When the ferry that travels among the San Juan Islands approaches Friday Harbor, it does so with the bow. But when it departs, the bow of the ferry becomes the stern. It has two captains — one at each end.
In January of 2015, I was in the Lower Underworld for five weeks. In August of 2019, I began a journey in the “Upper Heavens” for five weeks.
To my great surprise these two opposites were the same. During the Upper World experiences, I remained conscious of the world around me, but became such a stranger to it, that I could hardly function. In a state of great mental confusion, I could see eternity, but hardly knew the difference between day and night — they merged until there was no difference. I have yet to learn the many lessons of this experience as heaven became hell (the bow became the stern). It may be a situation that Hell is when Heaven leaves…

Perhaps, Almine, the Heaven and Hell you saw and experienced really are (on some level of reality or another) the bow and stern of the same ship. Sort of like, “Where the energy is flowin’, the ship is goin’.”
I’m thinking along the lines of the kabbalistic Tree of Life and the Qlippoth. Most folk would consider them to be two separate trees; yet could they not be one tree growing in two directions? The word, “direction” seems to be coming through as the key word for me, here. Which direction is the life flowing?

I feel like we had a wound, and we healed enough to pull that wound out of the Hell state because it was never supposed to be wound, but was Heavenly. To hide from the wound, Heaven looked dazzling, but the wound reminded not just yet. Sure enough, Heaven was felt and the wound healed, and Hell drained away no longer needed. And there’s no vacuum left there, because the wound lived again, so Heaven was seen as here, not there, and the longing ceased to be.
Alexandra says
I wonder if this has anything to do with the rapid disintegration of hostile spirit?
Ben Colgan says
As Einstein once said: there is no such thing as dark, it is only the absence of light. So too your theory of hell, it’s the absence of heaven.
Dhani says
This explains a lot of what is happening around me. Will stay centered. I believe at the time Almine, you said, to focus on the immediate. One step at a time and to focus on what is in front of me, one thing at a time.
Hazel says
Dearest Almine, I just went through an experience over the weekend, and has been lying awake seeking answers as to how things shift within seconds of what should be the progress of something seem so real.
You have just bent my consciousness to another realization and is seeking to learn the lessons from the experience, so as to remain non judgemental.
Thank you with all my Heart!
wishing you the utmost Best!

I just listened to a seminar from a rabbi. He said that nothing exists in a vacuum, so when purity leaves, impurity fills the void. Makes sense
Jana Cimermanova says
You are the bringer of the changeless change
Cooperative endevours on the large scale, want to say something through the details. pouring abundant resources through opening pathways. It feels that spiritual symbolism that is part of self-guidance wants to see something. I wonder what it communicates through the physical plane about absorbency and transferring. How do we play…. letting our authentic spirit play, opening the pathways for the breath of Divine, breathing life into the form as a part of self-guidance. Even if bigger picture is not seen, in details the mysteries of Infinite can be discerned. But how can the mysteries be discerned in the form and the messages from Divine felt as clearly as absorbing nourishment? Transferring of symbols of spiritual communication depends on absorbency. If there is a resistance it does not absorb and the meaning of the message is not clear. With increasing absorbency we can utilize the symbolism through purity of our feelings and recognize the changeless change.
Denise says
Only our precious Almine could reconcile opposites of such large illusions of Heaven and Hell…………..Praise to be to the Infinite and Almine………….much gratitude
Jeanette says
Hi Almine: I too, have experienced both. Although each end of the paradigm, heaven and hell, I ventured in their presence for a very long time, years in each. One thing I noted, one leg in each side, really caused me the hardest existence. I am noting more of not left and right but rather a space above the whole paradigm thing. It seems more freeing when in that space and it is as if the track is below me and it disappears in its density. Interesting, yes.
SonjaJean says
Deep reverence for your amazing journey. Thank you for sharing with us. I love you ❤️ and hold you in my heart as you travel through various realms. 💛. Take good care beautiful one. 🙏
Jessica says
Dearest Almine, I had an experience where I felt I was dragged down so deep into a very “negative” place. It made me wonder if it was the underworld you speak of. It has profoundly changed me, I find I am at times “fearful” of returning there. And I was so surprised that my normal “shield” (nothing can harm me that the infinite does not will) did not “protect” me from this experience. You speaking of heaven and hell, i guess if polarity is not transcended then both exist?
I love and appreciate you infinitely.
Holly says
Fascinating. There are so many layers to this. Truly mind-bending and matrix-breaking revelations to be felt through your words.
cec says
That maybe explains the dreams I’ve been having……I have been trying to make sense of them….so I just surrender to my Greater Self. Everything has a reason for being there….I tell myself trying not to suppress them and try to see the value of them.
Y says
Almine what do you mean by “when heaven leaves”?
I remember you saying that the underworld is actually the home of the realms of innocence. It only becomes what it’s not because of us suppressing things into the subconscious. How does the underworld look like and feel like when it’s pristine? Heavenly?
Y says
Dearest Almine, I see what you mean now, as I’m depart like your ferry example. The question now is: leave to where?
♥️
Sabrina Keck Goeldlin says
It’s why we are reinstating heaven on earth.
Sarah Murray says
Bingo! I resonate with this partial truth right here. Everything (expressions and definitions of what is) is now redefining, reinventing and refining itself. VERY exciting!.
Louise Love Herzog says
Could you clarify this further, please?
Heaven became Hell. What, please?
Undistinguishable? Or?
Thank You.
satinka says
Yes, Almine. I have noticed that, as well..
We must stay grounded to navigate this life successfully.
Thank you so much, beloved One.
MARISA King says
Tears. I am Grateful Beyond words for you Almine🌹

Gabriele Gaven says
isn’t it that we can heaven or hell on earth? I had lots of troubles years back for my family did not talk about hell – only the prospect of heaven and earth.
Now I am glad, for I have a better understanding, that I have to accept the fact that it is me only who can create this. Hard work and mentally exhausting for me as well. Sometimes I wanted to give
up –but an urge made me go on…..I hope I did understand you, dear Almine and wish that
our Mother Earth is the glorious heaven for us all.
As always
Love always
ChrisW says
If one leaves (by whatever reason) the human interpretation of the world (which includes concepts of Heaven and Hell and many others) behind then it must not come as a surprise that what remains or appears is indistinguishable (at least for the human mind) and cannot be appropriately expressed using any human language (which are all tied to the human interpretation of the world). To reach such a place is the privilege of a Seer.
Nita Renfrow says
Does that mean Heaven and Hell are one of the same?
Nita Renfrow says
I wish I new what you meant!
Maestro says
I feel it’s your angle of perception. A positively disposed person sees heaven because of the trust in the Divine. The outside situation is the same, but the inner sees either heaven or hell in accordance to their inner angle of perception. Hell can help us reorient ourselves to grow in love and wisdom and move through current challenges. Heaven rewards us by revealing divine glory and expanding our current paradigms…so it’s all good!!!😁❤👃
Julius Ndanga Njele says
Dear Almine, thanks for this explanation. It only proves one thing,no one concept can be easy to realise. Your explanation proves that it is a complicated experience. Yet something worth experiencing.
