Well, if you want a VERY deep and robust examination of Sheol, and aren't superstitious about esoteric occult knowledge, or theological history researched from an anthropological point of view by a kaballist who subscribes to the actual hebrew faith... I'll just leave this here. Welcome to the Aquarian age, its not like this stuff is secret anymore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUCW-PMBvKE&t=1326s

In the Torah, hell is not entirely physical; rather, it can be compared to a very intense feeling of shame. People are ashamed of their misdeeds and this constitutes suffering which makes up for the bad deeds. When one has so deviated from the will of God, one is said to be in Gehinnom. This is not meant to refer to some point in the future, but to the very present moment. The gates of teshuva (return) are said to be always open, and so one can align his will with that of God at any moment. Being out of alignment with God's will is itself a punishment. Kabbalah is describe seven "compartments" or "habitations" of hell, just as they describe seven divisions of heaven. These divisions go by many different names; Sheol = "underworld", "Hades"; "grave" Abaddon = "doom", "perdition" Be'er Shachat = "pit of corruption" Tit ha-Yaven = "clinging mud" Sha'are Mavet = "gates of death" Tzalmavet = "shadow of death" Gehinnom = "valley of Hinnom"; "Tartarus", "Purgatory" there also exist additional terms that have been often used to either refer to hell in general or to some region of the underworld; Azazel = "goat of departure", "scapegoat"; "entire removal", "damnation" Dudael = "cauldron of God" Tehom ="abyss"; "sea", "deep ocean" Tophet = "fire-place", "place of burning", "place to be spit upon"; "inferno" Tzoah Rotachat = "boiling excrement" Mashchit = "destruction", "ruin" Dumah = "silence" Neshiyyah = "oblivion", "Limbo" Bor Shaon= "cistern of sound" Eretz Tachtit = "lowest earth" Masak Mavdil = "dividing curtain" Haguel ="(place of) destruction", "loss", "waste" Ikisat = "serpents", "dragons"; "place of future punishment"

That's pretty consistent with my experiences in the lower astral, actually. The lower astral is comprised of countless hellscapes, many of which do not even have names as they were birthed more from modern interpretations and beliefs that have reached the collective consciousness or whatever you want to call it. The astral spectrum as I call it is very strongly influenced by macro human psyches. They can be experienced as places when you are deep enough into the experience, but as waves of emotion or thought if you are conscious. These are very subtle, by the way. So I wouldn't be surprised if that's where Sheol was originally experienced. Honestly though, a lot of lower astral hellscapes get so abstract that I'm not even sure why people would bother trying to name them. So maybe, maybe not. But, when you think about it, humanity, hell, god? It kinda makes sense for them to be connected to human consciousness on some level. This is a being that (Allegedly) can see right through all our bullshit after all. And demons? Well, if you want to know something interesting, look up the 4 signs of an abusive relationship. Then look at the pattern of a demonic possession. When you take into account the goal behind each stage, you get this: Stage 1: The aim is to get real estate within your mind. Stage 2: The aim is to leave you stranded, and unable to get help. Stage 3: The aim is to cripple your personal sense of agency, and weaken you of your power. Stage 4: The aim is to assert their control over you. Demons are like us with the human element removed.

Brazil had a carnival where they mocked jesus. They had many floats that depicted demons and the like. They even had an actor play jesus as he was chased and beaten up by demons and then spat on. They then had a natural disaster happen shortly after. https://youtu.be/UMahGwb5PtM

Oklahoma has tornados constantly despite all the churches and religious folk. They must be doing it wrong. ....Or it's just an area prone to certain natural disasters.

Shhhh... It's jeebus getting mad in the clouds!!!! Well, the old desert deity "EL". (Weird that's what God is also called. Yes,it's a general term for "God" , but it's root is not.) was a storm god, after all. I feel like when people say "God's justice!!!" they're really just looking down on people in an attempt to think they're better.

Well unlike Oklahoma this didnt happen immediately after a specific event making a mockery of god. Like same weekend it happened to be exact as in it got canceled because of this. Also lightning striking the statue of jesus in rio de janero or however its spelled happened. I dont think this was the same time but the same year basically. Meaning god was angry. I mean you saw that reaction to the specific event and i feel like the two are tied.

I in no way feel im better than anyone. Im just as blasphemous and wicked in my own way. But i try to better myself and do better. I dont see my self as any worse or better than any other person as i feel when the time comes God too will hand down justice to me. No holier than thou just trying to show instances of God being real to those who dont believe. How many coincidences need to happen before people realize things happen for a reason.

I don't think coincidence and synchronicity are ways to verify god. Just comes across as confirmation bias to me, but I'm not saying your wrong either. If you want to prove god, you have to peel back the layers of reality. Reality is far more abstract than any of us know, especially when you take sub particle physics into account.

The thing is, there seems to be an argument for how things might be contradicting when it comes to God. People always like to use the bible to base their arguments around alongside how the world works and things not explained in the bible that happens irl. I think for one to truly get it they must immerse themselves. Im not talking about "i read the bible and still dont believe" type deal im talking about born again. It took me reimmersing myself in my faith to realize wow it make so much sense now. If you look for God you will find him. Those who openly reject God are blinded so ofc they will think of miracles as coincidence or that bad things happen here and these people are religious so its not true. Just like there is a deeprr complex understanding to life there is also one for God
