The universe has multiple layers of heaven and hell. This is the true multiverse. It isn't really about living a good life in this life or performing good works or having faith in Christ. Faith is important but the true goal is to develop self knowledge of your own evil, and to learn to transcend it.
In this universe it isn't good versus evil, it's evil versus evil. Every demon thinks they are good and their ideological enemies evil. To overcome this you have to truly understand the viewpoint of your enemy, you have to see through their eyes, and this is a crucial task of getting out of hell. The task of everyone is to see through the enemies eyes, and to see that one is wrong, but not just that oneself is wrong but that everyone is wrong. Since we are all demons in hell none of us can be right. We are sinners who need forgiveness because it is our nature to lack self-knowledge. The cultivation of self-knowledge is the cultivation of salvation. Jesus is not here to weaken you, or to weaken Western Civilization but to strengthen you through the cultivation of a better self.
This is more than saying "everyone is wrong." You have to actually understand why. You have to immerse yourself in the viewpoint of others and really understand how they think. You have to understand how you think and how you're lying to yourself. This means that therapy and spirituality are virtually identical practices when done correctly. It's not about blame and if you're immersing yourself in blame or self hate you're doing it wrong. It's not about hating others, because it's not about hate at all, and it's not about love either. This isn't an emotional exercise. The emotion comes later after the understanding. The emotion is the outcome of the work and not the work itself. Know thyself, and through the knowing thou art saved.
The worst demon is the one who thinks they're a victim of everything and that everyone else is to blame. The nicest demon thinks they are to blame and everyone else is innocent. The correct demon transcends blame and understands their own error, and endeavors to see through everyone else's eyes, but also understands that others are not perfect. What is really happening is that everyone lies to themselves, everyone believes their own lies, everyone thinks they have good intentions but they simultaneously do bad things. The normal state of human affairs is self-deception. This is why demons don't know their demons. It's not good versus evil but one dumbass versus another. Hell is literally stupidity.
