Hell and the Underworld: Literal, Symbolic or Nonexistent?
Mark Twain said: "Go to Heaven for the climate and Hell for the company." The ideas of Hell and the Underworld exist in every mythology: Pagan, Egyptian, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Greco-Roman, Native American, Secular, etc. This class will explore why this is so. Practically, we will explore:
- How we enter the underworld through our personal relationships
- How we enter the underworld through our dreams.
- How to address the pain of our own "hellish" thinking
- Ideas about justice and judgment after death
- Praying for our deceased loved ones
Instead of living in fear or ignorance, let's examine the psycho-spiritual reasons that humans in every culture rediscover and wrestle with this universal psychological phenomenon.
