Should Humanity Really Know About the Afterlife?

I asked my friend Mark Macy to start a debate about whether it’s good for us to know, on a global scale, what some ITC practitioners have known for years – that we have a soul and the soul continues after bodily death. He gets far more visitors to his blog than I do here, so here is the link https://macyafterlife.com/2017/04/20/should-humanity-really-know-about-the-real-afterlife-a-debate/

Here is my first post – please participate:

Thanks for starting this off Mark. I expect this could open a can of worms.

Obviously it isn’t a terrible idea, because the ITC is being allowed.

However, the things I have read and the observations I make about our world leads me to believe that absolute knowledge of our soul journey would make very little difference at best, and give us hell on earth at worst.

People born into difficult or terrible situations with knowledge of the continuing journey will mostly opt out. I think we would see more suicides and more mercy killings, simply to press the reset button and have another go.

In fact there may as well be no such thing as Earth as a school if we know its secret use. If everything is more splendid on the other side, why would we voluntarily go to what would be hellish in comparison? I understand that because of these differences, lessons are learned quicker on Earth. But what is the rush if we have all eternity? Where are we going? Is our final destination god? And if so, what do we do when we get there? Is it all over at that point? Are we finally dead?

I understand there is no hell, other than what we make. By this I mean that all people live in a heaven of their own. The evil gravitate to the evil, the good to the good. So even the evil live in heaven where I suppose they are free to out-evil each other, with their victims being each other, or people here on Earth. In short there are no consequences such as an eternity burning in hell. Would we see more killers come to fruition that are otherwise held back by the belief in eternal damnation?

I don’t know where we are going with ITC, but I think humanity may be better off not knowing, which is why it is perhaps only taken seriously by a comparative handful of people who use it to alleviate some pain. Perhaps we aren’t supposed to know on a mass scale.
