Does hell exist on earth? The theory that the planet Earth is hell
“Ya is present in all insects. As a matter of fact, insects are their Ya ”(Viktor Pelevin“ The Life of Insects ”)He has his own concept of punishing and rewarding the inhabitants of his “prison”. I call this world a prison for simplicity. Rather Earth- this is “an institution with very strict rules”: for one - a prison, for another - a school or a hospital ... Despite the fact that such a place in comparison with the world of Light simply cannot be considered Paradise, the Earth does not look like Hell in the classical (see Dante " The Divine Comedy”) sense of the word: there are both their own “punishment cells” and their own “concert halls”. Even in the worst places on Earth, you can find reflections of the beauty of the spiritual world. Does Hell exist as a place saturated with suffering?
From my own experience, I know practically nothing about such Ada. I do not know any other way of posthumous punishment of people, except for forcing them to life, although sometimes life in the form of a person can differ little from hell. The dark places I've been to are nothing like Hell. I am confused only by "", on the edge of which I am now. I climbed to the exit to the surface along some tunnel of my Destiny, went outside, but next to it is an abyss into which I do not want to look. What's in it? My main feeling from it is that there is the beginning of the ascent, which I want to forget about. It is possible that after many lives I went up through the labyrinths from there and do not want to repeat everything again.
Moreover, after the movie "Amadeus" I was afraid to even think about Hell - a kind of new phobia, but to describe this point of my worldview, I had to try to tune in to Hell in order to look there at least out of the corner of my eye, and three days ago I had a bright colored dream ( approx. Don't read for the faint of heart! Rather, it all started with a black and white "introduction": a bunch of huge spiders with long legs, swarming under the net and ready to break out. After preparing me with this vile sensation, a corner of the room lit up, where, next to an overturned box, a huge black beetle fought with a poisonous earwig. He managed to bite off her poisonous tail and began to devour her alive. At that moment, the lid of the box fell on him with an edge and almost cut off his head: a hemolymph splashed out of his mouth and mixed with what he had just eaten, but the beetle did not lose his head and began to eat everything again. He was alive! Before I could turn away from the disgusting spectacle, such a heavy object fell on the beetle that the beetle was almost completely outside its shell. In addition, its contents escaped in a stream from what now remotely resembled a mouth. Nevertheless, IT continued to live, devouring its own insides!
In the dream, it was absolutely clear to me what this dream was about, but when I woke up, I could not put it into words. It was the life of not a low-spiritual, but, as it were, an absolutely soulless society, the main driving forces which are physiological needs. The main one is to eat no matter who. Maybe the birth in the form of an insect is the real earthly Hell?
The above does not mean that Dante's Hell does not exist, but he saw souls in their posthumous suffering, and I am trying to understand where they are enclosed, in what material shell. It seems to me that without it even punished souls cannot exist in the material world. Is there a place of punishment, like Hell, in the spiritual world, outside the Earth? I myself do not know the answer, but from two of my friends who remember life before birth, and whom I can at least partially trust, I heard about a certain gas. After death, a person can stay in this suffocating space from several days to thousands of years, accumulating the desire to live. They talk about incredible suffering, sometimes formlessness and a lot of similar souls, hardly distinguishable from gas. It seems to be located on another planet. Maybe this is the real Hell...
I could suggest the following scheme:
A person in his particular life "passes the exam" to move "to the next level." In case of failure, the transition "down" is a punishment, but not Hell. Failure to "pass the exam" by suicide or otherwise results in punishment by Hell. Staying there returns a person to the desire to live (“pass exams”), but punishment can include not only being in Hell, but also going through all the “life” stages again, which in itself is extremely unpleasant.
If there is a hell in the world, then it is most likely located in the very center of the cradle of mankind - the African continent. Here, on the territory of about 623 thousand square kilometers, bloody conflicts, religious and civil wars, coups and revolutions. Slave trade and uprisings repeatedly almost completely devastated these lands.
For enlightened Europe, the Central African Republic until the 19th century remained a blank spot on the maps due to its remoteness from the oceans and difficult terrain, although the first mention of it is found in the written sources of the ancient Egyptians. This cruel world is the CAR.

Judging by archaeological finds, people settled in this area in the Neolithic era. In ancient times, the migration routes of many African peoples passed through this land, but its first inhabitants, most likely, were pygmies - representatives of a short black people. On the monuments ancient egypt records have been preserved of the distant country of Uam, inhabited by "black dwarfs".
Later, various early states. One of them was formed by rebellious slaves, who, judging by the symbolism on the artifacts found, were Christians. Later, the inhabitants of central Africa experienced the invasion of the Arabs and forced Islamization.
The Sudanese peoples who resisted the Muslims were forced to hide in deep, inaccessible areas. An ancient caravan route passed through the present territory of the Central African Republic (CAR) to Egypt. Merchants delivered ivory and slaves along it to the Middle East. Arab slave hunters practically devastated these places by the middle of the 18th century.

The first representatives of European peoples who fell into late XIX century in these places, were the French and Belgians. In 1889, Fort Bangui was founded at the rapids of the Ubangi River. Four years later, the first Catholic mission arose near him.
The modern eastern and western borders of the current CAR appeared as a result of agreements between France, Germany and England on the delimitation of colonial possessions in 1894 and 1897. In fierce battles, by 1903 the country was conquered and received the status of the colonial territory of Ubangi-Shari, which belonged to the French.
The indigenous population continued to resist even after this, but a series of uprisings between 1907 and 1931 were brutally suppressed. The French authorities reduced the population of certain areas by 60-80% by their actions. It was only after the Second World War that the indigenous population managed to achieve representation in the French parliament. However, MP Barthelemy Boganda, who is considered the founder of the Central African Republic, did not live to see the independence of his homeland. Shortly before her acquisition, he died in a plane crash.

The independence of the Central African Republic was proclaimed on August 13, 1960. The country became a presidential republic with a single political party- Movement of the social evolution of Black Africa. But the peace of the state did not last long - on January 1, 1966, a military coup took place, which brought Colonel Jean-Bedel Bokassa to power. He dissolved parliament, repealed the constitution, and appointed himself president, head of government, and chairman of the only party.
Bokassa ruled for more than 13 years, plunging the country into monstrous corruption, renaming it an empire and crowning himself in December 1976. Against the backdrop of a serious aggravation of the situation and the beginning of popular unrest in September 1979, the emperor was overthrown by French paratroopers. After the renunciation of power, it turned out that the ruler of the country could eat people. The chef told him about it. The French military returned power to the president, and the republic was restored.

However, peace was not restored in the country. Two years later, another revolution took place. Several more followed. The economic situation was getting worse. The Central African Republic began to be shaken by civil wars and armed clashes between various groups.
Since 2012, they have grown into a religious war - between Christians and Muslims of the country. Against the backdrop of mutual atrocities, murders, rapes, looting and destruction of the infrastructure of the state, the UN Security Council in January 2013 authorized the entry of French and African Union peacekeeping troops into the territory of the Central African Republic. However, this only led to an aggravation of the inter-religious conflict.
Only from 5 to 8 December 2013 in the capital - Bangui - killed about 400 civilians. Peacekeepers from Chad were accused by local Christians of supporting Muslims. Thousands of minors appeared in the ranks of the fighting opponents, cases of ritual cannibalism began, and in front of the soldiers of the peacekeeping contingent.
In 2014, about 160 thousand people left the capital - almost half of the population. At the beginning of this year, the sending of peacekeepers to the CAR was announced in the EU countries. After several murders of medical workers in the country, representatives of the organization "Doctors Without Borders" temporarily suspended their work. Only at the end of July 2014 was it possible to achieve the signing of a ceasefire agreement between representatives of the Muslim and Christian forces. But the war could not be stopped - until now, the peace agreement has been constantly violated, armed clashes, terrorist attacks and reprisals against the civilian population have been taking place.

Despite the deposits of diamonds, uranium, gold, oil, the presence of significant forest and hydropower resources, the republic is among the poorest states on the planet.
Infant mortality here, according to the latest data, is more than 10%, the average life expectancy for men is 48 years, for women - 51 years. According to 2007 estimates, infection with the immunodeficiency virus is above 6%. The greatest danger to the stability of the state is still the almost total banditry of various groups. Human life, in fact, is worth nothing in the Central African Republic.
On July 31, it became known that three Russian journalists were killed in the Central African Republic - Orkhan Dzhemal, cameraman Kirill Radchenko and director Alexander Rastorguev. Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The fact that the Earth is a hell of another world was not invented by me. Usually, to prove this thesis, they simply offer to look around. The whole human history is an endless meat grinder. War after war, epidemic after epidemic, famine, slave trade, torture, disease, genocide. And this is the world that the good Lord created? This moment confuses many, I think priests are no exception. Why is the world arranged this way and not otherwise, that is, not better? The conventional answers to this question do not sound very convincing. They talk about free will, about the fact that man himself is to blame for the existing evil, or that God punishes sinners, or that Satan does evil, but in all this there is some kind of uncertainty, some kind of feeling of being wrong. If the devil is torturing people, then why doesn't the almighty God stop him? If God punishes sinners in this way, then what is the fault of the baby, who, due to his age, simply did not have time to commit any crimes, and was run over by a car? Do people do evil themselves? Maybe. But there are very few truly evil people, why do they determine the appearance of the whole world, and throughout the entire existence of this world, and again, how did the Lord allow this? In general, somehow everything is not too weighty. But if we assume that we all died a long time ago, and are now in hell, then everything falls into place.
Earth is hell, there are no sinless people here. Pay attention to the well-known thesis that after the first fall of Adam and Eve, all subsequent mankind became sinners. Indirectly, this testifies in favor of the fact that the Earth is hell. Why should their descendants be responsible for Adam and Eve? This question confuses many, but if we assume that the Earth is hell, and sinners are gathered in it, then there is no contradiction. And there are no innocent babies and no undeserved torments.
Further, we know that the devil is the prince of this world, that is, it is he who is the ruler of the Earth. But it is also known about the devil that he is the lord of HELL. And again, this indirectly tells us the need to identify Hell and Earth. Then everything converges: the devil rules the Earth, the devil rules hell, which means that Earth and hell have a common ruler, at least Earth and hell are in the UNII, or even they are one and the same place.
The condemnation of suicide also becomes clear. This is an attempt to ESCAPE from prison without serving time.
The most terrible torment for a person is not really knowing what awaits him after death: that is, there will be life there, or there is nothing ahead. It really is a hell of a punishment. And it is clear that real hell will be exactly like this, well, in fact, God cannot be considered a primitive sadist who punishes people by frying them in a frying pan.
Knowing that the Earth is hell, you look differently than a contract with the devil in order to gain immortality. Imagine, the man himself, of his own free will, agreed to be ETERNALLY on Earth, that is, in hell. And it is understandable why they say about such a person that he ruined his soul. Of course he did. And what a diabolical mockery of the situation: the devil wins always and completely, in the case of the conclusion of such a contract. After all, a person remains in hell forever.
It may very well be that beyond hell there is another hell. Depending on the behavior, the offender may be amnestied, or they may tighten the regime. The commandments are an indication of the path to liberation.
The question arises, what does the real world look like in which we lived before we died and went to hell? If there were sinners in the real world, and they ended up in hell, that is, on Earth, then there was evil there too. I believe that the real world is a place where a person, every person, can communicate with God. And knowing exactly what God is, someone managed to do evil anyway. This is what it takes to be a very hardened sinner. Well, here's the punishment for this: the destruction of memory and sending to hell, that is, to Earth.
An area where rubbish from all over Cairo is manually disposed of.
Location
On the globe there are plenty of places that some war, pestilence or the rise to power of a black goggle-eyed dictator have made unsuitable for human habitation. However, all of the above is still a temporary phenomenon, while hell is eternal, and therefore terrible. We decided that only places where surrealistically terrible living conditions have developed historically and no changes are foreseen can claim a place on our list. Egyptian garbage slums in this sense, the perfect hell. The locals have no way out of here, and they can't imagine any other life.
On the one hand, there are some indications modern city, such as concrete houses with balconies, streets, cars. On the other hand, there is a clear imprint of the apocalypse on all this, since all the sidewalks, roofs of houses and the notorious balconies are littered to the brim with garbage. There is no water supply, sewerage and electricity. Piles of plastic burn in the streets and pigs roam, eating everything that can be devoured in the mountains of waste. And on the sidewalks and inside the concrete box houses, people, adults and children, sit and rummage through the garbage heaps. This is the Zabbali, an Egyptian caste that has been disposing of Cairo's waste for over a century. They pick up garbage from the city for free, bring it to their slums and sort it, choosing everything that can be recycled, and feed the organic matter to the pigs.
Zabbali are capable of recycling up to 80% of waste, while for industrial sorting plants this figure does not exceed 25%. It would seem impossible to imagine that life in these slums could become even worse. However, this has happened recently. In 2009, the authorities ordered the slaughter of all local pigs, fearing the spread of swine flu. This led to the accumulation of huge mountains of rotting organic garbage in the streets of Mokattam, and indeed Cairo itself. So now the pigs seem to have been returned to their place, and the garbage slums appear in all their original splendor.

After watching all sorts of nasty things, it's nice to look at something beautiful, for contrast. We also took care of this. In fairness, it should be said that in the same Egypt there are also extremely magical corners, far from the tourist trails. For example, the white beaches of Sidi Abdel Rahman, located on the Mediterranean coast, 132 kilometers from Alexandria. There is a five-star hotel for lovers of comfort and a Bedouin village for haters of civilization. The sea is blue and clean. The only thing that is practically absent here is Russian tourists.
chemical sea

Let's not belittle the achievements of our native land. In Russia, too, there are places that can easily claim to appear on our list. Firstly, it is, of course, Norilsk with its iridescent smog and snowdrifts in public transport. But we will not follow the well-worn paths: everyone knows about Norilsk. And we will take the "second" - the city of Dzerzhinsk, which in 2006, together with Norilsk, was included by the American Blacksmith Institute in the top ten dirty cities peace. IN Soviet time this city was considered the chemical capital of the Union: about forty large chemical industries are located here. Naturally, all this economy gave out and in some places still gives out a huge amount of waste, which is distributed around the neighborhood. Perhaps the most picturesque neighborhood in this sense is the village of Igumnovo, which stands on the shores of the "White Sea" - a giant sludge collector of the Kaprolactam plant *.

The authorities claim that the "sea" is filled with "chemical waste of the lowest hazard category", but just in case, access to it is prohibited. However, not for local residents who are happy to fish in the nearby stinky river. The natives are also famous for a simple and effective way of recycling industrial graphite impregnated with toxic compounds of lead, chlorine and sulfur: they heat the furnace with it. A graphite machine can be bought from the factory for only a thousand rubles. In the mornings, instead of fog, the chemical village is often enveloped in smog from the enterprise - here this is an everyday matter. And in the land where the inhabitants of Igumnov garden, the concentration of heavy metals is so high that the gardeners should have died long ago. Some do die - suddenly and for no apparent reason. But there are those who lived almost to eighty years. A scoundrel-man gets used to everything ...

In the same Nizhny Novgorod region, there are also places of pristine beauty. We recommend the "Russian Atlantis" - the city of Kitezh, or rather, what is left of it: Lake Svetloyar. According to legend, the inhabitants of Kitezh, instead of killing the attacking Tatars, meekly prayed. And their prayer was answered. God did not give his flock to the Tatars: he drowned them. Thus, a picturesque lake 40 meters deep appeared on the site of the city. Such an unusual depth interested scientists, and in 1968 divers examined the bottom of Svetloyar. Probably, God mistook them for the Tatars and again hid the city to hell, since the divers did not find any traces of it.
leper village
A colony of patients with leprosy in the center of China.
Location
Leprosy is an ancient Chinese curse. Scientists have established that this disease first appeared in China*. However, they began to separate patients from society relatively recently, in the 50s of the last century. Then a real epidemic raged in the country: China was the leader in the number of patients. Leper villages were organized throughout the country. Those who got there, as well as their children (although few of the kids inherited the disease, after all, 95% of people have a natural immunity to leprosy) had no chance of getting out of this ghetto. In the 1980s, the WHO distributed a cheap and effective leprosy medicine for free around the world, and the epidemic in China stopped. However, the villages remained. Ordinary Chinese are still afraid and do not accept their inhabitants into their society. Perhaps because even cured patients look intimidating. Many of them lost their eyes, as well as their toes and fingers, which rotted from infection or were eaten by rats at night - after leprosy, the limbs completely lose sensitivity, and the owner simply does not notice their loss.

However, Daingpan is not exactly a classic leper village. To be honest, we chose it because there are a huge number of colorful photographs from there, which were taken in 2003 by a Taiwanese journalist. She also succeeded in building a school in Daingpan. And in an ordinary leper Chinese village there is no school, journalists and photographers. There is nothing there but desperate legless, blind and armless cripples trying to somehow survive, and their neglected children.

As you probably guess, the Sichuan province also has its own heavenly places (by the way, there are almost more of them than in the rest of China). We recommend Huanglong Nature Reserve, or "Yellow Dragon". It is a cascade of natural travertine terraces (these are such cute round baths filled with turquoise water) descending from the mountain. When viewed from above on a sunny day, when the rays are reflected in the water, the baths look like the scales of a huge dragon. Yes, and there, nearby, is the only place on Earth where bamboo pandas live in the wild.
The Indian "capital of death", where corpses from all over the country are burned on the banks of the Ganges.
Location
The Hindus themselves do not at all consider Varanasi terrible. For them it is a city of light, a holy place. By the way, this is one of the most ancient human settlements on Earth, which at some point was a contemporary of Babylon and Luxor. Varanasi is also considered a major cultural center. There are four universities and a good half of Indian cultural figures live here.
However, if you get here directly from the plane, not prepared by the pan-Indian filth and poverty, it will not seem enough to you. According to Hindu belief, a person who died or at least cremated in Varanasi, where the Buddha delivered his first sermon, has a serious chance, without any lifetime meditations and hardships, to stop rebirth, free himself from samsara and achieve what is commonly called nirvana in the European sense.
As a result, the city is filled with terminally ill and dying of old age Indians, and not all of them have enough money for a hotel, so they often plunge into nirvana right on the streets. Add to this a huge number of beggars and scammers who speculate on the soul-saving atmosphere of the place. Also keep in mind that funeral chariots ply the streets, bringing corpses from all over the country for ritual burning on the banks of the Ganges. What remains after the burning, as well as a fair amount of city garbage, is dumped directly into the holy river, where in the morning the local population washes and brushes their teeth. We warn that photographing the ritual cremation and even looking at it is considered a great sin for strangers. So, if you had any chances to get rid of samsara before looking at these photos, now we will definitely drag you away with us!

You can rest from the horrors of Varanasi, for example, in the state of Sikkim, which in Indian mythology is considered the garden of the god Indra, the patron saint of paradise. Some signs of Eden are indeed observed here. For example, due to the fact that the state is located at different heights at the foot of the Himalayas, on its territory you can find about five thousand species of flowering plants, and not just any buttercups, but various orchids, poinsettias and, God forgive me, rhododendrons. There are crystal clear alpine lakes and a bunch of picturesque Buddhist temples here. And here, as you know, Boris Borisovich Grebenshchikov wanders along the mysterious mountain path.
In 1949, when the economy of the USSR was largely based on labor enthusiasm, some of the enthusiasts of the oil industry came up with a strange idea. Why not settle people who extract oil from the bottom of the Caspian Sea right next to the well, especially since there is a suitable rocky shoal in the neighborhood? Thus was founded the first and only in the world locality on a concrete platform in the open sea. More precisely, not just on the platform, but on complex design from metal beams, concrete slabs and sunken ships connected by overpasses-roads with car traffic. On big land ships and helicopters regularly sailed from the island.
At first, the village of Neftyanye Kamni resembled all Soviet workers' settlements on virgin lands, in permafrost and other desert places: brand new houses, attempts to plant a park, Grand opening own bakery and even a lemonade shop, young specialists, great hopes...
Years passed. Concrete new buildings dilapidated, enthusiasm faded, and production was gradually reduced. The park has deteriorated, only an electrical substation and some water supply remained from the infrastructure. Fewer and fewer people were ready to live with a view of concrete, rusty pipes and dilapidated barracks, and they were no longer young specialists, but quite adult hard workers without much hope.
At the moment, only a third of the industrial complex is operating in Neftyanye Kamny. The sea gradually eroded the platform and began to heat the first floors of the houses. The houses themselves look worse than Khrushchev's five-story buildings in some drunken hinterland: rubbish everywhere, broken glass. Some of the barracks are already completely uninhabited. However, people continue to live in the Oil Rocks as long as there is at least some work on the platform. Actually, this is the only local entertainment.

Despite the fact that a full-scale ecological catastrophy due to the vast and very neglected oil-producing complex, in this country you can also find pristine, untouched nature. This, for example, is a reserve in the Talysh mountains with the so-called Hyrcanian flora. Scientists claim that its representatives have been growing on Earth for several million years, having appeared long before mankind picked up a stick. Agree, it is curious to look at some hornbeam, under whose great-grandfather the last dinosaur died.
Do Hell and Heaven exist? This question was previously considered purely theological. For believers, there was no doubt that the soul is responsible for the deeds of man. Atheists completely denied the possibility of the existence of the soul and everything with it
related.
Origin of the concept
According to most, Hell is told in the Bible. Since so many facts set forth in Holy Scripture find both direct and indirect evidence, there seems to be no point in doubting whether Hell exists. However, the Bible unequivocally says that a person who does not have the Holy Faith, who does not keep the commandments, is waiting for Gehenna Fiery or Second Death. Many inattentive readers believe that this concept is synonymous with Hell (a place of eternal torment), but the Bible does not teach this. Yes, and physical evidence of Hell has not been found to this day. Why?
The psychological background of the concept of "Hell"
If we do not take into account what is actually written in the Bible, but look at the question, so to speak, from the point of view of a person who lived about two thousand years ago, then we can evaluate the idea of the existence of Hell in a different way. For pagans who do not know the rules and restrictions, perhaps some framework was needed to restrain the manifestation of instincts. In order to force people to accept the rules that promote their development, not to destroy each other indiscriminately, it was necessary to give them a "stick" and a "carrot". Hearing the ideas that Jesus conveyed to people, as well as their incorrect interpretation after the death of Christ, a person involuntarily wondered if Hell exists? What's next for him? The limiting tool turned out to be quite powerful.
Ideas of modern scientists
If earlier priests placed Hell underground, even called how deep it is, how many logs are used annually, now scientists are approaching the study of the issue more widely. Some believe that Hell may exist in another dimension. But the American astronauts saw "proof" of the existence of the underworld in space. This happened during the study. The astronauts, who were observing in orbit, saw a prominence that broke away from the luminary. It was similar to the inside of which silhouettes of flaming people were visible. Some scientists, considering the question of whether Hell exists, put forward assumptions about the possibility of its placement on very hot planets, of which there are many discovered in space.
Another point of view
Interesting fact. Whether or not people believe in the possibility of Hell and Paradise, but the teachings were created taking into account this fact as proven. The concepts are so voluminous and succinctly laid down in the worldview of modern mankind that it is almost impossible to bypass them. For example, many esotericists claim that Hell and Paradise exist. And you don't have to wait for death. We ourselves, with our thoughts and feelings, place our soul in one or another “place”, depending on the worldview. This happens even during our earthly life. Why wait for the transition to another world? Already in this, a person can find out whether Hell exists if he torments himself and others with pretensions and malice. Isn't the light taken from the soul due to its fall into sin the absence of Paradise, and the darkness that fills the whole person because of his eternal problems is not Hell? It turns out that the evidence of each person lives in the soul. There is no need for experiments and experiments, you just need to listen to your feelings, analyze them. If faith is strong, a person does not wish harm to others. So for him Paradise is a reality. If he descends to vices, then his soul is already in Hell!
