Is there heaven or hell?
July 4, 2017 • Conversations on the Spiritual Path, Learn
Different religions believe in different things obviously. Hinduism does not believe in heaven or hell but rather in heavenly states of mind and hellish states of mind. One of the core beliefs of Hinduism is that God is all pervasive. God is in you, in me, in the trees, in the stones. God is everywhere. If God is in everything, there cannot be anything purely evil, such as hell. However, there are different layers to our inner (astral) and outer (physical) worlds. In the inner worlds, there are negative areas where lower-minded people go and positive areas where higher-minded people go. In the outer world, you can go places to have lower-vibration experiences and you can go places to have higher-vibration experiences.

Well, it has been a really long time since I’ve sent one of these emails out. Apologies for my hiatus. October and November were filled with events I spoke at in the US, across Europe and in India. My travels culminated with a retreat that I held in South India where I led a group…
