Hi Nomad,

Our perceptions of this world create a heaven or a hell of it for ourselves and others.  

Where you look for heaven with eyes that see clearly you will find it.

Hi Nomad,

The situation is… If you really feel bad at being in that place you are really close of going out of it.
If you don't feel this way, knowing or not that place is hell won't make any difference once you will only feel able to live in there.

The best way to one avoid to live at a “hell” in the afterlife is fill up one’s heart with good feelings and the mind with healthy thoughts. This way if one arrives at a “hell” we’ll feel it as “hell”. (due that will be able to make his/her way out of there)
