What is Hell? - By: Shirlee Hall

To understand hell, begin examining your own perspective. As one who has been privy to a life of visions, mystical knowledge and the ability to see discarnate animals and people as well as geometrical forms, variations of radiant light energy and subtle locations that do not have a material form, I obviously have my own opinion based on firsthand knowledge. I frequently come across information both ancient and current supporting the view that has appeared so naturally in my daily life.

The doctrine that God can be incarnated in human form is found in both philosophy and religion. The bodies of human beings are affected by the positive or negative state of the mind. What is true in the physical holds true for the lower invisible planes close to earth. Some teachers refer to this zone as the astral plane or twilight zone. The Sirens mentioned in The Odyssey,Homer recounts how Ulysses, while sailing off the island of the Sirens, stopped up his companions ears with wax, so they wouldn't let themselves be seduced by the women with melodious voices, who would divert them from their route so as to devour them. The Sirens are one of many symbols representing the beguiling influence of the psychic world.

Many humans become entrapped in the psychic energy and fall under the spell of a discarnate whose intent is to control and play with a gullible human. If people nourish the subtle psychic world with obsessive thoughts of evil, egotism and rebellion, a discarnate with similar energy will connect through their emotions. The mind affects what happens to us. Ugliness, disrespect, selfishness, fear and cruelty can be experienced whether we are in a physical body or physically dead and living in a subtle energy body on a lower astral level. From a cosmic point of view, all of us must move toward the Center, God, our Source. If you draw a circle and place a dot at its Center, that is where hell does not exist. For most people, they live on the periphery where duality, uncertainty, fear, selfishness and suffering is a frequent visitor.

We need to extract ourselves from a limited point of view and begin to see our real and eternal identity and the identity of others as sparks of the Great Flame. The cosmic view understands that our basic essence is the energy of light. The truth of who we are and what we experience is the direct result of how we see ourselves and whether we attract and expand the light within us and allow it to illuminate our consciousness. If we remain on the outer rim of the circle, the radiant light is basically snuffed out. If we understand hell or evil as a great distance from the center of the circle and our placement in the scheme of things, we can grasp why a disruptive state of mind is an experience that feels like hell. Hell is separation from the Light of God.

If our light, spirit, is dim, we are miserable on every level whether we are dead or alive. During healing sessions, I have been aware of earthbound souls who have attached themselves to different body parts of the patient. The intruders do not understand the substance called Light nor are they interested in finding the answers. Earthbound souls live in their own hell, which includes spiritual ignorance, confusion, anger, sorrow and selfishness. They are lost. Many times they have absolutely no idea that they are. The energy that they live in appears normal. The following is one example from my book, Be-Embracing the Mystery.

A young woman was brought to our home that smelled of death. She was anorexic. As I stood over the woman, I became aware of a subtle entity, a stranger to me, who turned out to be the deceased sister of the ill woman. The dead sister was very much alive on the lower astral plane. She selfishly wanted her sister to join her and was influencing the sister by encouraging her not to eat. The plan was working. I sternly lectured the entity about moral issues and that she must leave her sister alone. I prayed and called for angelic help to come and remove the earthbound soul. The soul of the dead sister was escorted away. A healing took place in the mind and body of the emaciated woman. It did not take long for the young woman's health to rapidly improve. She went on to enroll in courses of study that would provide education and treatment for ongoing health, diet choices and enhancing her own sense of self-esteem.

Hell comes in different forms. Hopefully, the departed sister will evolve in her consciousness and respect for life and discover that the only reality worth discovering and accepting are the splendors of the divine world.
