Is this Earth Hell?

How do we truly know what people feel Xan? Did you not say that? If we are fully connected......is it about compassion........or acceptance of what is?

Then there is the insidious hell suffering such as poverty and lack of education or employment. I cannot shut my eyes to the fact that many people suffer daily with apathy and depression as well. No it's not fair to say that life on earth is all wonderful and is what you make it, etc. The reality is that people suffer on earth and so I agree with you.

Thank you! - Glad that not everyone here is stuck in the 'It's all Good & it's all Love & Light' Paradigm/Delusion.

Somedays 'living' seems like hell- no point , no directions, painful and nonsensical.. each day I or someone struggles to 'live' and what for?

The goals have to be achieveable and many are not.

You may say ask the spirits for guidance and support and all they say " You are here to help others..leave the rest to us.."

Earthy living is hard to balance, especially in this era where superficiality is rife and has become the norm. It can be complacent and the safe option to retreat into the spiritual world.

When I consider the lives of the great spiritual leaders of the ages, my little struggles pale.


Avoid the deliberate manufacture of misery.

IMO--we can only experience change and learn to evolve--while incarnate.

I liken this World unto a classroom and MotherEarth is our Teacher. However--we (also) learn from everything and everyone that surrounds us and each experience that crosses our path.

I think that some of us must learn the hard-way and (thusly) we tend to get held back a grade (or two)--frequently! LOL

Hopefully--we eventually learn what we need to evolve and move-on.

Peace and Love on our path to the Eternal Classroom...

Blessed be...

For me, it is a hell, but it can be so much more. either way its all a dream as we make it up.
