I liked Shazam guys, pro Shazam here. Trying to keep it apolitical. Hard to believe I warned my kids about predators in tv and film that handle child actors but that's the world we live in. Hopefully no kids were molested making Shazam but you never know as there are some extremely evil paedos in hollywood managing the kiddies.
So had been reading a bunch of Swedenborg lately and you can too. He was talking about after death people immediately remember who they were in the world and have a full complete body (not physical but spiritual) which is essentially the same as prior to dying. I've had a lot of dreams where I learn to fly kind of like in Shazam. Anyway in Swedenborgs first state after death, and we'll touch on the tibetan book of the dead also, people remember who they were in the world and catch up with dead family and the like. They are in the first phase of dying so it can take up to thirty earth years to progress to stage two. Or it can happen immediately and they can immediately be banished to hell or sent to heaven. Generally it can't happen until they're brought into their inner self which is their real inner personality. I think he says this phase one happens in under one earth year but with the angels in the disincarnate plane there is no concept at all of time and space can be bent and shortened so it's like a dream state really.

I've been watching alot of police interrogation videos lately like of suspected murderers and one was even a police lady herself who killed a love rival and went undetected for like over a decade. Think her name was Lazarus. Last name. Anyway all these murderers are plotting murder inwardly and just dissimulating outwardly so that's what Swedenborg calls the inner and outer self. He says in the spiritual world (the disincarnate plane) noone can act differently outwardly to the inner self so their outer self has to be shut down and their inner self come to the fore. It's a complicated topic as Swedenborg recognizes children that die as children are always spared hell and prepared for heaven. He also states the endgame or goal of it all is regeneration or redemption, where people from freewill make the correct choices in life to lead into heaven: to put the group before the individual, to be useful to society, to contribute, to avoid gross sin like adultery or molesting kids etc. I guess most of law enforcement are probably good guys, like the Shazam people in the movie.
I find the study of psychology and the principles involved interesting.
So Swedenborg says after death you have the world of spirits where the good and bad intermix freely then they are sorted out and the bad want to stay away from heaven and gravitate to various gates and doors that lead to hell. There's actually a lot of this kind of symbology in Shazam. I wouldn't have thought I was ready for Swedenborg until I found it a few years ago but I was always reading voraciously as a teenager, mostly classic novels and literature. I never really found any philosophy til I was seventeen, reading about the russian mathematician Ouspensky. He in turn finds Gurdjieff and I kind of followed the two of them as a seventeen year old kind of taking an actual interest in philosophy and alchemy I suppose. Before that I just read all manner of literature for years on end, most any famous novel you might imagine, good chance I read it. I only remember reading one biography written for teenagers on Mozart when I was around seven and that was the first time I read a book as nobody read to me as a child and I struggled to learn reading at school in kindergarten aged five. Go figure.
Anyway with this Swedenborg. Once you're in hell you're there to get punished, there's no other way and I understand this also as I went through a good amount of hell as a teenager. Even as a sixteen year old in high school in Spain I felt very lonely and isolated. I definitely was unhappy. Before that I was at that dopey school I mentioned where I dropped out after a clique began bullying, harassing the shit out of me, probably praying I'd suicide or something, so evil nazi dudes or some kind of jew hating, I don't know. I kind of liked shazam's cape. There was a girl at that school that was pregnant at sixteen, I was only fifteen and asked her, 'are you pregnant Heather?' she was all like yeah and had a baby bump. She had this emo goth buddy that painted his face or something, I asked her: 'is he gay?' she was all like, yeah, he is. I liked Heather. We caught up at high school reunion five years ago walking around the school and her daughter was like twenty three. That was her baby bump! Maybe the emo goth guy was friends with Ann not Heather and I asked Ann about him, not Heather, really doesn't matter.
Seems you can go from heaven to hell pretty fast sometimes.
Swedenborg affirms that while you're alive in the physical world, your inner self still keeps a connection to a different community in the spirit world, which you might actually reconnect with after you die. Or perhaps when you sleep. It's difficult to imagine the physical world isn't real sometimes.
I recall taking a drug one time around 2010, age 34, designed to help people quit smoking. Originally scientists were trying to develop an anti depressant but accidentally realized their drug could suppress urges to smoke. As you can imagine, nicotine is extremely addictive, I tried using this drug in the recommended way but the doses were way too high (overkill) and I ended up dreaming one night about my college roommate in Spain when I was twenty, we had some chinese styled house with a courtyard and two tiers in the dream. In real life we were on the 11th floor with the most amazingly stunning forest view you don't normally find in Madrid, looking over the casa de campo which is a very large forest. Anyway my dream was so strong coz of those drugs, when I woke up I was all like, that's the real world! With the two tiered courtyard house. Not the world I was waking up into.
The takeaway was the doctor's recommended dosages were way too strong so in the following years I'd self medicate. I mean the australian government had jacked up the taxes on tobacco and even banned tobacco advertising. I started buying the illegally smuggled cigarettes at ten dollars the pack. Fifty cents per cigarette. I'd drive four twelve hour taxi shifts in a row to get rich. Smoking around ten cigarettes a day. On the three day weekend I'd take maybe one and a half pills to kill the desire for cigarettes. I'd be doing this every week basically not smoking on weekends. Then it was really messing with my will big time. As Spaniards, despite all men being created equal, we have stronger wills than most people barring Russians who have incredibly strong wills. The English are also fairly strong willed. I mean I don't think that's bullshit and these pills were messing with my brain but I didn't care coz it was full steam ahead with the five year plan taxi driving get rich thing after being broke most of my life.
Then as I mentioned on my blog, my buddy from quetta pakistan, the Baluchistani, that I just nickname martin luther king coz I like nicknaming everyone and this guy had a dream and all which meant coming to australia with people smugglers on a boat, when that guy suicided in mom's crib, hot on the heels of my brother doing the same, that was such a shock, I was all like, ok I'm not smoking anymore and that was that. And it's been around three and a half years now. Since the weekend of the Vegas shooter massacre, like telly savalas said bro: don't smoke. Shocking! I definitely feel like I'm reeling from one disaster to the next. That's the reel effect. Even my relationship with my wife seems like one big disaster.
Actually Yul Brynner said don't smoke bro:

Forgot about the tibetan book of the dead. I think the main gist with that is you spend alot of time in life focusing on meditation exercises based on the concept of maintaining self awareness after death and avoiding reincarnating, when already dead, in situations where you will continue a loop of foolish activity. Probably not a bad idea, really. I think the hollywood actor richard gere does a fair bit of that. That'd be something that would definitely come up in his afterlife after dying as richard gere, I guess in stage one of death, in what Swedenborg calls the world of spirits, before everyone heads off for heaven or hell.
As Swedenborg doesn't treat on reincarnation at all, just referring to resurrection as what happens to your spirit after physical death, he'd say keep the ten commandments, avoid adultery and try to live a life engaged with the world and useful to others.
