The fallacies you cite are not mine. I was trying to follow his statement about the “messages” at Fatima which then lead to the logical conclusion I drew. According to you our friend was wrong about the messages telling us that Hell is filled with those that deny the existence of Hell. I am glad to hear it! And, I certainly do not “imagine” that everyone thinks as I do…how boring would that be. I do hope, however, that others are careful in what they say particularly when they condemn others for their beliefs.
If we view reality through the lens of some belief system or rigid doctrinal ideology rather than seeing it for what it is without bias or attachment, we will unconsciously resist any new evidence that contradicts that belief or understanding. Most of us interpret what life presents us through a system of thought, upheld by a reactive and unconscious ego self which is in constant need of defense. The true believers of religious “truth” and the tenured guardians of some scientific “theory” are just two examples of those who are so entrenched in defending their belief systems; many are unable to see new truth when it reveals itself to them. They have become “invested” (another word for attached to) in some truth or another and are unable to “divest” themselves without disrupting their own identity.
This is not to say that all of them are unable to incorporate new evidence or newfound truths, but it becomes easier just to either ignore any contradictory evidence or actively debunk or discredit it, so as not to have to deal with it. To include it or to seriously consider it in their established view of the world, would require for some, a complete scrapping of that view or of their lifelong investment in it. For most, this is just too untenable a task and they are woe to even entertain the idea. This is an unfortunate truth for a good many of our religious and intellectual communities and established institutions.
So, what is now being revealed to us is that we are a transcendent soul-being comprised of intelligent energy of light and color, born in a non-physical spirit world we call home, and to progress our soul towards conjoinment with our Creator/Source, we have decided to come to earth with a specific mission and incarnate in human form. The spirit world or Heaven of our birth is a very busy, and active place (extradimensional realm) filled with an all embracing unconditional love, where we are continually assessed and corrected for our mistakes here and prepared for another incarnation…it is ALWAYS OUR CHOICE. We, hopefully, each time become a little more loving and wiser. There are also spaces for healing of negative energies as well as rest and recreation along with the intensive life review and learning we are continually engaged in. We are just beginning to scratch the surface of these amazing new understandings of our soul’s journey and destiny.
Your Brother in Spirit,
