What if, unbeknownst to us, we are already in Hell?
If life feels like hell to you it is because you are filling your subconscious mind with untrue thoughts.
We are actually in heaven in the here and now!
@DAMOVOXY I am basing what I wrote on personal experience, along with the book “Help Yourself to Happiness” by Dr. Maxie Maultsby, founder of Rational Behavior Therapy, a very successful psychological counseling method.
Those impressions in the subconscious might not be thoughts per se but they can be created by conscious thoughts and they can be modified by conscious thoughts. After reading the book and doing the exercises, my unhappiness dissolved in a flash. My outlook improved immediately, and over a period of weeks I became downright joyful, despite having just weathered a painful divorce.
Even today, if I become angry, disturbed, or depressed, I know just what to do. I consciously analyze the untrue thoughts that led to my unhappiness. By writing it all out longhand, all levels of the psyche are informed of truth and those panicky emotional responses disappear.
Was it not Huxley who speculated that this planet could be another planet's hell?
For a large percentage of humanity he's right.
