    The Afterlife.

    Three statements to begin this article....

    There is no hell.
    There is no Purgatory.
    Suicides do not go to hell.

    I speak from personal experience, which is the only true way for any mystic to approach the greater reality.

    If person have differing beliefs concerning these things, I ask directly: 'on what personal experience are these beliefs based???'.

    And following this question, it is necessary to begin the task of examining your beliefs based on the measure of personal experience you hold.

    Hell is a religious concept, a place of punishment for not following dogma and church laws and instructions for living life, etc. EG, suicides go to hell.

    In reality, we create our own hells, here in the physical and in the afterlife.

    While there are many ways the afterlife can unfold, the series of afterlife environments most face are created by the contents of persons experience. this includes beliefs in concepts like hell and etc.

    Suicides fare no differently than anyone else in the afterlife, and the same variables are involved.

    I have significant experience with suicides in the afterlife realms.

    Suicides are obviously traumatized, suffering individuals in a lot of pain. This pain goes with them into the afterlife and has a big effect upon the environment.

    A suffering person may create the conditions and experiences that caused the suffering. This may involve reliving painful events over and over, until these are processed and realized as being the life lessons or illusions they represent.

    Once a level of suffering is processed, persons move on. They may move to another level of suffering, processing other issues and pains. This continues until persons are purged of their pain and illusions. Then they move on into Rest and Recovery areas, where they may sleep for decades and recover strength.

    From here, persons move into heavenly areas, and these often appear just like real life, a small town or village or etc, where they are in great comfort and surrounded by loved ones.

    Most popular beliefs in the afterlife contain elements of the above, if only fragments.

    As said, there are many variables in how afterlife transpires.

    I cut the below from a recent email I wrote on this, which adds some more details....

    The immediate after life varies depending on circumstances. In the case of sudden death, say from a car accident, the real time projected astral double is produced in a very strong form. This form allows the deceased to visit in real time for a few weeks. Then this form falls asleep and dreams. In this dreaming, deceased persons process their lives. This takes as long as it takes, depending on how much unresolved baggage has been accumulated.

    After the processing, persons shift into realms of illusion. These could aptly be called heavenly realms. They are belief system based. So they can involve religious scenarios and figures.

    Built into all the illusory realms are random anomalies. These are also found in all OBE and dream states, starting with the well known 'melting hands' phenomenon, missing furniture, etc, that I have called 'reality fluctuations'.

    In the after life, these anomalies constantly draw ones attention to the fact that one is in an illusion. Once this is grasped and the scenario gets 'old', one moves on to the next illusory realm, and the next, progressively purifying ones beliefs until there is nothing of illusion left.

    Eventually, one gets to the point where all illusion falls away. I don't have personal experience with what comes next, but think that it is here where one merges with ones higher self, possibly reincarnates, etc.

    The real time double that I mentioned falls asleep and dreams will shift into a lower dimensional area just below the physical. This could aptly be described as Purgatory. There, you will find millions of sleeping or sleep walking persons, in something like real time double form.

    Some just sleep, while some relive troubling events over and over. Some of these can become ghosts, if they are strongly attached to certain places and persons in the real world.

    In closing, all of the above is a part of a beautiful natural process. The afterlife can take as long as it takes, be it months or many centuries. The end result is assured. Persons will move on eventually, when they are ready to let go of the last vestiges of illusion.
