Reformed Samaritanism General Overview

What are Heaven and Hell? 
How does Reformed Samaritanism explain the Hebrew Scripture's concept of Heaven and hell? The 
following parable might help us understand it: A man dies and is shown two different rooms. In the first 
room, he sees tables with sumptuous food, but all the people looked emaciated, and were moaning and 
crying. 
He saw that the people all had long spoons in their hands, but had no elbows, and thus were unable to feed 
themselves any of this food. The man was told that this was hell. 
The man was then brought to the other room. In there, he saw the same tables filled with sumptuous food. 
Here again the people had no elbows and had long spoons in their hands. These people seemed very happy, 
laughing and talking with each other. 
The man then saw someone using his spoon to take some of the food, and then reaching across the table in 
order to feed the person seated at the opposite side of it. The recipient enjoyed the food, thanking the other 
person and returning the favor by offering a spoonful of food to that person. All of the people continued to be
happy and well sated. The man was then told that this was heaven. 
The message behind this simple parable is the following: Our actions will end up creating our own heaven or 
hell. It is true that we all have to face the same realities, but if we face them in a proud, godless and selfish 
fashion, we will turn them into a living hell; whereas if we are just, merciful, and humble (working to bless 
and care for each other), we can turn the same realities into a personal heaven. 
Reformed Samaritanism teaches that Hell is absence of God; the state of consciousness naturally arising
from the proud soul who willingly chooses to set his own course of life-- one with no regard for God's will,
nor for the Divinely appointed order of Creation (the law of sowing and reaping). In fact, the only reason
hell exists, is to preserve the freedom of choice which God grants to human souls
