Is there a master plan or is it all just random trippyness? Is it just a great big fucking trip.
Either way it's a great big fucking trip.

I tried again and got to 3 minutes so at least I saw the fire bit.
Fuckin idiots like him need to be shot...
I don't know about generic memory but genetic memory is kind of remembering your own birth. I guess it could also include things like time travel, ancestral memories etc. Definitely see your point thereGeneric memory, as far as humans go, strikes me as a term similar to quantum teleportation. A real term with real implications but almost never used casually to mean anything remotely based in reality.
The fire bit, really accentuated how hell is specifically, hot. This is a new revelatory concept, apparently.
Heaven is being closer to God. Hell is the absence of God. Both are a result of how consciousness chooses to perceive... either dualistically and in separation, or as one with divinity. These are allegories for ways of life, ways of choosing to live. You can be alive and live in Hell if you are not in right relation with spirit.
Hell as a hot place came from the fiction Dante's Inferno written in the Middle Ages, which was based on a Hadean version of the underworld from Greece. Except in Greece, everyone ended up in Hades, and it was divided into different sections. Everyone went there, good or bad. It wasn't until later that the idea of judgment came into place, which is what Dante copied in his works. If you were judged poorly you went to hell to burn for all eternity, and if not you entered paradise.
In the Middle Ages, so many people were illiterate that the story became part of pop culture very quickly, and the Church was all too happy to usurp it to manipulate their audiences. In reality, the original Koine refers to Hell as an existence without God and doesn't say much else on the subject.

OK so I'm not expert on this, but that seems really unlikely. Dantes inferno describes a layered hell, starting hot for the least bad sinners, and ending in a frozen circle for the worst sinners, the traitors.
Furthermore, there are passages in the new testament predating Dantes inferno describing hell as a blazing furnace among other hot descriptors.
Soo... How can it stem from Dante?
Research, and talking to clergy.
Not quite the enlightening answer I was hoping for...
Ah, but apparently in Zoroastrianism, hell is a "cold and ill-smelling place where the souls of sinners are tormented" sorry can only quote from memory but will source when I get time.Well if hell is so hot, then heaven - being the polar opposite - must be bloody freezing! :D
You're right. It didn't.OK so I'm not expert on this, but that seems really unlikely. Dantes inferno describes a layered hell, starting hot for the least bad sinners, and ending in a frozen circle for the worst sinners, the traitors.

I recall hearing from a girl's youtube channel that the aura changes over the course of three and half days following death. Unrelated but I thought it worth mentioning.They did a study where even when the heart stops the brain still lights up for several minutes after death even when brainwave activity can't be recorded. They say you are concious of your own demise... I think or hope we simply enter another realm..another dimension.
