Welcome To Hell...May I Take Your Bags?

"Delusion plus delusion remains delusion. The Spirit does not descend into it to associate with it. First, the volcano has to become extinct. The unleashed fire has to burn itself out and cause its own extinction.

However, this does not deny the fact that many divine sparks are imprisoned in unholiness. This is why the Lord of all life, and the Gnosis standing in His service, comes to lead His own out of the burning fire.

The powerful drama of the nature of death is that every human being is led to the consciousness and the experience that he is living in hell. As soon as that consciousness becomes yours in the violent storms of good and evil, and that consciousness is an absolute knowledge formed out of experience, you can make an attempt to seek and find the true state of consciousness in unity with God".

 -- Catharose di Petri --

Should we "accept the world for what it is", or should we "try to make it better"? The answer is neither. We should be looking for a way out of here.

What is hell, anyway? Hell is where the Divine Spirit is not. If we are enamoured of, fascinated by or attached to this life for any reason, that is our way of saying that we want more of this hell. And more we shall have, which is why we've been incarnating on this planet for so many millions of years. That is why only those who are completely through with earthly striving, the highs and the lows, the joys and the sorrows, the beautiful and the ugly, have an opportunity to open the Rose in sincerity and humility. These ones will have a fighting chance at succeeding in obtaining their liberation.

This is why life on earth is so hard. This is why the slightest error brings us so much pain. It is all by design. The hope is that we will get so tired of being beaten to the ground by our experiences in this nature of death that we will one day just throw our hands up in resignation and cry out "Lord, what will you have me do??".

When we have reached that nadir, that low point of surrender, then we will receive a response. Then, the Rosebud, the spirit-spark atom located in the upper right ventricle of the heart, will begin to bloom. From that humble beginning, we can begin to bid farewell to earth-life. We surrender our self-serving, self-focus and effect a complete turn-around in our way of living -- a fundamental reversal. We live to serve others, we pursue true Knowledge, we seek Gnosis.

i can't speak for others, but i've had my fill. It's been real, but i'm done. Enough already.

To hell with Hell. It's time for us to turn and head for Home.
