One Way To Explain How souls go to Hell or Purgatory or Heaven Author unknown

   

Darkness is sin and light is God. Now if a person lives in a room or cave of compete darkness and has been there for a long time, when that person comes into the light, he or she cannot stand the light so the person goes back in to the dark room.

This is like a soul that has lived in sin, when the soul dies, it cannot stand to look at God, Who is pure Light,  so the soul drives itself into hell.

A soul who lives in sin lives in darkness, but if the soul, while still living would let some light in, then when the soul died,  he or she would be able to squint their eyes and look at the light and eventually be able to open their eyes all the way. This would be a soul that, when it died was not pure enough to go to heaven, so it went to purgatory. All souls are different some have to squint harder than others and some can adjust faster to the light and some live always in the light, their eyes are wide open, these go straight to heaven.

   “When released from the body each soul is destined for immortal life, and its future in eternity is determined by its state when death takes place and the soul is released from the body. When the body dies and the soul is released, it suddenly finds itself in the full light of awareness, able to see itself as it stands in the sight of God. It then realizes the darkness to which the body’s actions condemned it. The sensitivity of the soul to the enormity of the Light of God is like the naked eye before the brilliance of a thousand suns, and the soul in darkness quivers in pain. It plunges itself into the sea of Hell to avoid the pain of the enormity of the Light.”

Purgatory

“The soul destined for Purgatory seeks shade at the level in Purgatory appropriate to its own imperfection. It will automatically plunge itself into which it failed to atone sufficiently; it will gladly go to whatever level of Purgatory is necessary, and it will be eternally grateful to God, in the knowledge that it will one day gain His Presence in Heaven.

 

 

         The Victorious Queen of the World”, a spiritual diary of a mystic, Sr. Natalia of Hungary, page 45:

 

             “Once I cried on Jesus shoulder: “Why did you create hell?” To answer me, Jesus brought me to the judgment of a very sinful soul, whose sins He forgave.

Satan was outraged!  “You are not just! This soul was mine all his life!” He shouted to Jesus: “This one committed so many sins, while I committed only one, and you still created hell for me.”

 

          Jesus then with unbound love told Satan: “Lucifer! Did you ever ask me for forgiveness?” Then Lucifer, seemingly beside himself, shouted: “That... never!  That I will never do!”

          Then Jesus turned to me, “You see, if he could ask Me for forgiveness only once, hell would cease to exist.”
