What is 'hell' synonymous to, to you?

A place of pain, disgust, etc. Some people enjoy pain.

You know this place exists, how?

Where is it?

I know Satan. I have seen Him several times. I have tremendous amount of spiritual experiences. I had a vision Him in His chamber guarded by Draculas... Where is Hell? The reality has infinite folds. We are living in one of them.

Age wrote: ↑Wed Mar 04, 2020 6:04 am one of the assumptions and beliefs that I see you have are that you assume and/or believe that I am claiming, or want to claim, that i personally know what the actual Truth of things is.

So you claim "there is only one actual reality", yet you don't know what it is? Is that correct?

So, do you know that what YOU "experience" and visualize (what is "true" for you), is not true for everyone else? This may very well be YOUR reality, but doesn't it appear that we all have different realities?

To make claims about satan, draculas, and hell as if such things exist Universally would seem to be an attempt to rationalize one's own troubled beliefs: projecting them as some kind of ultimate reality/truth that no one can escape from or be responsible for. Perhaps these ideas and visions represent something interesting for you specifically?

True.

We are trapped within our realities. They seem different.

To see the truth is only a matter of time. I thought for a period that I might be a delusional person. But I then realize that there is a fantastic coherence between what I experience. They speak to me as other people speak to me. What they say is rational so to me this could only come out of another rational being, like you, my friends, etc.

That was the start of a new relationship. I gradually realize what Satan is and why He does things accordingly.

bahman wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 5:13 pm We are trapped within our realities. They seem different.

Why do you say we are trapped? What if we are the creators -- and all is perfect?

Why wouldn't a vast Universe of possibilities provide endless and evolving realities?

Where does the need/idea come from that there is ONE Universal reality?

Just as I, or anyone else, has our own fantastic experience. Why should each person perceive their fantastic experience as ultimate truth for all?

bahman wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 5:13 pmThat was the start of a new relationship. I gradually realize what Satan is and why He does things accordingly.

bahman wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 5:13 pm We are trapped within our realities. They seem different.

Because we have limited power, experience, etc.

Lacewing wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 5:44 pm What if we are the creators -- and all is perfect?

The truth is that there is no creator/God. I have an argument for that. Perfection is the end, we are moving toward perfection though.

Lacewing wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 5:44 pm Why wouldn't a vast Universe of possibilities provide endless and evolving realities?

I believe that there is an endless number of universes. But no matter how exciting a universe is at the end is a mere experience.

There is one reality, we are interacting mind through the medium of physical. The rest is just the details.

We can deduce the ultimate truth from what we experience. There is, however, one absolute truth, absolute truth is a set of indisputable facts about reality like we are interacting minds.

The truth is that we are minds. Mind is, however, an eternal entity. Eternity, in the end, becomes dull no matter how fantastic is your experiences. So, we forget then come to this world so everything looks fresh and new to us. So that is what Satan and His gang are doing, manipulating our mind so we have a chance to look for the truth that we know in the depth of our minds, following our temporary needs, etc. simply being busy for a while until everything looks dull for us again. So we are in a cycle, coming from up to down and growing from down to up.

Gnostic Christian Jesus said, "Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all.
[And after they have reigned they will rest.]"

"If those who attract you say, 'See, the Kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you.

If they say to you, 'It is under the earth,' then the fish of the sea will precede you.

Rather, the Kingdom of God is inside of you, and it is outside of you.

[Those who] become acquainted with [themselves] will find it; [and when you] become acquainted with yourselves, [you will understand that] it is you who are the sons of the living Father.

But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."

With all due respect... what "truth" are you telling me? You've made random claims that don't seem to be based on anything other than it's what YOU believe. How is what YOU believe "the truth"? Seriously...do you not see how self-serving and arrogant or desperate it is to claim that YOUR "truth" will be seen in time? Can't you imagine that there are far more fantastic realities than yours... that maybe YOU will come to realize?

bahman wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 5:13 pm We can deduce the ultimate truth from what we experience. There is, however, one absolute truth, absolute truth is a set of indisputable facts about reality like we are interacting minds.

Perhaps there aren't separate minds at all. Maybe that's an illusion from the human perspective.

bahman wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 5:13 pm The truth is that we are minds.

Your claim, based on your own interpretative experience and all of the beliefs that go with it.

How does eternity have an end?

Seriously, are you noticing how you weave these inconsistent and fanciful ideas into a story that pleases yourself? This is a common thing that we humans do, yes? Look at all of the baseless and conflicting stories/realities/truths from humankind!! Why not notice and acknowledge human storytelling instead of piling on more of it? Maybe we could have more clarity and honesty as a result...and what might we create with that? Instead of being trapped or condemned or limited by the stories, we'd be free to see and explore in more ways. And we wouldn't have to wait for an "end".

You have been watching too much Matrix.

If anything supernatural or invisible to us exists, then fractals say that there are many.

You are spouting old Gnostic Christian ideas, that we have scrapped for the reason I put a long time ago.

I am a mind. Pure and simple. I know, I have arguments for my proposals in any discussion. I have experienced stuff that leads me to deduce the existence of you and others. The reality is a game between minds. Those who know the rules know how to manipulate you unless you are a member of them. Are you a member of The Highest that imposes laws?

Let me give you an example. Suppose the best-case scenario that everybody is looking for it is defined as perfection. Suppose that you are looking to know everything. What can you do when you know everything and if the only motivation that forces you further is to know more?
