After a moment of dizziness and a sense of rapid movement, I looked around and saw Wil beside me. He glanced my way, then gazed out at the dark gray environment, a concerned expression on his face. We had traveled to a new location.

“Were you able to see my vision of history?” I asked.

He looked at me again and nodded. “What we just saw was a new spiritual interpretation of history, somewhat specific to your cultural view, but amazingly revealing. I’ve never seen anything like that before. This has to be part of the Tenth—a clear view of the human quest as seen in the Afterlife. We’re understanding that everyone is born with a positive intention, trying to bring more of the knowledge contained in the Afterlife into the physical. All of us! History has been a long process of awakening. When we are born into the physical, of course, we run into this problem of going unconscious and having to be socialized and trained in the cultural reality of the day. After that, all we can remember are these gut feelings, these intuitions, to do certain things. But we constantly have to fight the Fear. Often the Fear is so great we fail to follow through with what we intended, or we distort it somehow. But everyone, and I mean everyone, comes in with the best of intentions.”

“So you think a serial killer, for instance, really came here to do something good?”

“Yes, originally. All killing is a rage and lashing out that is a way of overcoming an inner sense of Fear and helplessness.”

“I don’t know,” I said. “Aren’t some people just inherently bad?”

“No, they just go crazy in the Fear and make horrible mistakes. And, ultimately, they must bear the full responsibility of these mistakes. But what has to be understood is that horrible acts are caused, in part, by our very tendency to assume that some people are naturally evil. That’s the mistaken view that fuels the polarization. Both sides can’t believe humans can act the way they do without being intrinsically no good, and so they increasingly dehumanize and alienate each other, which increases the Fear and brings out the worst in everyone.” He seemed distracted again, looking away.

“Each side thinks the other is involved in a conspiracy of the greatest sort,” he added, “the embodiment of all that’s negative.”

I noticed he was looking out toward the distance again, and when I followed his eyes, and also focused on the environment, I began to pick up an ominous sense of darkness and foreboding.

“I think,” he continued, “that we can’t bring in the World Vision, or resolve the polarization, until we understand the real nature of evil and the actual reality of Hell.”

“Why do you say that?” I asked.

He glanced at me one more time, then gazed out again into the dull gray. “Because Hell is exactly where we are.”
