Visions of hell?

This is only what I feel so........ but here go's, I think you need to get in touch with your heart wisdom and this will help you get an answer from your higher self/ spirit.

That's nonsense... I have no higher self. I am my own being, and I certainly don't have a clone sitting on his lazy bum in heaven deciding each and every moment of my life as if he's playing the Sims.

I'm not trying to convert you or stuff like that, just sharing.
But I now feel I must explain more about the higher self/ spirit / spirit guide.

The higher self does not decide anything at all about you and your life.
You have to ask first, its like when you pray.

I feel it's possible for some to confuse "Heart" with "emotional responses of the ego-Self".
There is a tremendous difference. It could be a semantic misinterpretation going on there.
Emotional responses of the ego Self may be powerful influences indeed. But the Heart is like the clear sky beyond that. And the place where glimpses of God's work can be seen. And true compassion, honour, grace, kindness and unconditional Love.

Well if I have a higher self then it better be someone like Joey Demaio. But as I said, I am my own being and therefore I do not believe I have a higher self.

Also, a spirit guide is not the same thing, just saying. But each their own views I guess.

The teachings of a hell in the nt= symbolism for the value of what is lost by those who are not allowed entrance into Gods kingdom.
Day after day--each new day dawns eternally in Gods kingdom--those missing out miss each new dawning day-eternally, it never stops.--likened to a place of suffering.

Thanks kjw. Amen
