Theodicy

It is a truism in Spiritualistic thinking that people–more precisely, the spirits which animate them, and which survive the cessation of their bodily functions–exist at different levels of “vibration”, which is to say energy.  More pure spirits exist at a finer level, and bad human beings at a very low level.

It would seem reasonable to infer from this that one could say that there exist many simultaneous worlds, within our own world.  If you were to place a filter over the planet, showing only persons of low vibration, or high vibration, many of us would disappear.  The bad people exist in their own world, in some respects, even though they interact outwardly with everyone.  So, too, the good ones.

This is the value of this world: it is the great meeting of the worlds, which otherwise exist separately.  Hell exists, in many forms, in this world.  So too does Heaven.

I was thinking of the scene in the final episode of “Stranger Things”, where 11 is calling for God, asking “him” (I’m not politically correct, but I think it is reasonable to assume God has neither a penis nor a vagina) where He is.  This is Hell: that place without God, where He cannot be found.  It is, to reference what I think is more or less orthodox Christianity, separation from God.

We might think of 11 as an angelic being who gave the scientists what they really wanted: access to Hell.  She channeled who they really were, in their hearts.  She reflected, in what she created, the spiritual level of that place.

I continue to wonder how we can be so mad, so crazy.  We are happy to spend $200 million on a movie, millions of dollars on political candidates, yet places like the Windbridge Institute have trouble keeping their doors open, and remain largely unknown to everyone.

There are some of us who know we are crazy.  Most of us are completely blind, though, in what I might term the insanity of false sanity.
