It is more correct to say there is no hell in any
of God's Universes, than to suggest there is a hell. This is because,
if you take the word hell to mean a place of inflicted suffering,
of eternal duration, there is no such place. But, if you
take it to understand that some spirits find themselves in places
and states of mind that are unpleasant, then there are such places
and conditions. But this condition is not inflicted because of any
false beliefs, or following any "wrong" religion. It is
solely the application of the Laws of God, the effect that results
from causes. The causes, are broadly sin, or being out of harmony
with God's Laws.
The hells are both a place and an experience. It
seems that each soul may in some way create it's own hell. Certainly
we are told that the Law of Compensation causes souls to undergo
this purification, following which they progress until eventually
they may reach the highest heavens. Hell, then, is not for eternity.
However some souls spend a very long time in torment, and it is
not uncommon for them to believe that this will last for eternity.
These messages tell a different story about resurrection, forgiveness
and judgment. It is not correct to view hell as punishment, but
rather as the only place where that soul is in harmony. Over time,
the soul may choose other actions and beliefs, and change it's way
of thinking, and ultimately lead itself to being in harmony where
there is greater happiness, and thus progress out of its torment.
I have just created a summary "Getting
the Hell out of here" which includes material from this
site and others. This is in the form of a pdf and can be downloaded,
or opurchased as a booklet. While the messages below contain many
tales of the "hells", none of these come close to that
experienced by "The Officer" in Gone West. There
you can read about how you can degenerate, even in the next
world, passing finally to the lowest hells before crying out to
God for help, and then starting the long journey back out. A similar
tale can be found in A
Wanderer in the Spirit Lands

How long do you spend in hell?
In the following messages, it is clear that Julius Caesar has
been in hell since his death in March 44 B.C - about 2060 years
so far. But, once he learns how to get out, he gets out in no time
at all - about 19 months. I have included here confirmatory messages
from Padgett's wife. This was very common, and it was the primary
means by which Padgett knew he was not
being deceived. If you choose to read all the messages in chronological
order, you will discover this to be true, even though not all
the messages that were received have been published, and this particularly
includes the inconsequential supporting messages.
There are many similar stories about spirits in darkness, and
their later returning to thank Padgett for helping them. For another
such dark spirit, see the story of Edwin
Forrest, a former business partner of Padgett's.

The Resurrection
Earthbound and Dark Spirits in the
Astral Plane
While the messages received by James Padgett do not cover this
subject to any great extent, it is the case that mortals can be
seriously affected by entities residing in the Astral Plane, also
called the earth plane. These may be both earthbound spirits and
dark spirits. Earthbound spirits are those that have for one or
other reason remained in the earth plane after death. The reasons
are varied, but in all cases a lack of spiritual development is
a major factor. Some are simply confused and scared, and almost
all do not realise they are dead. Some are attached to material
possessions, and try to stay around those. These earthbound spirits
may inhabit a house, and perhaps be referred to as "ghosts"
or poltergeists when they are troublesome. More insidious are those
that "attach" to a mortal. This always affects the mortal,
and these effects can be both physical and mental. There are also
however astral shells, which no longer contain a soul, and are simply
a residual packet of energy. These entities do not reply when addressed,
and continue in a very repetitive pattern, as they have no sentience.
These too are sometimes seen as ghosts.
Sadly all too many folk after death are so dark that they awaken
in spiritual darkness, in the Astral Plane. They notice the spiritual
light emanating from mortals, and go towards it. They may then find
themselves "caught" in the magnetic aura of that mortal
and can remain caught in that aura for a great many years. For this
reason there are bands of more advanced spirits who await the passing
of mortals, and hope to catch their attention before this happens.
It is possible to spend quite a bit of time in the Astral Plane,
which is itself divided into seven divisions. Spirits in this Astral
Plane are able to either progress or regress, and either condition
will result in their departing the Astral Plane for the Spirit Spheres.
Regression is the direct result of obsession, and the desire to
participate in earthy activities such as drinking, drugs and sex
which is what draws them into obsession of a living mortal.
A very good description of these issues is covered by Gone
West as also A Wanderer in the Spirit Lands, in the suggested
reading list. An extract is referenced below.
Dark spirits are a somewhat different matter. Because the earth
plane is within their allowed range, dark spirits can and do spend
a time trying to influence mortals negatively, although it seems
that they have to acquire an astral shell in order to do this, which
process typically results in them eventually ending up even deeper
in the hells. These are all ex-mortals that have not yet thrown
off their tendency to sin and error, but sadly, even after death
they can dig ever bigger holes for themselves. (If you require someone
to remove a spirit attachment, for yourself or another, details
can be found here.)
