My favourite bible quote is: There is no rest for the wicked. That is the kind of knowledge that I can identify with. I can see that in you too, how you don't stop fighting for what you think is right.
As for our cave origin - in our German word for 'hell', "Hölle", we still hear the "Höhle", which means 'cave'. So the bible explanation and and your native american friend's explanation do not contradict in my ears. Hell (cave) is where we are coming from, sky (Heaven, Himmel) is where we are going to. Go to hell means start again. I find that a really simple rule of thumb to get the orientation right. I don't know the hanging context you speak of, but it reminds me of the tarot card, the one before the death card. It resembles the headstand in yoga philosophy. - Not too bad a recommendation to do likewise. 2012/12/8 Allan H <[email protected]> > do you even know what the spirit is??
