Mortal torment

A short essay about clinical death and what the soul of the deceased experiences in hell.

The topic of clinical death, reincarnation and the afterlife is widely covered on the Internet. One of the brightest researchers of clinical death is Raymond Moody. In his books and video lectures, he described in detail hundreds of cases of the posthumous experience of people of different ages, worldviews, nationalities and religious beliefs. Despite all these differences, most people's posthumous experiences were similar. Raymond Moody identified certain features that unite all these cases, and came to the conclusion that the human soul continues to exist after the death of the physical body.

If we generalize modern views, then the soul can go either to hell, or to heaven, or to a place that does not belong to either heaven or hell. The place of the afterlife, into which the soul falls, is not accidental. It depends on the level of development of the soul, achieved by it during life. Most people who went to hell and returned back say that if some forces had not helped them to return, they would have burned in hell forever. I have great doubts about the word "forever". The Tibetan book "Bardo Tkhedol" ("Book of the Dead") excellently tells about the afterlife wanderings of the soul, and on account of the eternal torment of the soul in hell it says unequivocally: the soul cannot stay in hell forever, just as it cannot reincarnate forever. After going through a certain process of purification, she gets the opportunity to return to the visible world (reincarnate). It is interesting that from the standpoint of the Book of the Dead being in hell is not interpreted as something negative. This is presented as a necessary condition for the purification of a very dark (sinful) soul.

Only Christians speak of eternal fiery hell, and I am very confused by the fact that by the fruits of just one (and maybe worthless) life, a person determines his being in eternal hell or eternal paradise. This is nonsense. Apparently, when rewriting the sacred texts, Christians made too many mistakes. In addition to sacred texts, humanity also has a mind. And it is the sacred text that should be applied to the mind, and not vice versa.

Most of the videos on the Internet about clinical death contain the following information: after the death of the physical body, the soul saw a bright white light, then a tunnel or corridor, flew along it, met its relatives or the gates of heaven (in the case of hell, instead of a corridor, the soul falls into a black abyss or abyss), then I saw the chronicle of my life, lamented at the expense of the mistakes made, and then some entity returned the soul back to the physical body (most often by force), they say, dear, it's too early for you to leave Earth, you have small children, your spouse is crying alone, in general, you have not yet completed your plan of incarnation.

But it is very difficult to find videos in which the soul went through the torments of hell, that is, it entered hell and stayed there for some time. Why are such records of great interest and great value to the researcher of the afterlife? Because any little esotericist or psychologist already knows that there is an afterlife, and that a person is multidimensional. But what the soul experiences in hell, going through mortal torments - it was difficult to imagine even Raymond Moody.

So, I bring to your attention two videos about clinical death and hell. At one of them, an unbelieving Russian was introduced to Christianity and the Bible. On the other hand, an unbelieving Jew joined Judaism and the Torah. By the way, an interesting question is why some people after death join faith in one God, while others - in a completely different? "Bardo Thedol" says the following about this: the soul of the deceased joins the God in which his ancestors believed (or to that egregor, which is subjectively closer to her and seems to be the most perfect). Therefore, it is not surprising that an atheist after clinical death and purification becomes a believer, and a Buddhist, for example, after clinical death and purification becomes a Christian, and vice versa.

It does not matter at all whether the soul believed in Jesus, or in Buddha, or in Allah - the main thing is that after that it became more human and more perfect. That is why most people who have experienced clinical death radically change their value system from selfish and predatory to loving and kind-hearted.
