So now are you guys talking about eternal suffering in hell for not believing?

One of the names for hell came about because they also used that name for the city dump outside of town. A phyiscal place for dumping garbage and the unwanted shafts of the wheat crops, they had a large pit dug and they would dump stuff in it, they would then have a fire in the pit to destroy the unwanted garbage.

So they used the city dump and that burning pit as an anology for making a point. Which has nothing to do with afterlife punishments or rewards.

Allow me to try to explain this the best that I can.

Our mind is the womb in which the seeds of truth are planted, we labour with those ideas and in due season can give birth to the ideas - in our words. If the mind is as pure as a virgin our words are of a virgin birth because they were not implanted by anyone worldly person. The "word" is the child of the indwelling spirit of truth. Aka - the revelation. And anyone can be the bride (male or female because it is not related to our physical body but related to the mind as being the womb, or the soil, which is planted and later harvested.

If however the seeds fall into a mind that is not good soil then the tree of life (the idea and the words) cannot take root and grow and be birthed into the world outside as "knowledge".

As the word is harvested we seperate the good parts from the useless parts, and we keep and consume the good parts, and the usless part we simply send it out with the garbage (into the round file - or over to "butterface" aka - hell).

However because of certain missunderstandings some people thought the masters were talking about the physical body burning in the pit instead of comprehending the philosophy of the riddle, and/or that book burning is a good idea if we think the contents are useless for advocating our point of view.

So, can anyone pick up on any of those clues?
