Hi, There are a lot of misconceptions about the afterlife especially what is termed hell. When we pass from this world to the heavenly life our thoughts are exactly the same we do not suddenly become angelic and all knowing. We find ourselves surrounded by those who have exactly the same thoughts and outlook as ourselves. Look at your self objectively and then you will know where and the type of souls you will be with. There is no such thing as hell fire this is a Myth made up by religion. If you are a very evil person with very evil thoughts whilst on earth you will be with exactly the same souls when you pass. We always go to our perfect place. The perfect place for us to progress. The instant you think differently you progress and are with those who have exactly the same thoughts, beliefs as yourself. There are absolutely no physical defects if I may call them that without offending (only the memory). Our spirit our soul or I prefer consciousness is only thought. The better we think the more we have progressed. We obviously cannot see thought here or in Heaven so we automatically remember what we looked like to those who new us, or as we would like to look, maybe how we were in our younger days or as how those remembered us during our time on earth.
