Hell is a real place and sometimes it's right here on Mother Earth. A person or entity, if they so choose, could use it as a metaphor too. But I am going to concentrate on the fact that I personally have come to the realization that hell is right here on Earth. Weather the individual believes or experiences Hell on Earth or in death it would still exist. I have to bring up the fact of Heaven here too, because one cannot experience Hell without the representation of the other side. This can be best illustrated in the book: The Lucifer Principal. The book brings into light the need for an idea and/or experience of Hell for the proper alignment of civilization's management.

This book put into light the need for civilized nations to have a belief system built around a story about a big-bad-man-beast, that takes satisfaction from gobbling up your soul, unless the believer does good works. This idea seems simple in principal more than it does in application. The "believer", at some point in Her/His lifetime, comes to the understanding that it's the illusion of the belief that gives the belief it-Self substance. Without belief it would not exist in any form: imagination or real life.

Hell only works unless the believer continues believing and applying fear to their reaction in response to that said belief. For the non-believer our leaders have created laws so that their lack of fear does not destroy other lives around them and/or themselves. Now, part of the problem is that in order to mass-enforce the laws the Government has to distribute monies evenly so that each area gets the right amount of safety. That means that a utopia-state of the state is made policy. The law becomes the creator of Hell and/or Heaven.

Let's talk for a moment about the other type of person: the one who has, say a higher I.Q.? Where does Hell fit into the trinity of wholeness? He can see the truth all around him, the solution becomes operant to him, he goes mad because no one wants to look. He screams at the top of his lungs, "LOOK at what I have logically provided for your ease and comfort, the formula is perfect." The only problem with this scenario is that his plan is all in his mind. Sorry. But until he comes up with a solution to get others attracted into believing his new way of applying judgement.

Okay there you have it, it's the "Wholly Grail" of mankind's understanding of Hell; Belief, Application, Experience. That being the use of the imagination and laws to create a Kingdom of Hell and/or a Kingdom of Heaven. Maybe it's Mother Earth: the location of Hell. Or the location of Hell is benieth our feet. We will not ever know until the moment of death. But that's the hidden secret of survival: we keep tyring to live as long as we can humanly muster weather it's in the imagination or within experience. It does not matter weather or not you believe "them" that Hell and/or Heaven are real or not. All that matters is that you put your-SELF above the suffering. If a person chooses to concentrate on evil works Good People will put them through "hell" to stop them from succeeding. It's been going on ever since the creation and/or evolution of mankind. Enjoy or suffer through your life that's all one can experience of now. Life is truly what you make of it: Heaven or Hell. Both are as real as one experiences. Hell is real if you suffer and a metaphor if you do not.
