An Overview
If a container has a superior
part, it must by definition have an inferior part. So true, as there are the
heavens there are also the lower regions. Despite this, the topic of hell is
another hotly debated topic, some believe it not to exist while others do.
Others say it is a state of mind, while others say it is real and it is a place
of punishment.
In Gnosis we always prefer ‘to
know’ rather than to believe. So the Gnostic study of the inferno describes
hell from the perspective of direct knowledge. The various points of study cover
many aspects related to the topic, however the essential point of all the study
points is that Hell or the inferno has a reason to exist, and therefore it has
a valid function in the cosmos and by studying it, we can know what takes the
soul there so that we can avoid that demise. Such knowledge is very valuable.
