Heaven and Hell on Earth?
January 19th, 2010 Akiane
The environment of my life was exceptionally inspirational and positive—the experience was a truly heaven on earth. But not everybody had such circumstances in life like I had.
Through my visionary experiences, I feel the pain of other people as deeply as their own. I am convinced that here on earth there is also hell: if you don’t think that it exists— think again!
—Darfur, 911, Auswitz, Stalin’s exiles, Pol Pot, Hiroshima and countless others.
Then there are 815 million people worldwide who go hungry every single day: millions who suffer from malnutrition, diseases, slavery, homelessness, physical mutilations, gang rapes, robberies, imprisonments and abuses of every imaginable kind.
What about
Depression that results in suicides, divorces that result in split families, unemployment that results in hopelessness, eating disorders that result in weakness and slow death, or millions of children trapped in a horrific educational system resulting in apathy, drug abuse, peer pressure and a waste of time.
Those who have not experienced hell on earth have no awareness of real suffering.
To me Hell is also a state of mind, the scorching heat of anger, the envy and control. And what can be worse than our families being separated or killed?
Already here on earth we have our own challenges: from man made to natural disasters— too much—way too much for our hearts and minds to handle.
Imagining an eternal future that is even worse than this life on earth would paralyze us and control us with total hopelessness!
This misconception was created only for power and control.
I know people who are sure they have been saved for an eternal bliss in heaven, but who extend a helping hand just because they expect a reward from God.
I also know people who would sacrifice not just the time or money, but their life out of pure love without any expectation of a prize or praise. In fact, many of them are not even sure, if there is another life after this at all! Yet, they lay their lives to total strangers for nothing in return, only because they couldn’t have done anything less.
Heaven does exist within us and outside us; I also believe we can create our own heaven here on earth, not just for ourselves, but for others as well.
