Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here:
(Is it possible that this judgment need not be?)
Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here is but one of many warnings an individual encounters as he continues the process of descending from his pure-state into The Earth Experience's Middle-Earth's Astral Plane Of Common Reality. The main reason that the lower levels of Middle-Earth operate under "Abandon All Hope" is because of the Alliance of the Rule--a special subset of laws which give Karma its power over the individual members of the TwinSpecies: Human.
The process of descending into the lower levels of Middle-Earth demands that certain conditions be met--among them being that individual's limitations and Veils of Forgetfulness are Karmically imposed on all. They are the first step in making the lower levels of Middle-Earth a seemingly inescapable trap, especially for those without a teacher.
Once the process of the descent into lower levels of Middle-Earth is near complete, the karmic laws of cause & effect remains an insurmountable stumbling block, not only for the TwinSpecies as a whole, but for its members as individuals. The specific law which rules states: The Force which is evoked to place a phenomena in an Illusion is that same Force which seeks to maintain the phenomena within the boundaries of that Illusion, unto forever.
Any deed committed upon the lower levels of Middle-Earth condemns one to equalize the Karma incurred on the same level upon which the deed was perpetrated. This leads to the necessity of incarnating again and again, until the above law is satisfied--until the individual's karmic debts are equalized. Worse yet, because of the Veils of Forgetfulness in each new reincarnation, the residents of the Maya must again relearn basic patterns which they might have known in a past life. This is because of the difference between "knowledge" and "wisdom."
When an individual is born onto lower Middle-Earth, all he brings with him is wisdom; and, when the individual goes through the death process, the only thing that he can bring with him when he leaves is the wisdom that he's gained. As an example, in each new incarnation, the patterns of language must be learned--in some cases, the specific language, such as French, must also be relearned.
When an individual enters into the Earth Experience's middle levels, he enters with only a part of his wisdom; the rest is cut off by the veils of forgetfulness (Veils of forgetfulness are laws which allow an individual to have Reality as he sees it). When an individual leaves The Earth Experience's lower Middle-Earth, what little knowledge he has been able to transform into wisdom as he lived his life, and the wisdom that he was born with is all that he can bring with him--the rest, that which remained as knowledge, is left behind to decompose with the body.
If we remember the prime law of creation: That which exists within the Chi shall be dual in its nature but Triune in its effects, we know that the mechanism of memory is also dual in its nature. There is that part of memory we call "wisdom," which is eternal in that it survives the death process; and, there is that part of memory called "knowledge" which does not survive the death process. Obviously, by the laws of the Alliance of the Rule, the contents of that part of memory which survives the death process is retained by the exiting Ba, while the contents of that part of memory which is left behind is destroyed, as is that level's physical--the Ka.
It is interesting to note that because the trap of The Grand Maya is so complex and so unyielding, an individual has no chance of escaping without the aid of an OtherWorld Teacher, an extremely evolved being that serves as an internal Mirror, a mirror that always reflects our thoughts back onto our value systems. As the special teachings of the OtherWorld Teachers say, As there is a road mortals must walk alone, so, too, there is a road that mortals may not walk alone. The path which leads out of the trap of Maya, out of the lower levels of Middle-Earth is one of those paths which mortals may not walk alone.
Special OtherWorld type teachers can help the average individual because the Teacher's mind is not trapped within the illusion of The Grand Maya. Only through the understanding of the law of one's own illusions [via the laws of Karma] and the other Universal Laws can one hope to free oneself from the trap of Earth. Without teachers, one will fall into trap after trap unto forever.
