament budding into the New testament, there was a hebrew word, sheol if my memory serves me right, which refers more to the mass grave site where corpses were cast much like a public landfill. It was from this word that the word hell was spawned.

Sheol is more like where all the dead go, regardless of moral character. Similar to Hades of the Greek tradition. Although in some Old Testament verses which refer to the "righteous" and the "wicked" (as handed down from Zoroastrianism) Sheol becomes more identified as the place that only the "wicked" go when they die.

What you are thinking of is Gehenna, or the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which is where corpses were burned outside of old Jerusalem, as Horuseus pointed out. It was also where apostate Israelites and followers of various Ba'als and Caananite gods, sacrificed their children by fire.

Thank you for your clarification Tenet.

And I would not argue the translations as there are numerous situations where a word can be translated to mean one thing in one verse and be used in a different context in a verse elsewhere.

It is my understanding that the words themselves, are bound both to the originator and the interpreter as the process of being which connects them, and it is there, in that sacred place where the two become one, that meaning loses context with reality because the very reality of meaning is never singular, and always a continuing process of interpretation of following and succeeding connections.

This is the Process of Divine Design.

Any attempt to alter that divine process of continued 'Being', into a being of one immovable and unquestionable point of void fact, denies the ever changing and always questionable Mystery.

This idea of hell is comparable to every other idea of man as he attempts to move in the process. His thoughts and speculations become ideals of faith and belief so dear that to abandon them is to abandon their very souls. All of these faiths and beliefs are the results of interpretation between originator and interpreter, between one and the other. Their confusion and chaos as natural as the differences between the experience of the infant and its mother.

Each must walk with their own subjective experience and interpretations of it.

Hell is the evolution of this process and has become many things to many people, but is always associated with the idea of one's soul being somehow sent into a descent, rather than an ascension.

The Christian hell is not really any different than the descents of countless speculations and comparisons which have been made long before Christian ideologies were formed.

All have been linked to this thinking that there is a consequence to the soul for not achieving ascension, which means many different things depending on one's cultural ideologies as well.

Hell is thought, by those who perceive the inability to ascend, either into a Christian heaven or a higher Being, to be a place of the opposite, which would be a descent rather than an ascent.

And thus we have developed, as beings of a planet with a very mysterious curiosity about what lies deep within, beliefs around some deep and dark realm within the Earth, below us, where down is the opposite of up, where hell is the opposite of heaven and where descent becomes a bad thing rather the glory of the ascent.

This thinking has been managed differently by many of the great cultures, like the Land of the Dead of the Egyptians and The Hell of the Christians, but all are bound to the same efforts to understand the descent and ascent of soul; or the Mystery of Self.

When considered in an overview from The All, hell, or whatever one chooses to name it, is really nothing more than 'that which man cannot know until death opens that doorway into the great beyond.'

And of course, it has been the case as far as we know on this side of that doorway, that the truth of beyond is not shared with us by those which leave us behind. At least not in ways which can be universally agreed and confirmed, without debate and doubt.

Whether in the bowels of Mother Earth, or the astral arms of the Great Spirals, hell is, and always has been, The Mystery constantly evading capture. The Mystery that man, in his delusion of divine stature, commands to stand still, and yet observes only from the distance of consciousness, not his own, alone.

It is only when he observes through eyes, not his own, that he truly observes a glimpse of a Mystery which he then knows he shall never catch.

If you could actually reach into that mirror and become the other you see there, not as your self, but as the opposite of that which you believe to be self, you would grasp the Mystery in your clutches and stop it cold.

But because of Divine Design there is none that shall ever accomplish such a feat. By design all we can do is 'connect', and further interpret.

Hell is the sand which separates The One from The Other.
