The Solar-Plexus chakra is the Doorway to the Astral Plane, or Emotional-Plane, which is also the home of our Astral body or Emotional body. The lowest Astral levels are referred to as hell. According to the angels who took Emmanuel Swedenborg into the Spirit World there is "no fallen angel presiding over hell known as Satan". They say; "the Devil and Satan there mean hell." ("Heaven and Hell " p469) On the other hand apparently the angels see a Celestial Sun or Moon, which can also appear clouded over, always before them. This they call the Lord & It is seen differently according to the higher or lower degrees of the angels. The Lord can also appear as an Angel. The angels also teach Swedenborg "(Overall) Heaven is divided into two kingdoms, one called the Celestial kingdom. The Heavens they make up are called the... Higher Heavens. The Light in the Celestial Kingdom looks fiery as the Sun. The Light of the Spiritual Kingdom is white as the Moon... The Angels who make up the Lord's Celestial Kingdom live for the most part in the higher regions that look like mountains rising from the earth... All Clergymen belong to the Lord's Spiritual Kingdom none to the Celestial Kingdom." (See "Heaven and Hell" by Emmanuel Swedenborg) (In the Bible we read; "There are... Celestial Bodies, and Bodies Terrestrial: but the glory of the Celestial is one, and the glory of the Terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the Sun, and another glory of the Moon, and another glory of the Stars... The first man is of the earth, earthly: the second Man is the Lord from Heaven."(1 Corinthians 15:40-41,47) The devils of hell are mankind because we are living in these Inner Worlds right now. Our location on the Astral Plane will depend on the quality of our thoughts & feelings or emotions. Negative feelings or desires such as hate, anger, fear, ("Fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in Love."-1 John 4:18) lust, criticism, etc will draw us down to the lower levels. In the Inner Worlds, birds of a feather flock together, or in other words, like attracts like.
GATES OF HELL picture by rolostrip
Contrary to what the orthodox Christian Priests would have us believe no one has to remain in hell for eternity. No God of Love & Mercy would allow such a thing. The Divine Love of God, or the Christ, always resides in our Hearts no matter what we have done or no matter where we are. This means that even in the depths of hell we can still learn to feel the Divine Love of God in our Hearts thus opening up a Doorway from hell to Heaven. In the Apostle Paul's epistle to the Romans he says: "I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, ...nor height, nor depth... shall be able to separate us from the Love of God."(Romans 8;39 Bible) The Apostle Peter teaches that "Christ... being put to death in the flesh but quickened by the Spirit... went and preached unto the spirits in prison which sometime were disobedient... in the days of Noah... For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit."(1 Peter 3:18-20, & 4:6) After death all spirits eventually progress up from the Astral Plane. According to Emmanuel Swedenborg spirits immediately after death go to a Spirit World resembling the physical world they have been living in which is neither a hell nor a heaven. I believe this is sometimes referred to as purgatory. Here they are prepared to move on up to a heaven or paradise temporarily. According to the Ascended Masters there are no gradations of the Astral or psychic world. It is one element which is wholly destructive. It contains nothing of the Christ because it is simply the accumulation of discordantly qualified energy released into the atmosphere by the vicious thoughts, words, feelings and actions of human beings both embodied and disembodied. At some time in the future the Astral or psychic world will be forever dissolved from this earth.
