I feel that it is very likely that once we have spent our time on Earth, and done all the things we need to do - however many lives it may take, we then move on to the next world and continue growing in a way that is not possible on Earth. However, if this is the case, is there still room for a Hell? Can such a place really exist, or is it just a myth like all the others? I have never read or heard about a NDE in which the person found them selves in Hell. However, apart from that, I really don't know whether or not to believe in the Heaven and Hell scenario. Any one got any thoughts?

Any one got any thoughts? There actually exists an NDE Newsgroup, alt.consciousness.near-death-exp. The issue of hellish experiences has just been in discussion there for the last 2 weeks. The general tenor seems to be roughly: There exists an "hell of your own making". With other words: whether you meat heaven or hell is largly a question of your own mental state.
