The myth of Hell

[Freixel]

Extracted from a book of ancient Philosophy and Mythology that I am currently reading:

"The Pythagoreans... compared the center of the world with a completely closed prison and said that it is the place of the punishments of hell, in which those who must be watched remain captive while they suffer punishment in the kingdom of the condemned, as Pythagoreans explains in his precepts. It is there where they remain captives, that is the place of fire where those who have been condemned by Zeus burn - Albertus Magno"

"It is in volcanic phenomena, and especially in those of Sicily and Southern Italy, that we must seek the origins of the Pythagorean idea of a central fire"

Also note that the word Hell in English is connected to Hel, the lower realm of the fire giants of Norse mythology.

Also, Hell = Tartarus + Hades, the underworld in which the Titans were imprisoned in Greek mythology.

Anyway, hell is basically an Indo-European myth, stolen and adapted by Judeo-Christianity for its purposes.

Water: Judeo-Christianity did not invent anything, its creativity is 0, these guys simply took knowledge and mythology from adjacent cultures and took over them.

There must be something of the usurer and thief character of the Jewish race in this operating mode throughout history.

Have you considered the possibility that heaven and hell the constructs of your own mind that will make itself manifest internally upon your death - that you will hallucinate your own heaven and/or hell at your moment of death as a way for your brain to cope with the fact that its consciousness is about to cease existing? Have you ever noticed how time in dreams moves glacially slow compared to real time? Have you considered the possibility that both (or either) is simply one long, intense dream that you drift away into as you body dies?

Yes, I have considered the possibility that you go where you "think" you should go at the end of life.

Consciousness returns to a "dream world" and what your spirit has developed in your inner world during your stay on earth will manifest in the afterlife.

Heaven is a myth. Hell is real. Death should be feared.
