The Transformative Purification: Beyond Eternal Torment

Imagine a world where hell ceases to be a place of eternal torment and transforms into a temporary stage on the path to perfection. Here, trials and cycles of renewal are not punishments for sins, but an essential process of self-cleansing that allows beings to overcome accumulated imperfections. This dynamic journey begins with the realization that past mistakes turn into valuable experiences that temper the soul in an endless flow of births and renewals.

In this concept, the transitional period resembles a purifying fire in which negativity and imperfect traits gradually give way to wholeness and light. Each new rebirth becomes an opportunity to correct previous shortcomings, fostering personal growth and liberation from the accumulated "shadow." Here, trials are not a punishment, but a necessary event through which the process of rebirth and the realization of true potential occur.

Ultimately, this view on life and death offers hope for transformation and liberation, opening the path to a state where there is no room for eternal suffering. It is precisely through constant self-improvement and purification that each soul has a chance to reach an ideal state of being, where the fire of trials transforms into the light of inner enlightenment.

How can one logically explain the concept of a world without hell, replaced by a process of cleansing from a developing demon, in the context of multiple lives?

In the logical explanation of the idea of a world without eternal hell—where “hell” is replaced by a process of cleansing—the following scheme can be observed: instead of perceiving hell as an endless, inevitable punishment, the state that we traditionally associate with hell is understood as a transitional stage on the path to a being’s perfection. In other words, the so-called “hellish experience” is not eternal condemnation, but a necessary trial for beings in a state of incomplete existence, who, through repeated cycles of “dying” and “resurrecting” (in the context of multiple lives), undergo a cleansing process.

As emphasized in one of the sources, “the meaning of hellish existence is that it should cease to exist. For the imperfect, those insufficiently desirous of existence... the creature of its semi-being is the only possible path that leads to its perfection without impairing its freedom...” (source: 1275_6374.txt). Here, hell does not appear as a final, eternal place of torment, but rather as a necessary stage during which an essence, unworthy of complete existence, gradually passes through a state of “life through death” and “semi-resurrection.” This process can be understood as a cleansing from what can conditionally be termed the “developing demon”—an accumulation of negative or imperfect traits requiring transformation.

Thus, from a reincarnational perspective, each life and each rebirth provides an opportunity to correct the errors of previous existence. There is no eternal condemnation—only the successive overcoming and elimination of accumulated imperfections, ultimately allowing one to reach a state of wholeness in which “hell” is no longer present. It is exactly through this dynamic process of cleansing and self-improvement that the demon (symbolizing burgeoning darkness or accumulated negative tendencies) is gradually neutralized, giving way to light and unity.

“The meaning of hellish existence is that it should cease to exist. For the imperfect, insufficiently desirous of existence—that is, essentially not desirous of existence—the creature of its semi-being is the only possible path that leads to its perfection without impairing its freedom, that makes it perfect and its self-perfection. This age ‘passes,’ i.e. exists as neither being nor non-being, neither dying–resurrection, but as ‘living death,’ as semi-being–semi-non-being, half-dying–half-resurrection, so that it does not ‘pass,’ but to be, not to be, die and resurrect.” (source: 1275_6374.txt)
