Your version of heaven and hell

If you are a normal, intelligent adult, then according to this video, you should not understand metaphors or expressions. When someone tells you to knock yourself out, break a leg, fall down backwards, hit the road, bring home the bacon, hop to it, go to hell, drink his blood, become a child, be reborn in a womb, he means it. 😉

A lovely Beach.... my Version of Heaven 🙂

Overcast Sky. Logs upon the Sand. The sound of the ocean. Mmmm.

my version -

This is Hell. Heaven is once we break the cycle of rebirth.

So, when everyone dies and stops coming back?

That is one of the main problems with the belief in a self.

No. The life energy doesn't ''die''. Your body decomposes, but its not destroyed. Nothing can be destroyed or created. Your life force continues on. Life force is one.

You are not an individual soul. Nothing in this Universe exists by itself. Everything is dependent on everything else.

Title of the thread is pretty self explanatory....how do you interpret heaven & hell? Do you believe in them? How do you think either heaven or hell would be if you went there?

well im hoping heaven is a cool place where we all have jobs we love that benefit other creations and the occupants of heaven or our native planets...we meet up several times during our thousand year day..and have social events food wine laughs peaceful, beautiful and great! hell I see that as nothingness after a Giant bit of pain...I dont like the nothingness idea...lol..that would suck to not be anymore...period. Thats how I see em...though many will not agree Im sure

I want it to be somewhere where I can spend an eternity with family and nothing unimportant is really a subject. Somewhere where we can spend an eternity with those innocents who have passed and the like.

Hell = bad.

Heaven = nice

Yet, it is here and now.

With free will we have a choice

Your life is only a book, with each chapter in the current moment. When lying on your death bed, what would be your regrets on your happy ending or sad ending.

After we all kick the bucket, then nothing changes but our creative choice. All is in the mind which never dies, imo.

I think our spirit travels somewhere. I believe in an eternal paradise. We all have to believe in something.

I believe energy force like what you may call a spirit/mind/etc, would never end.

It'll end, or if it doesn't, it'll transcend/ascend to Heaven.

It's your choice.

Why do you think people of all cultures and believes all have come back from a NDE and it was all totally different?

Huh? Could you clarify that statement a little more?

Truthfully, I believe you have to have some sort of belief, and whatever you believe is where you go. I think I'll go to heaven with all my friends & family. Even if heaven isn't exactly the way we think, I think there's places separating the good from the bad, that's for sure.

Youre thinking "inside the box," Who is to say that what you believe is "the truth."

No one, but it's what I believe. No one knows the truth about where you go, but wherever we go, more than likely it's all in the same place. Hell, for all we know we may come back reincarnated or something to that extent. I don't particularly like the idea of reincarnation but there are many options as to what happens when we die.

No one? You came up with that believe on your own? Expecially the Hell part? Hmmm, don't think so, dear
