This was a place where Max, a thief while alive, could learn how pointless his life of crime was.
The point is, there are many such places in the afterlife for this kind of purpose.
So.....why would we want to retrieve someone like UBL? Wouldn't that thwart the higher purpose of what the afterlife has in store for those who need such lessons?

I'm pretty sure "Max" as related by Bruce, was not a thief, but actually an "emotional sadist" type who had been a psychologist/therapist type and who had used his position of "authority" and "service" to manipulate, undermine, and emotionally hurt others because he got off on it. Reminds me of the semi old SNL skit with "Sean Connery" on Jeopardy, "Alex, i'll take "The Rapist" for 200." In a mock exasperated voice Alex replies, "Mr Connery, it's Therapist, not "the rapist". Something about Alex's mother is then probably mentioned..
Sometimes i think the Hell for people like this is much more lacking in Light than the Hell that people like Bin Laden may end up, because at least in the latter's eyes they are fighting for a cause and consider it war wherein civilian causalities will happen. While i'm not defending this, as i believe in and try to practice non violence, i do believe this is inherently less lacking in Light than what someone like Max does.
Re: 9-11, from what i've reserached and what my intuition tells me, it was a mix of an inside job and just letting things happen that they already were aware of the probability before hand and WANTED to happen for their own lacking in light agenda.
This makes it more complex and harder to unravel for those not in the know, when it's mixed like this. It certainly was all quite "convenient" to their agenda of invading Iraq not long after. Or, do you not believe the former brave, venerated CIA agent and her former Ambassador husband on the lying and manipulation that went on with that hoax?
But since i suspect you're a fan of Fox News, Glenn Beck, and the like, i doubt you would really consider any of the above as the shockwaves to your belief system structure might unravel most of your inner Galaxy. (I do believe you are rubbing off on me Mr. Volu, or i just "channeled" you temporarily)
Quote:Another point- isn't the purpose of retrieving to offer ourselves up for this activity, and then letting Helpers guide us to those who need it the most? Is it really up to us to decide who we should retrieve?
Very good point and very well said. I completely agree. "Not my will be done, but the Will of the Creative Forces be done" is one of the most expanded teachings there is besides that of PUL.
