Does Hell have an equal amount of space as Heaven? Does one get bigger at times to accomodate more...say like when there is the sudden death of large amounts of people (WWII, The Tsunami, 9/11)? Is there a ratio of good and evil that can never be changed? Is it more likely for human nature to reach 100% evil or 100% good.

I'm an absurdist by the way, so I only ask to stir-up discussion :)

The heavens are 'many', but hell is one...I think I've seen something like that somewhere....oh, of course....

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth....Gn.1.1

100% stuff...yeah, in the end, it's either one or the other, but human nature will most likely lean to the evil side; which is good, because once it gets there, it can only get better.

Good luck!

I'm not sure about the real estate market in the afterlife! Location, location, location -- tee hee!

Well, I don't think that space will be the same in the next world as it is here. Once we have left our bodies, our souls will exist in a plane where space & time don't apply. It's not a physical "place". Hell might be the size of a dime or it might be bigger than a galaxy. It won't matter because we won't have bodies, only spirits. I think Heaven & Hell are more like a state of being. A sort of dream. When you are asleep, you can travel anywhere in the world, you could run across a football field or fly over mountains but it is your mind that is in that space. Perhaps when we die, you continue to have a pleasant dream (Heaven) with whatever visions you choose or a nightmare (Hell) where you play out your worst fears & torments for eternity (maybe it's a pit of fire or maybe you'll be covered in bugs or maybe you're just stuck in a cubicle pushing paperwork that never goes away -- everyone's idea of Hell is different). I think it's an individual experience.

There's no way to be sure until we go there! We can only speculate. The only glimpse we have is when someone flatlines & then comes back. Each time they describe a bright white light & a feeling of euphoria. It is a pleasant experience going to Heaven, at least we know that. But what it will be like when we actually get there, who knows? They will never run out of space in Heaven or Hell. I would like to think there are more people in Heaven but who knows?

When large amount of people die, they are first accommodated in transition zones, where they first rest and get to learn from their lives, as in a life review.

As for the expansion, the Divine is where all of us have come from in the first place, so naturally 'it' is large enough to accommodate all of us.

Heaven or Hell are imaginary concepts according to our judgements of human actions in this earth plane.

For the divine this is all just a play, as we come here to play out certain characters and offer learning expereinces to each other, and as in any play, when it is over, all the actors go out together and have a few drinks.

We all meet up in heaven, as one.

There we know that light and dark are just different expressions of the same Source energy.

That is why, no matter how dark a person might get here, he or she can always be redeemed as it is all about energy, no matter how dirty a room might get it can always be cleaned.

Though sometimes rooms need to trashed or some at least objects in it. and that is why we have our tsunamis, earthquakes and 9/11s, when there is so much building of negative energy at one end, so much resistance builds up that an explosion of energy is liable, and it can manifest in any way possible.

These tsunamis and 9/11s all occur at our personal life. When there is too much of a build up of negative energy, we feel like breaking something to release it, or break a bone, have an accident, or simply a breakdown, something old has to be broken apart to have a breakthrough, physical dimension is just a minor representation of what happens at the larger energy level.

In world there always remains an equal amount of goodness as there is 'badness'. It depends on what we choose to focus on.

We create the reality we live in, by focusing on the kind of energy we want to attract into our life; we do so, through our thinking, as we attract to ourselves what we think about the most. This is the law of attraction, on which the entire universe which is creation of energy flow operates.

Look, this is really very simple:

The Tooth Fairy takes all the nice corpses to Happy, Happy Easter Bunny Land while The Bogey Man takes all the nasty corpses to Sweaty Armpit World, then Santa Claus sorts everything out during his lunch hour. He's so busy, you know, because it's Christmas every day in Heaven! (Except for Hindus, Muslims, Jews and Atheists who have their own arrangements).

There! Go to by-bys now, and when you wake up all the bad things will have gone away.

Hell's acquired a lot of territory with good development potential in the suburbs. This complicates the answer to your question.

But to summarize it, hell is a lot bigger, compared to heaven. Plenty of room in hell to explore around and find some space for yourself.

Heaven's smaller because the people there are all exactly alike.

By hell, if you mean the grave of mankind, then it is unlimited since it is a virtual concept, not a real one. Hell as in grave, Sheol, Hades, or Death (in Rev 20) need to be thought of as books of God in which names of the dead are written. The dead themselves are nonexistent.

Only a little flock receives the heavenly resurrection, the first one. It is for the Saints, the Born Again.

Jesus clearly stated (Matt 5:5) that the meek shall inherit the earth.

Hi there.I believe Heaven and Hell are not physical places like there are on Earth .I believe they belong to another dimension which is not bound by the universe .When the time comes to be judged by God we will either be with him for all eternity (Heaven) or separated from him for all eternity(Hell).God will have no use for the universe and he will probably terminate it.

Don't worry about the things you need not to.
You will find hell quite spacious
even
all, except a few like me, are thrown into it.
(lol)
Ratio of good and bad varies. (see history)
100 evil is devil
&
100 good is angel
so impossible.

Hell is not a physical place, but a state of mind. So it has no need to expand or contract...still I would say that Hell does bear SOME resemblance to an accordion...

It better be - at the rate humanity's going Heaven's just taking up dead space. ... Of course there are always those curled up dimensions of M-theory, you know. ... Just think how useful they would be as the perfect penitentiary for the lost "evail" souls. LOL :-)
