Quote:I have never personally experienced a "hell" while doing retrievals. I have seen, rather, kind of "stuck" situations, but no one mired in anything resembling a kind of hell.
I don't focus much on doing conscious retrievals, because i've been having retrieval dreams for quite awhile now, and know i'm very active in that during my sleep state. Since i work in what is sometimes intense service type work during my waking state, i don't feel the need to focus on waking retrievals.
Anyways, i have had some dream remembrances of being in some pretty dark levels and doing retrieval work there. These, i must stress where "levels" or collective dimensional areas of consciousness wherein the folks stuck there, did not even resemble human beings as we think of them. They appeared so distorted and so lacking in light, because they lived what some might call more overtly evil lives. In any case, a severe lack of self/other PUL consciousness was present in these folks and levels in general.
My understanding is, is that many people don't do much work in those darker realms because the energies there are too difficult and challenging to deal with. Even those of us who do work there, well we don't do it all the time because it's too intense. It's only once in awhile that i remember a dream retrieval from one of these levels. Most of the ones i remember are more "typical"--people a bit stuck in their minds and beliefs, just unaware they've died, etc, etc and otherwise decent folk that just need a little help and nudging.
The other levels is what Bruce talked about when he talked about the harder cases and the temporal hells. Edgar Cayce would occasionally remember going through some of these lower levels on the way to the more expanded levels of the nonphysical. The consciousnesses he perceived in these lower levels always appeared grotesque and distorted to him, barely human, and he understood that this reflected their inner mind states.
To do work on these lower levels one has to have the ability to redirect and/or limit their emotional receptors while doing work there. A ability to detach from one's emotions some is quite helpful. I could not imagine a more emotional person being able to do retrievals there. They would be overwhelmed. You strike me as a fairly emotionally attuned person.
Quote:That doesn't mean it doesn't exist -- but I simply do not believe it. Perhaps I see it as "not there."
Some might call that simple human avoidance. Humans in general are really known for ignoring info that they just don't want to be aware of. The more uncomfortable the reality, the more more folks tend to repress or wish/believe it away.
However, it's really important for both individual growth and the growth of the human collective to face more directly the shadow side of life/the larger reality, but at the same time our guidance is wise enough to know how much to expose us to in a given moment or period, based on a combo of factors. Basically it knows how much we can handle or not handle.
Talking about it here or with others in general, is one thing, it's a whole other to experience it for self. But, perhaps seeing people talk about it, plants necessary subconscious seeds to be awakened at the right time.
