15 B 6. The Holy Spirit teaches thus: There IS no hell. Hell is only what the ego has made OF THE PRESENT. The BELIEF in hell is what PREVENTS you from UNDERSTANDING the present, because YOU ARE AFRAID OF IT. 

Isn’t it amazing that it actually makes sense? What do I mean? Living a human life you keep running, new ideas, motives, targets, new relationships, new house, new wife, new husband, new everything… The nature of it all is change. You don’t realize that the one moment that you are continuously skipping is the moment now. You fill your time by not being present.

What would you do if time stood still, when there was no past or future, well, in truth there isn’t. Immediately you might think that it would be boring or scary or.. who knows what it would be for you? Fearful perhaps. Now specifically this releasing the past and the future is part of the practice in transformation.

Awakening to the truth of Who you are is allowing yourself to be still, to leave every description or tendency of yourself and become quiet. To what? To be present Now. Now is not as you think it is, Now is a portal to timelessness. It has nothing to do with time, but it has everything to do with YOU.
