We are all travelers in this physical realm. Some people don't use maps because they just follow the sun or their instincts or whatever, but sometimes a map is very useful. Not that I would try to use a 2000 year old map to get me to, say, San Francisco though. I prefer a GPS system actually. However, if it was an old old treasure map I might ditz around with it for awhile and try to decipher the secret code, just for the adventure. Nor do I believe that heaven and hell are specific locations created for rewards and penalties. I believe they are metaphors pointing to states of mind. Joy is the state of mind that would probably be the equivalent of heaven, and surely fear refers to hell! Personally, I know what Joy and Ecstasy feel like. And I have learned to recognize fear... no matter the costume it might currently be wearing. Therefore, I choose Love, and when there seems to be an absence of Love, I go deeper and broader and change my perspective, because I have come to know that that perspective will always be there... just sort of abiding, like a candle in the window. Love, Joy, Passion, Knowledge; the feeling of well-being, of enthusiasm and eagerness for the new day, this is what I seek in Life, like a satellite dish searching for it's signal, I have locked onto it and will channel the energy. Therefore I don't read newspapers. I don't watch the news on TV. I don't follow politics or religion. I am VERY picky about how I feel. Anything that doesn't make me feel good does not warrant my attention, other than as an indication that this thought or activity has moved me off my signal.... "Please return to the highlighted route, please return to the highlighted route!" Hehehehehe. I bid you adieu, and may your Journey be delightful, joyous, and free... that's my motto anyway.

Don't quote me on it as I haven't checked my bible but I think there is reference to hell in the book of revelations.
