Hell is simply a place we create for ourselves when we die, but is a creation that is a result of our own ignorance. When we die, if we think physical life is all there is, we will create that physical life in the next plane, the Lower Astral Plane. However, because that Plane is entirely dependent on thought and what is created there, all the physical negativity that is carried with us in life is created there by us in death.
What we fear the most becomes real. That's the Hell that we exist in when we don't know better.
What is it about old people and buses? I notice this a lot when I travel on a bus, to and from work. When an old person is about to arrive at their stop, while the bus is still moving they pull themselves to their feet, holding onto the rail really tightly so they don't fall over. Still, before the bus stops moving, they make their way to the exit door, holding onto the rails as they move, always almost falling over, but steadfastly determined to make it.
The last time I saw Mel was back in December 2001. I'd fallen in love with her, but was unable to get any kind of fulfillment about it. Over the past couple of years since then, we've kept in touch and our friendship has grown. We've gotten closer, just by the fact that we've always kept in touch with each other, telling each other of our lives, sharing photos, etc. Time has dimmed the expectations I originally had, but not the feelings. There's still love there, but without expectation it's simply a very, very close friendship.
I imagine that inside each of us is a bowl, and that bowl holds the love we have for ourselves.
Many people have an empty or shallow bowl, where the love they have for themself is very little. The reason they have very little for themselves could be due to many reasons.
They could dislike themselves, and have very little love for themselves because they don't like who they are. As they go through life, they continuously try to find love from others, because they know they don't have it themselves. They search for other people to love them, and give them the love that they need. But then they realise that the love from others just isn't enough. They might separate from whatever relationship they're in, as they're 'just not getting what they need', and they search for someone else to love them.
Yesterday I applied for a job on a cruise ship as Internet Manager. I'd be looking after internet services for onboard passengers and crew. Which cruise ship? I don't know. Any cruise ship.
I filled out an online application form with a group that submits my application and resume to all cruise ship companies around the world. Somewhere, someone might want me.
I decided that I wouldn't mind a break from where I'm working now, and the minimum contract period for working on a cruise liner is 3-4 months.
Welcome to 2004. It's a pleasure to have your company as we continue our adventure into the future.
I still remember in the early eighties when I was reading a comic book called 2000 AD, and wondering how close to those visions of the future we would be when we really reached 2000 AD.
They were far grander than reality turned out to be. In many respects, we have gone backwards rather than forwards. The positive visions of the future we once had are now replaced by a negative focus on the present. We don't look to the future and wonder like we once used to.
