You are infinite light/consciousness/soul, and this is just a small portion of your journey, this matrix is like a dream within a dream. The astral/obe/nde realm is the real realm of sorts, still part of the matrix, but extends in infinite frequency layers. I've been pulled by ETs, a hug is still a hug and surgery is still surgery and you still have a real body, spirit body, even a kind of real light dna.

But hell is not real in the way some believe. It is a consequence to serious harm of others, and hard core prisons, more or less, and temporal.

And no one wants anyone to go through that suffering, that is why we need to work on doing the work we came to do and waking up more. Its like mud and distortions on our light, and many are becoming what their own greater soul, for they are a portion of themselves and their memories are capped, would wish they never would become.

Its like a practicum, making our love and real in a very harsh world.

In any case, it has nothing to do with faith, though faith helps us, spirituality. It has to do with walking in the footsteps of Christ, whether he is real or metaphorical or both. Striving to be kind and see through the world, and help those in need, is what passes the tests.

An athiest who does this is being good for the sake of being good without any sense of reward.

God is Love. Not Saturn. Most of what they code is Saturn.
