I'm worried about going to hell, and the whole prospect of hell. Although I am Catholic, lately, I have been more philosophical and I believe in a unity with all religions. I think that religions sometimes cause unneeded conflict due to extreme beliefs about who's right or wrong. I sometimes wonder if hell is literal or metaphorical, whether in the mind belief we are creators of own realities, so with higher consciousness we sort of are God. Some people said that Jesus was a mystic, and that his teachings were said on a literal when they were metaphorical. I'm divided by what I should believe in. I beleive in possibilities and not really conclusions. I'm afraid that because of these beliefs, if there is a literal hell and God will put me there, I just don't know what to think? My purpose is to bring love in the world, and I love everyone...I wouldn't want anyone (despite what they may have done) to go to eternal hell. I don't want to live in this fear..
