I sound this way because I'm scared to death of going to hell

WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?!

Look, I've been to hell, in an OBE. Sure it's a scary place, but people don't stay there, especially not for not believing in Jesus. Besides that, Jesus himself told me he saves EVERYONE, not just the select few. His love is too vast to condemn people to eternal torment.

Please, relax, and try to step back from your fears.

Personally, I feel if you want to embrace Jesus, do so because you have a burning love for him in your heart. Not because you're scared to death of what you think he would potentially do to you (I.e. Send you to hell). Christianity is all about a Relationship, and no one wants a relationship with someone who's afraid of you. Wouldn't you rather want someone who loves you for you, if the tables were turned? I know I would.

As for synchronicity, there could be a chance it's at play here. We control our external reality to some extent.

If there is no hell then why do I also get signs showing me there is hell

Why choosing the wrong answer means an eternity in Hell? You make it sound that it's only under the Christian God's 'rule' that there is Hell. So, suppose that the wrong answer is picking Christianity, that means Christianity's argument is false, so there is no Hell and you can't spend eternity there... this way, being Christian is a 'safe' bet, but the question is, do you want to be in a religion for that reason?

I am sorry, but as a Christian, I believe that Hell and Heaven are metaphors. I cannot prove it to you, no and I doubt anyone can. I think the reason why it cannot be proven is exactly because it is a metaphor, just like other religions have other metaphors for what happens in life after death and how our souls handle 'sin' or 'malicious acts' and how they handle a good, sin-free life. It is only an imagery, just like the Greeks had invented the image of the Furies to personify deep seated guilt and its resulting trauma, for example. I believe it is more important to be a good Christian/Hindu/Buddhist/Muslim or whatever you choose to be. In the end, I think that the Christian or any God's criteria for 'sending' people to Hell are not what religion they identify with but how good of a life they led and how respectful they were of the world around them.

True, heaven and hell are also mental states. The only reason I went to hell in an OBE was because mentally I was very unstable. If I'd been in a much better place I'd probably have gone to heaven in that trip instead.

Look I need to find out what happens after death, proving ether the bible is right or synchronicity is right is the whole key to doing that

Ask21771,

The title of your post says exactly what is wrong: "You want to stop getting signs....."

There is only one way to stop getting the signs you've received....and that is to tell yourself that you want to START getting other signs...

Here's why....

The Universe is the objectified mirror of invisible Consciousness...your consciousness! The "signs" are the Universal Mind reflecting back to you what you are most focused upon which is....."the very signs you want to stop seeing", get it?

Accordingly, the Universe gives you precisely, what you have told yourself what you want. What you tell yourself IS true, is reflected by the Universe back to you....AS true....exactly as a mirror does.

What to do ? Change what you are focusing upon internally. The process doesn't work to give you what you most strongly want. It works to give you what you most strongly feel.....

The Universe always says YES! to what you most strongly feel...not on what you don't want to feel. Big difference!

Concentrate your focus on the "signs" you want to see....

....not upon signs you don't what to see.

It is the direction of your internal feeling that focuses the power...that is then mirrored as what you see externally.

Hope this, and these references, below, help you start seeing what you need.
