Does Hell and Heaven exist? This question was previously considered purely theological. For believers, there was no doubt that the soul is responsible for what a person has done. Atheists completely denied the possibility of the existence of the soul and everything with it
related.
Origin of the concept
According to the majority, Hell is described in the Bible. Since so many facts stated in the Holy Scripture find both direct and indirect evidence, there seems to be no point in doubting whether Hell exists. However, the Bible quite unequivocally says that a person who does not have the Holy Faith, does not keep the commandments, will face Gehenna of Fire or the Second Death. Many inattentive readers think that this concept is synonymous with Hell (the place of eternal torment), but the Bible does not teach this. And no physical evidence of Hell has been found to this day. Why?
The psychological background of the concept of "Hell"
If you do not take into account what is actually written in the Bible, and look at the question, so to speak, from the point of view of a person who lived about two thousand years ago, then you can interpret the idea of the existence of Hell in a different way. For the pagans who did not know the rules and restrictions, perhaps some framework was needed to restrain the manifestation of instincts. To get people to accept the rules that facilitate their development, not to destroy each other indiscriminately, it was necessary to give them a "stick" and "carrot". Hearing the ideas that Jesus conveyed to people, as well as their incorrect interpretation after the death of Christ, a person involuntarily wondered if Hell existed? What's next for him? The limiting tool has proven to be powerful enough.
Ideas of modern scientists
If earlier the priests placed Hell underground, even called at what depth it is, how many logs are used annually, now scientists are approaching the study of the issue more broadly. Some believe that Hell can exist in a different dimension. But the American astronauts saw "proof" of the existence of the underworld in space. This happened during the study. Astronauts conducting observations in orbit saw a prominence detached from the star. It looked like inside of which the silhouettes of flaming people were visible. Some scientists, considering the question of whether Hell exists, put forward assumptions about the possibility of its placement on very hot planets, of which there are many open in space.
Different point of view
Interesting fact. Whether people believe or not believe in the possibility of Hell and Paradise, but the teachings were created taking into account this fact as a proven fact. The concepts are so voluminous and capacious in the worldview of modern mankind that it is almost impossible to get around them. For example, many esotericists claim that Hell and Paradise exist. And you don't have to wait for death. We ourselves, with our thoughts and feelings, place our soul in this or that "place", depending on the worldview. This happens even during our earthly life. Why wait for the transition to another world? Already in this, a person can find out whether Hell exists if he torments himself and others with claims and anger. Isn't the light taken from the soul as a result of its fall, is not the absence of Paradise, and the darkness that fills the whole person because of his eternal problems is not Hell? It turns out that the proofs of each person live in the soul. There is no need for experiments and experiments, you just need to listen to your feelings, analyze them. If faith is strong, a person does not wish others harm. So for him, Paradise is a reality. If he sinks to vices, then his soul is already in Hell!
Is there heaven and hell, are there angels and demons?
There is no particular hell that Dante Alighieri described. Although Paradise, described by the great poet, is similar to that existing in the Heavenly world. There are no circles of hell where everything burns and boils ... But there is something higher and thoughtful. This is a transition from darkness to light. The highest state in God's world is light. God is the brightest and highest light. And there is a darker side, it can be metaphorically attributed to what is called hell on earth. But there are no physical torments, tortures there. There is only a hit of the soul in a certain facet of light or darkness. That is, on a scale of 1 to 100, God is 100. If this metaphor is extended further, all the lower ones are hell,. Great, famous people usually fall into the higher circles of Light. There are people who know how to attract the love and worship of a large number of people. In fact, Light is the love and worship of a great many people. And not just love, but their spiritual energy of people. What explains such a great popularity of famous people? On a scale of 1 to 100, Pugachev has a gradation of 67. The closer to 100, the more Light. For example, Lenin has 58 in this scale. Is it possible to go to the highest circles of the World? Is it popularly called "getting into the Seventh Heaven"? This is a true saying ... From the moment of birth you are in your Heaven. In order for a Soul to get into a higher circle of Light, it is necessary that in the earthly world as many people as possible pray for this Soul, send it their Love and recognition.
Demons and the so-called devil are images invented by people, they are at the lowest points of this scale, from 1 to 10. They really exist as some kind of entity and can enter people and animals ... For example, a herd of pigs as described in the Bible. They can inhabit people with a thin, weakened psyche, they can even make sounds. People often witness this condition, especially at services in temples.
There are angels too. They are innocent souls. There are also guardian angels. They help people, but people very much of them simply do not hear.
A special conversation about the seers: Wanga, Nostradamus ... They are on a high scale, they are shining with divine grace. Vanga was deliberately deprived of sight. Nostradamus was mentally ill. The holy fools in Russia were mentally ill. Matronushka Moskovskaya was deprived of health and sight, but all of them, due to physical ailments, possessed great light power from 70 to 80. Thanks to the light, they had the opportunity to penetrate into the future and predict some things. However, they could not predict everyone. There are people who have a clear future, and there are people who have options for fate, what choice they will make is not always clear.
Jesus Christ, Virgin Mary, The Apostles have a high, as they would say now, rating of the Light. At the beginning of his life he was not like this with Jesus Christ, he rose thanks to universal prayers and the love of mankind for him. The Virgin Mary and the apostles have the same thing. There is no way to incarnate Jesus Christ with such a high light. This will be a person with high radiance, very special and unusual on earth. He passed all the levels of his incarnation.
How can a soul improve? Only through love. The stages of incarnation do not take place on earth, but in the upper, heavenly world.
MAIN CONCLUSION: In order for a Soul to get into a higher circle of Light, it is necessary that in the earthly world as many people as possible pray for this Soul, send it their Love and recognition. For this, a Man on Earth needs to live in such a way that people love him and after his physical death, remember him with Love. They prayed for him.

The culture
Both believers and atheists are constantly waiting for clear evidence that will confirm or deny the existence of God.
Below is a list of theories and studies carried out by scientists from various fields that have worked to prove the existence of God, Paradise and Hell.
Do they give real facts or do they conjecture many things? You decide!
1. The scientist who "dug" the road to hell in Siberia and recorded the cries of damned souls (1989)
What actually happened:
The Soviet Union drilled a deep hole in the ground - the Kola superdeep well (12,262 meters). The well is located on the Kola Peninsula. After its completion, quite interesting geological anomalies were discovered, but as it turned out, there was nothing unusual and even more supernatural in them.
What the legend says:
According to legend, in 1989, a group of Russian scientists, who worked under the direction of Dr. Azakov, drilled a hole almost 15 kilometers deep in an unnamed place in Siberia when they stumbled upon a bottomless cavity.
Intrigued by the unexpected find, they lowered a heat-resistant microphone along with other sensing equipment into the hole. According to experts, they were able to record and then hear the tortured screams of desperate people.
The second surprise was the incredibly high temperature they found in the center of the Earth (over 1000 degrees Celsius). In the end, they came to the conclusion that they had opened the way to hell.
The story was soon picked up by numerous American and European media outlets, and the sound files of the alleged sufferers flooded the entire internet... Immediately, Trinity Broadcasting Network (TNB) began discussing the soundtrack on all of their evangelical channels, saying that this is the ultimate evidence that hell exists.
Norwegian teacher Age Rendalen heard the TNB story during a visit to the United States. Feeling a terrible disgust for mass gullibility, he decided to "exaggerate" the tale told by the channels.
Rendalen wrote online that he initially did not believe in this tale, but on his return to Norway, he allegedly read the "factual" report on the given story... According to Rendalen, not only the voices of damned souls were clearly heard on the recording, but also the ghosts of bats flew out of the hole, leaving an indelible mark on the Russian sky.
To perpetuate his fiction, Rendalen deliberately mis-translated a common Norwegian article on a local building and provided it, as well as an English "translation" to TNB.
Rendalen included his real details, phone number and address in the article, and also left the contact information of a pastor he knew who agreed. play along him in case someone wants to check and call to ask about everything personally.
Unfortunately, TNB published a story without the contact information of Randalen and the Californian pastor, but a fictional story itself. " Welcome to hell and hoax " began to be played on radio, television and published in all newspapers.
In fact, the reality is that Soviet scientists, in fact, drilled a hole almost 15 km deep in the superdeep Kola well, located not in Siberia, but on the Kola Peninsula, which borders Norway and Finland.
After completion of the well, some interesting geological anomalies were discovered, but these did not indicate any supernatural encounters. Temperatures at depth reached 180 degrees Celsius, so further drilling was stopped due to high cost of the procedure.
As it turned out later, the used recording with the alleged voices of tormented souls was just a remix of part of the soundtrack for the 1972 film "Baron's Blood" with the addition of effects.
The best part is that today you can buy a copy of Hell Sounds for $ 12.99.
Does God exist?
2) A neurologist who claimed that Paradise exists after spending a week in a coma (2008)
In 2008, Eben Alexander III suffered a very serious weekly coma, which was caused by meningitis infection... Brain scans showed that the entire cortex surrounding the brain in the region responsible for consciousness, thinking, memory and understanding was not functioning.
The doctors gave him very little chance, and told his family that even if Eben did survive, his brain would likely remain damaged for the rest of his life. Despite all the difficulties endured, Eben woke up exactly one week later.
While in a deep coma, the brain was so badly affected that only the most primitive areas of it worked. Upon awakening, the man claimed to have experienced something extraordinary: he traveled to heaven.
In his autobiography, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife, he describes how left his body and suffered clinical death.
Alexander claims that after death we will have an eternity of perfect brilliance, complete with angels, clouds, and deceased relatives.
By July 3, 2013, the book had been on the New York Times bestseller list for 35 weeks.
In a large-scale investigation into the history of neurologist Alexander, based on his medical background, Esquire magazine reported in its August 2013 issue that prior to publication of the book, the neurologist was removed from medical practice due to negligence, and also because of his participation in at least two procedures for covering up a medical error.
The magazine's specialists also said that they found divergences in the book of Alexander. Among the inconsistencies, in particular, stands out that Alexander writes as if "fell into a coma as a result of a severe form of bacterial meningitis, while the brain activity was suspended."
At the same time, the doctor who observed him during the coma claims that the coma was medically induced, and the patient was partially conscious, however, he was accompanied by hallucinations.
Alexander's book and advertising campaign in support of it were criticized by scientists, including neuroscientist Sam Harris, who called Alexander's work "alarmingly unscientific" and stressed that the evidence presented by the author is not only insufficient, they also suggest that the author knows little about the work of the brain.
In November 2012, Alexander responded to critics by releasing a second article in which he recounted the words of the doctors who performed all brain tests on him. "Nothing was done that could damage any of the functions, including vision, hearing, emotion, memory, language or logic."
Truth or lie? Everyone decides for himself.
Evidence for the Existence of God
3) A chemistry student who demonstrated that heaven and hell exist
According to urban legend, the following story began with a response from a chemistry student at Washington University.
And here is the question itself: Is hell exothermic (that is, it gives off heat) or endothermic (that is, it absorbs heat)?
Most of the students answered this question using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats up when it contracts).
However, one of the students came up with the following answer:
First, we must understand how much the mass of Hell changes with time... That is, we must have an idea of the speed with which souls move to Hell and with what speed they leave it.
I believe it is reasonable to assume that if the soul has already entered Hell, then it is unlikely that it leaves him. As for how many souls go to Hell, it is worth looking at the various religions that exist in the world today.
Most of them claim that if you do not profess this particular religion, then you will undoubtedly go to Hell. Since there are so many religions today, it is safe to say that all souls go to Hell.
Given the birth and death rates around the world, it can be assumed that the number of souls in Hell growing exponentially(that is, there is an increase in the value in direct proportion to the value of the value itself).
Now we are looking at the rate of change in the volumes of Hell, because Boyle's law states that in order to maintain the same temperature and pressure in Hell, the volume must expand in direct proportion to the addition of souls. In this case, there are two possible scenarios for the development of events.
1. If Hell expands more slowly than the number of living souls grows, then the temperature and pressure there will grow disproportionately, therefore the day will come when Hell will "fall apart".
2. If Hell increases in size at a rate exceeding the volume of incoming souls, then the temperature and pressure will drop, and Hell will freeze.
So where is the truth?
Considering the postulate I heard from my colleague Teresa in my freshman year ("Hell will freeze if I sleep with you") and also take into account that I spent last night with her, then of the points I have proposed, the second is the truth.
So I am sure that hell is already frozen.
The consequence of this theory is the fact that, since Hell is already frozen, it means that more souls do not get there, and, therefore, only Paradise remains, which proves the existence of a divine being. This explains why Teresa screamed for a very long time last night: " Oh my God!"
For obvious reasons, the student received the highest mark.
4) The professor of medicine who claimed to have found a sculpture of God (1725)
In 1725, Professor Adam Beringer, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Würzburg, found many carved in limestone figurines of lizards, frogs, spiders, birds with the face of fish, sun and stars.
Some of them were signed, for example, the Hebrew name of God in Latin, Arabic and Hebrew. These figures, carved in stone, in his opinion, were created by God himself when he experimented with types of life, planning the universe.
Behringer, along with his main explanation, suggested several possible other interpretations, among which the version about the imprints of dead animals (fossils) appeared. However, most of them, according to the professor, were " whimsical inventions of God. "
He also considered the version that these drawings belonged to prehistoric pagans, but it would be more correct to exclude this option, because the pagans did not know the name of God.
Actually he became a victim of deception by his fellow former Jesuits Ignatz Roderick, professor of geography and mathematics, and Johann Georg von Eckhart, privy councilor and librarian.
Having got to the bottom of the truth, Beringer sued the deceivers, then a scandal followed, after which all three have lost their credibility.
Some of the fossil animals discovered then by Boehringer are kept today in the museum at Oxford University.
5) Pascal's Wager: Does God Exist or Not? You must decide (17th century)
Pascal's Wager is a dogma in apologetic philosophy that was developed by the 17th century French mathematician, physicist and philosopher Blaise Pascal (1623-1622).
Dogma states that throughout its life, mankind has been arguing about the existence of God.
If God exists, then taking into account the endless profit or loss associated with belief in God or with unbelief, a reasonable person should live as if God exists, seek him and believe.
If God does not really exist, then such a person will have only a final loss (some pleasure, luxury, etc.).
Philosophy uses the following logic:
1. God either exists or He does not;
2. In the game that we all play, there will always be heads or tails;
3. For obvious reasons, you are not able to prove any of the above statements;
4. You must choose something for yourself (this is not optional);
5. Let's weigh all the benefits and losses, assuming that there is a God. Let's evaluate these two options. If you win, you get everything; if you lose, you don’t lose anything.
Historically, Pascal's wager was groundbreaking as it mapped out new areas of study in probability theory, marking the first official use of decision theory, as well as the emergence of anticipated themes in future philosophy, such as existentialism, pragmatism, and voluntarism.
6) Euler's formula for explaining the existence of God (18th century)
Leonhard Euler (1707 - 1783) was one of the first Swiss mathematicians and physicists to make important discoveries in areas such as infinitesimal calculus and graph theory.
Euler also created much of modern mathematical terminology and notation in mathematical analysis, such as, for example, the concept of a mathematical function. He is known for his work in mechanics, hydrodynamics, optics and astronomy. He lived most of his life in St. Petersburg and Berlin.
Much of what is known about Euler's religious beliefs can be inferred from his letters to a German princess, as well as from his early writings, which show that he was a devout Christian who believed that the Bible was written under divine inspiration.
Moreover, he argued for the divine inspiration of Scripture.
There is a famous legend inspired by the Euler arguments. The French philosopher Denis Diderot paid a visit to Russia at the invitation of Catherine the Great. However, the empress was extremely alarmed that the arguments of the atheist philosopher could affect her closest subjects.
So, Euler was asked to confront the clever Frenchman... Diderot was informed that the mathematician had developed a formula to prove the existence of God, and he agreed to study its proof.
When it came time for Euler to talk about his formula, he issued: " Sir, (a + b) to the nth power divided by n = x, so there is God. Now you!"
Diderot, for whom, according to history, mathematics was akin to the Chinese literacy, remained dumbfounded and immediately left the meeting place. In an extremely embarrassed situation, he asked the empress let him leave the country, to which the latter kindly agreed.
Euler was depicted on the sixth series of Swiss 10-franc notes, as well as on numerous Swiss, German and Russian stamps... An asteroid that fell to Earth in 2002 was also named after him.
In his honor, a holiday was even created in the Lutheran church, which is celebrated on May 24. He was a very devout Christian who believed in the infallibility of the Bible, wrote apologetics, and actively opposed the prominent atheists of his day.
7) The Mathematician Who Developed God's Theorem (1931)
Kurt Friedrich Gödel was an Austrian and later American logician, mathematician and philosopher. It is believed that he, along with Aristotle and Frege, was one of the most powerful logicians in the history of mankind.
This man made a huge contribution to the formation of scientific and philosophical thinking in the 20th century. Gödel published his two incompleteness theorems in 1931, when he was 25 years old and had just received his doctorate from the University of Vienna.
The first theorem states that any self-consistent systemic force is sufficient to describe the arithmetic of natural numbers (for example, Peano arithmetic), however, there are true judgments about natural numbers that cannot be proved using axioms.
To prove this theorem, Gödel developed a technique known today as Gödel numbering, which encodes formal expressions as natural numbers.
He also showed that neither the axiom of choice nor the continuum hypothesis can be refuted by the accepted axioms of set theory, relying on the fact that these axioms are consistent. Earlier results allowed mathematicians to talk about the axiom of choice in their proofs.
He also made important contributions to proof theory by clarifying the relationship between classical, intuitionistic and modal logic.
When Gödel died in 1978, he left behind an interesting theory based on the principles of modal logic (a type of formal logic that in a narrow sense involves the use of the words "necessarily" and "possible").
The theorem itself asserts that God or a supreme being is the one beyond which it is impossible to understand anything. That is, if a person has proved and understood that God exists, he can do everything.
God exists in understanding. If God exists in understanding, we can imagine that He also exists in reality. Thus, God must exist.
Heaven, earth, hell
8) The scientist who talks about the absence of conflict between science and religion (2007)
In an interview with CNN in April 2007, Francis Collins, director of the Human Genome Project, reaffirms that data embedded in DNA proves the existence of God.
According to the researcher, he gathered a consortium of scientists to read out 3.1 billion letters of the human genome. As a believer, Dr. Collins sees DNA information in the molecules of all living things as a divine language, and the elegance and complexity of this language is a reflection of God's plan.
However, he was not always of this opinion. When Collins was a graduate student in physical chemistry in 1970, his atheistic thinking found no reason to postulate the existence of any truths that deviated from the laws of mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
Then he entered medical school and faced the problem of life and death among his patients face to face. One of the patients asked him: " What do you believe in, doctor? " Since then, he began to look for answers.
Dr. Collins admitted that the science he loved so much was powerless to answer questions such as: "What is the meaning of life?", "Why am I here?", "Why does mathematics work this way and not otherwise?", "If the Universe had a beginning, then who created it?" are determined that they admit the possibility of complex life forms? "," Why do people have a sense of morality? "," What happens to us after death? "
Question: “Does heaven really exist? What is it and where is it located? Will I see my dead relatives and friends there? "
Our answer: Yes, according to the Bible, heaven or heaven does exist. Currently, heaven is in another dimension, they are invisible to man, unless God shows them. On several occasions he showed heaven to His prophets (Isaiah 6; Ezekiel 1; Daniel 7: 9-10; 2 Corinthians 12: 1-4; Revelation 1: 4-5). God is now seated on a throne in heaven, and the Bible states that Jesus, the Lamb of God, is at the right hand of the Father and will be there until he returns to earth to judge and establish His kingdom on earth.
What most people call paradise or heaven is the eternal city that the Bible calls “the new Jerusalem” (Revelation 21: 2). This will be a new heaven, because the present heaven and earth will no longer exist. (Revelation 21: 1). This is how the eternal city is described:
And I heard a loud voice from heaven, saying: Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them; they will be His people, and God Himself with them will be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more; there will be no more crying, no outcry, no sickness, for the former has passed away. And he who sat on the throne said: Behold, I am making everything new. And he says to me: write; for these words are true and faithful. (Revelation 21: 3-5)
And the city does not need either the sun or the moon to illuminate its own, for the glory of God has illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb. (Revelation 21:23)
And nothing unclean will enter into it, and no one who is devoted to abomination and lies, but only those that are written by the Lamb in the book of life. (Revelation 21:27)
The Bible says that all people will experience a bodily resurrection from the dead, and all will appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ (Revelation 20: 14-15)
The idea of people that everyone will go to heaven and meet their loved ones is absolutely not in line with the Bible's teaching. On the contrary, Jesus said that those who believe in Him will gain life because “no one comes to the Father except through Me (John 14: 6). Revelation 7: 9 tells us that there will be multitudes of people in heaven from every tribe, language, people, and nation, but they will have eternal life because of their faith in Jesus. People who have never heard of Jesus are more likely to be there if only they have humbled themselves before God and responded to the revelation that was sent to them personally. Those who have rejected Him will not be with Him.
There is no hell and heaven! At least in the sense in which we humans imagine it. Read the details ...
Why don't I doubt if there is hell and heaven?
Because I discovered a way to directly communicate with the Higher Intelligence and receive answers to my questions from it!
It all started with one fantastic experience of working with chakras ...
It was then that I received information about how you can quickly and immediately open all your chakras and get into the direct informational space channel !!!
When I opened my Sahasrara Chakra¹, I found myself right in Space! There were amazing worlds around ... If only you could see! Through this Crown Chakra, I directly communicated with the Higher Intelligence and received answers to many questions of concern to me. And I heard his voice as clearly as you hear your own.
It was the most exciting experience of my life!
But what is even more important! ... Now I know how easy it is to open my space information channel when I need it!
So is there hell and heaven?
Tonight I went back to my news channel and had an amazing experience of communicating with the other world. I communicated with the souls of long-dead people, geniuses of the past ... But then a thought came that haunted me:
- Is there hell or heaven? I asked.
- Hell and heaven, in the sense in which you, people, "imagined" this to yourself, do not exist. Hell or heaven is only within yourself. You are your own hell or heaven, it all depends on your personal choices and actions.
I was also told that death will inevitably "strangle" each of us.
- But why are we all "strangled"? I exclaimed.
- After death, everyone will receive a better life and better conditions, which are thousands of times superior to those of the earth.
- But what about sinners and villains, should they be punished? I asked.
- Everyone, without exception, will receive a better life and better conditions, but a person, if he has done bad deeds, punishes himself in the next incarnation.
Turns out!!!
In the noosphere of the Earth, in the form of special field (energy) structures, there are souls of deceased people awaiting their new karmic incarnation on Earth ...
Best regards, Alexander Kling
