The age-old, absurd, crisis about "Eternal Hell", of the theologians and philosophers

 It does greatly amuse me that many people get stuck in moral outrage and angst about the idea of "eternal hell" and then trap themselves in speculative struggle with an idea relating to a metaphysical reality which they have intellectually abstracted in a manner that has nothing to do with the subject to begin with.

It is treated by Christian and some Muslim theologians as one of the ultimate "problems" of faith. This really shows the utter idiocy of what we Abrahamics let perpetuate under the skin. Letting poor understandings and a lack of direct experiential engagement in our traditions, send us down an Aristotelian dead-end.

I find the whole question Idiotic, when they never ask WHAT IS HELL?

These idiots who spend their time in crisis, both believers and theologians/philosophers are that dense in the head that they don't even come to correlate that both Paradise and Hell are, in some manner, theophanies of God itself. The idea of "the return" to God, the center of our beliefs and the very things which we come from and return to. Completely ignored.

One path results in divine ecstacy and the other results in the purification and refining of the soul the hard way. 

Both are encounters with Ultimate Reality, al-Haqq, (God/Allah) at it's highest direct intensity.

There is no room for speculative headscratching. No room for any moral discontent when the questioner is making up their own sophistry and trying to attack at an imaginary problem that is simply not there in the Abrahamic religions' conception of hereafter.

To think that so many believers, theologians and philosophers can't grasp the WHAT of the situation makes me wonder. To fall for it shows that they don't really know the details of their beliefs and spiritual problems they are trying to solve and that they are merely responding to prior intellectual tradition rather than actually engaging the Revelations themselves.

This all is also supported by how the Bible itself calls God "a consuming fire". 

The significance and potency of Islam is so strong that it spawned the entire Western Civilization which furiously tries to copy everything it achieved and make similar pronouncements but with an inverted morality

Islam and the Holy Grail

 Something really significant that people don't often consider with Muhammad, is that; given how the Arab pagans used to bury their female infants alive because they viewed daughters as curses. How significant is it that Muhammad's only progeny surviving past childhood was Lady Fatimah. And how through Fatimah (who married Imam Ali obvs) that Muhammad's successorship was advanced. 

Also, though you may know (I think I've mentioned it before) but Surah Kawthar is a promise God gave to Muhammad before the birth of Fatimah. The word Kawthar means "abundance" but it also, in Hadith, is metaphysically referred to as "the fountain in Paradise". From there it is obvious where Cup/Chalice symbolism in Qur'anic verses about Paradise factor into this.

The layers of symbols associated with Fatimah is profound. The whole "holy grail" myth in the middle ages comes out of Shi'ite tradition, relating to Fatimah and Ali, but as it was appropriated into the Parzival story (which Crowley and other occultists of his day very much loved) where Christianized to be about Jesus rather than Muhammad.

However of course the "holy grail" is also connected to Alchemy/Hermeticism as well, with the concept of Magnum Opus or "the Great Work".

One further interesting connection there is between Fatimah's Sophic aspect and the Babalon of Thelema, to which Crowley attributes the Grail symbology in texts like Liber Cheth and Liber 418.

This is all part of a grand mystery nonetheless. It is really upsetting that so many western esotericists/occultists want to exclude and bastardize Islam from this conversation when it undoubtedly contains all the missing pieces. The answers of western occultism are to be found where the biggoted minds of so many westerns don’t want to look: Islam, but not just that but Shia Islam (the seed where Sufism sprouted too).

Christianity's forgotten mystery

On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 

Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” 

And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 

If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

(John 20:20-23)
