What leads to falling into hell - A guide to living correctly - [True Stories from the Spiritual World]

(Last Update:

I believe everyone has heard stories about heaven and hell at least once. They are told all over the world, even if the scenery varies somewhat.

Why is that? Heaven and hell are not just old tales or parables; they actually exist.

However, in modern times, many people live their lives thinking, "As long as it's fun, that's all that matters," and there are countless individuals who end up in hell after death.

We will deliver the criteria of good and evil as shown by God regarding what leads to falling into hell.

Mysteries of Hell QA

Q. Why did God create hell?

A. It was not God, but humans who created it.

Humans are reincarnating (spiritual training) aiming for God, who is the parent of their souls.

However, as more people go astray in that process, a lower spirit realm emerges, and later, Lucifer, one of the seven archangels, fell and became a demon, leading to the establishment of a true hell.

Q. How many people have fallen into hell?

A. More than half have fallen.

In modern times, atheism and materialism have spread, and more people are living selfishly and falling into hell.

Therefore, the Earth God El Cantare has sent a Messiah to the earth and has also descended to carry out salvation activities.

Q. If I don't commit crimes, won't I fall into hell?

A. No, it doesn't necessarily mean you won't fall.

If your heart is filled with desires and anger, and you resonate with the same wavelength as the inhabitants of hell, you will fall into hell after death.

Additionally, those who spread wrong ideologies will also fall into deep hell.

The work of angels in hell

Those in hell can return to heaven if they reflect on their mistakes.

Since God wants to 'save people', the angels descend into hell to guide them, providing opportunities for realization.

Angels create a base camp in hell, as shown in the image above, and travel back and forth to heaven.

There is a danger of being attacked if found by demons, but still, angels do not cease their rescue activities.

The hell I have seen - personal experiences -

“A youth who continued to have nightmares for about 10 years” N.O. (Chiba Prefecture, teenager)

From elementary school to high school, I had dreams of going to hell once a month. In a gray town, I was chased by demons and woke up just before being struck by a metal rod. Each time, I jumped up in fear of being 'killed'.

I thought that the reason I had such nightmares might be related to my relationship with my father. My father was abusive and verbally harsh, and since I had to protect my mother and sister while doing housework from a young age, the fear of not being able to 'escape' from this situation might have connected to hell.

Later, when I developed faith in the Happy Science taught by my grandmother in high school, I found a mental refuge and was able to discuss things with my father.

Since then, I was able to spend peaceful days with my mother and sister, and I stopped having nightmares. I realized the importance of facing my heart and deepening my faith.

“The Hungry Ghost Hell I saw in meditation” S.S. (Saga Prefecture, 20s)

Last year, when I took the 'Secret Transmission: Meditation on the River of Three Paths' at the Tohoku Tazawako Seishinkan.

First, I went to the River of Three Paths and saw my attachments at the riverbed, where I saw a bankbook and a red-black stone engraved with 'love'. I realized that it represented my attachment to saving money while being anxious about whether I could get married and my desire for love from someone I liked.

After that, when I went to the Hungry Ghost Hell, an illustration of a woman possessed by a hungry ghost appeared, overlapping with my desire to buy luxury cosmetics. I wanted to become beautiful but couldn't, and the more I sought, the more I felt a thirst like drinking saltwater, wanting cosmetics.

I was struck by the realization that this unfulfilled heart connects to the Hungry Ghost Hell.

After the training, my passion for the man I was attached to cooled, and my desire to receive love from others decreased.

In conclusion

“If your heart is hell now, you will fall into hell after death. If your heart is heaven now, you will go to heaven after death. Those with the heart of a bodhisattva will return to the world of bodhisattvas.”
In this way, 'the state of your heart while living now and where you go after death are the same', and it is consistent across this world and the next.

When a person dies, they are judged not only by their actions in life but also by what they thought in their heart, determining whether they go to heaven or hell.

In modern times, there are numerous values, but the heavenly way of living that God seeks from humans does not change with time.

Let us know the difference between good and evil and walk a happy life in both this world and the next.
