Hell as oblivion

[kahljorn]

According to any gnostic, early christian, buddhist, hindu etc. Oblivion is actually union with God and Earth is as far from God as you can get. Hence "Falling from the garden of eden" which is essentially a metaphore that runs through many religions(all of them, I think) indicating that we have fallen from God's presence and entered the materialistic world of Duality. This makes sense in many ways.

Have you ever heard of Hermes trismegestus? Read his, "Poimadres". If you can find the narrative version I think it's better than the original, although you're probably into that biblical lingo.
