Q. I am watching a program regarding whether or not there is a place called “hell”. A friend who was with me asked, “Do you believe in hell?”

A: Here’s what I feel. I don’t believe that there is a place in universe called “hell”. The people who believed in God the most, also believed in the devil, and the devil it seems, is the spokesperson for hell.

I have felt for sometime that whatever hell we find ourselves in was an effect of a bad decision.? In other words, we created hell and it is we that suffer, and we still believe that the big heaven is somewhere else. So, the basis of my upbringing was “Be good!”, “Don’t steal!”, “Don’t drink!” and a bunch of other stuff that doesn’t make sense either. But later in life, I realized that there were two great laws that we broke, and that’s where we began going to hell.

The first law is the destruction of our body, the abuse of every part of us that happened with every breath we take, and it goes to some hell, somewhere. We enter marriages and bring children onto the earth ?--- the highest ideal of our existence we disobeyed and we shattered the dream. And when we abused the body, it was inevitable that we abuse the ground that we stand on, which is the second law we broke.

So, the effects of our habits are hellish.? We are not being punished by some unknown entity. We are punished by our own ignorance. We wasted our life believing in rules and the leaders who presented them. It’s time we grew up and matured. The reason why we at Our Place say that there is no one to follow is simply because there is no one to follow. It is a myth that grew out of our weakness and doubt, the truth is we follow only our highest thoughts. ?

When we finally grow out of God and heaven and hell, we will be happier and healthier. We will eventually have an honest government and food that is cleaner and more nutritious.? We will also have a new reverence for the highest production on earth --- our food. And the medical industry will concentrate on two important tasks: First, they will treat the victims of accidents --- strokes, accidents etc. And second, they will teach people to take responsibility for themselves and eat the correct food and think deeply about it all.

Most persons were born into a belief in God under different labels, and most of them didn’t get along. So, from that point on, everything we believe in is the bias of this belief. When I first contemplated this way of thinking, it frightened me, and in that position, I truly understood the phrase, “no man’s land”. I didn’t know where I was going, I just knew that what I came from left me sad and in pain, and when I was told that I only have a couple of years to live, I know I would not find happiness in “no man’s land”. I had to advance my thinking and I knew I could not go back, I had to leave the past and go forward.

Once the decision was made, the doors just kept opening, and sometimes, I was completely overwhelmed by this way of thinking. We cannot honor and believe in any system that has to be constantly praised and validated, for instance the system of marriage which is a failed system that has caused much unhappiness and tears all the way to the system of medication and treatment that kill us, and it all began in our thinking. However, the way home is not through our thinking, but the cleansing and nourishing of our cells --- the power house of our potential.

Now, we can clearly see that our situations can be fixed. I’ll wait for your remarks.

All the very best,
