Hell is the term used to indicate the place of punishment and despair which, according to many religions, awaits, after death, the souls of men who have chosen in life to do evil.



The term "hell" derives from the Latin infernu(m) therefore from inferus (infer) in the meaning of "underground", therefore related to the Sanskrit adhara, gothic under, avestico aẟara, therefore from the indeuropean *ndhero with the meaning of "under" (hence the English under, the German unter, the Italian under or even infra). The presence of the f, present only in Latin and in the terms directly derived from it, is for osca dialectal influence from which the Romans inherited the belief that the entry into the "inferus" (here understood as the world "under", where "are" the dead) was located near Cuma.



The term "inferus", however, is commonly related to the notion of some religions, such as the Abrahamic religions, that is, to the place of "punishment" and "despair". In contrast, the term "underworld" commonly refers to that place, such as the Greek Hades, where the shadows of the dead are placed.

I mentioned this further here in regards to the chakras where I said:

Lower chakras handle energy that is very powerful, potent and 'logical'. Higher chakras handle energy that is more flowing, light and 'creative'. This is the symbolical comparison and the real meaning of Heaven and Hell. The lower chakras (Hell) are the fiery force and the higher chakras (Heaven) are the spiritual creative direction.
 
This is really cool. From what I remember in mythology class, “Hel” was Loki’s daughter and lived in a frozen wasteland. It’s clear the bible is based a lot on Greco-Roman culture and Tartarus was hot. It seemed to me the story of creation came from the Norse and the story of destruction stolen from the Greeks

I always felt like Hell and Hellenic had some ties between them

I don't know if you understand me, but I was referring to something else. I didn't say any place of Satan's torment and torture. I was referring to lower and higher levels of existence in both astral and material. The hell invented by the yehuborim is just a lie and an illusion in the subconscious of the deluded and programmed xians. It is not possible to see and experience the astral if one does not advance spiritually, nor in life, let alone die. I was referring to nature and existence.

I did not misunderstand you, I was merely adding onto it with what I know. Also it is very possible to see and experience the astral when one is not advanced spiritually, people do it all the time when they are dreaming and with accidental astral projection. Dreams are of the astral realm and this is how our gods (and the enemy) influences them. When people are dying they are losing connection with their physical body, so they end up in this same state on the astral, and that's where the enemy shows them their garbage.

In my own experience too the enemy just like our gods can make dreams very vivid as if you were physically there and I've had my fair share of nightmares plagued by them in the past. So they are very capable of showing people things such as I've mentioned and they can definitely 'bring' people to a location on the astral as with my own experience in one particular lucid dream.

So you see these things can be done.

All right then, and thank you.
