i've decided that the Good Place is real.

I finally know the answer to the question that has been asked since the dawn of man or at least since Greek philosophers have been making people think about stuff. ("Plato", f**king nerd).

The question in question is: "What happens when we die?".

The answer is: It's on Netflix in the form of a series called: "The Good Place".

For those who don't know, 'The Good Place' is a hit American comedy-fantasy series created by Michael Schur, It aired between 2018 to 2020 on NBC.

(⚠️SPOILER WARING⚠️: For those who haven't watched 'The Good Place')

The show revolves around 4 humans who've died and went onto the "Good Place" or so they think, they soon find out that they're actually in the "Bad Place" and they've actually been partnered together by a demon in a perfectly designed experimental 'hell' so that they can torture and make each other miserable for eternity.

But to the surprise of everyone in the Bad Place, the 4 humans actually helped each other be better than they ever were on earth, the demon in charge of them would try to wipe their memories and restart the experiment but the 4 humans would always find each other, become better by helping each other and outsmart the demons.

It became such an inconvenience that the main demon eventually gives up and teams up with the humans to try and get them into the real Good Place but then we find out that there is something wrong with the system of how people are judged when they die.

THAT'S where my religious girlfriend (God bless her or whoever is up there) got kind of sketchy about the show because her religious worldview couldn't accept that "Heaven" was flawed.

And I can understand that because most religious people, no matter what religion, would find it hard to believe that there is something wrong with the afterlife, the very thing that they've been told their entire lives they will go to after they die.

First of, the afterlife is the most mysterious thing that humans believe in because no one knows where or what it is, even Shakespeare made a whole speech thing about it because being a white guy during the 1500's he had the privilege of thinking about death while others were too busy being either poor or slaves and I have a feeling that they didn't enjoy it.

And secondly, Being humans, we couldn't handle not understanding something, so we created different versions of the afterlife using religions, but every religion had the same rules: Follow a certain way of life and be good so that when you die, you will be granted eternal happiness.

And that was the flaw in 'The Good Place', the protagonists in the show discovered that the rules to get into heaven were too broad, life on earth became too complicated because when you try to do good, you are setting off a chain of events that causes misery for others without even knowing it and that makes it impossible to earn enough "afterlife good points".

And so what do our protagonists do? They fix the afterlife, they make it so that no matter how you live your life on earth, when you die, you will get into a specifically designed hell that will test you until you become the best version of you and, only then, will you get into the 'Good Place'.

And it doesn't stop there, after you've had your eternity of fun, pleasurable bliss and you finally feel at peace, you actually have the choice to leave paradise and become one with the universe.

That to me is the definition of a perfect afterlife and is the reason why I've decided that the Good Place's version of the afterlife is what will actually happen when I die.

Now you might be thinking: "Wow, that is denial on a whole new level, I can't believe this guy is not just handsome but is he is also so scared of not knowing what happens when we die that he chooses to believe that the made up heaven of some tv show is the real heaven AND he's also handsome".

Well, I say to you, thank you, I am handsome but also, just like what my college professor told the dean why he has liking all the bikini pictures of my female classmate on Instagram: "Let me explain".

You have to remember one thing: All versions of heaven are made up.

That's the point I've been trying to make since the start, humans couldn't handle not knowing what happens when we die so we created religions, created rules into getting to heaven.

AND to a horrible extent, some of us created cults so that people will give them money to tell them that they're getting into heaven and that is simply despicable.

I'm not pointing fingers at any religion, although, when I mentioned money-grabbing cults what was the first one you thought of? And why was it 'Scientology'?

And if you're filipino, just like me, you know which one I am thinking of.

That is my problem with religion, they instill fear and guilt to their followers to keep them subservient and they wage war to anyone who thinks otherwise, but enough about christianity.

Meanwhile, in the "rules" of the Good Place, you simply need to do one thing to get into heaven: Be Good.

Be good to yourself, be good to others and put out good into the world. No subscription or body count needed.

I'm not saying that other religions scriptures/bibles/teachings tell their followers otherwise, I truly believe that they are no bad religions, just bad people. True good people, use their religion to impart good onto others and I believe that even without they're religion they will still be good. Good people are just that.

And then comes along this little comedy show, tells me that I need only to be good to get into heaven? Umm...yes please!

But if you think: "Then that means you're just being good because you want to get into heaven!", then what do you think religious people are doing? They're told to be good to get into heaven and if they don't? Eternal damnation. I don't know about you but that will definitely motivate me to be good.

But keep in mind that I don't really believe that the heaven in 'The Good Place' is real. Of course it isn't! it's just some comedy show that a white guy made, another Shakespeare situation if I ever saw one.

But I CHOOSE to believe it, just like any other religious person chose to believe their religion, because we're all scared of not knowing what will happen when we die so we cling to a belief that makes us feel safe.

Religion can be beautiful, I love seeing people become passionate about being good, I love when they dance and sing in choirs about how you should love others and spread happiness. God knows, I want to join in with Whoopi Goldberg and the other nuns in Sister Act when they were singing their hearts out, THAT is what heaven is all about.

But religion is flawed due to human error, divinity was defined by a humans a few thousand years ago and we've been suffering from it ever since. You want to tell me that God is perfect? Homer wrote in the Odyssey that Zeus turns into a swan to have sex with women. That's not perfect, that's means Homer had a furry kink.

The Good Place, isn't perfect either, especially in season 4 when some episodes definitely felt like they were just trying to run out the clock but it's message is, to not focus on what happens when we die.

My personal view on the afterlife is to not think about it too much. We spend so much of our lives trying to mold our life and our choices to align with the views of our designated religion or belief so that we get to be rewarded in the next life, when what we need to do is focus on the here and now.

To live your life on earth, the way you want it BUT also remember not to hurt others and even to put out some good out there in the world. Sounds unfair? It is.

But no matter how evil the world is, it's up to us to make it a little bit better for others and hope, just HOPE, that others will do the same thing.

And you might be saying: "Well, that's not how the world works" and the sad thing is you're right (Wow, bummer much?).

People will be bad, they will be selfish and they will choose to feel pleasure rather than suffer so that others would be happy, some greater than others, but yes, everyone will do that.

...I genuinely don't know what to write next.

I can't tell you things will be better when you do good because all of human history is against me, we try to do good, we wage wars, people die, the one's in charge learn a lesson, impose that others should be good, everyone forgets and then the cycle repeats.

"But what about technology, no more slaves and Captain Marvel movies?"

No, there's still slavery, human trafficking, sexual harassment, global warming and bad marvel movies. There will always be evil.

But there will also be good.

The cycle repeats not because people are always bad people but because there are always good people. And what 'The Good Place' also teaches us is that YOU can always be one of the good ones, as long as you try.

So why don't you get your phone (that was made by a child in some Chinese sweatshop), subscribe to Netflix (a streaming service owned by a billionaire) and watch the Good Place (a pretty forking good show) now.

My Experiences as a Worlds Traveler Dreamwalker

Hello, my name is Ellie. I'm a psychic whose methods mainly involve a pendulum and printable ABC chart. Any information that is not readily available by physical means (internet sources, books, etc.) I obtain via divination. I've asked all guides to prove they are who they say they are, all of whom have done so in a variety of interesting ways. In this particular post, I talk about my personal experiences as a worlds traveling dream walker. However, before I dive into my experiences I do ecourage you to read this post of mine where I touch briefly onto what sources call dream walking and then what it really is (and isn't). I've admittedly made a lot of artwork inspired by places I "dreamed" about in the past. As it was said in the Supernatural episode "The Bad Place", my creating this artwork was subconsciously my creating "reportage" of the places I've seen.

I've asked my guides including Odin why it is none of these star systems are considered to be candidates for life on other planets in the search for extra terrestrial life, he responded with "Really, we The Seers use illusions to obstruct the fact there are planets around these star systems. This is my way of saying 'Hey, where do you think you're going?'" I admittedly could not stop laughing when he said this.

Faye Realm/Vanalfheim (Arcturus)

Vanalfheim (Norse cosmic realms Vanaheim and Alfheim) aka The Faye Realm is one place incarnated divine blueprinters have visited on many occasions while physically dream walking or even astrally. This particular place is located around the star Arcturus in the Bootes constellation. I've also written about this place in another post of mine here on Tumblr. The best way I can describe this place is by comparing it to the games "Spyro the Dragon" and "Spyro: Ripto's Rage". There are a lot of houses here that are built with stone and even within mountains and hills. I recall seeing many different types of "magical" beings here, including elven people (mainly deities), fairies, etc. At night time, many of the plants glow and there's a lot of what appear to be glowing sparkling lights floating around, perfectly beautiful sight really. Perhaps those who came up with "fairy lights" were inspired by subconscious memories of their time spent on Vanalfheim either astrally or even physically. All deities and other benevolent beings that are guides of mine call sleep time "illusion time" for many reasons.

Vanaheim is the Norse realm of The Vanir gods who are known for their proficiency at using magic and seeing into the future. No location for Vanaheim has been given in any Nordic texts or even a description of what it looks. However, given that the Vanir are fertility deities known for using magic, it is often thought to be a pleasant, beautiful place. Alfheim is the Norse realm of The Light Elves. According to the Norse poem "Grimnismol: The Ballad of Grimnir" (largely informative or like an encyclopedia in nature), the Nordic deity Freyr (separate from Freya who is said to be his sister in Norse mythology and paganism) is the ruler of Alfheim. According to norse-mythology.org, this has puzzled scholars due to the ambiguous connection between the Vanir especially Freyr, and the elves with no solid conclusions regarding the nature of such. No clear description of Alfheim has been given in any Norse texts. The Marvel fandom website however mentions fairies, unicorns, elves, mermaids and other creature residing there and also states "there are many more gardens than there are stars", enchanted forests, coral castles in the oceans, and many other colorful descriptions of Alfheim.

Based on the many divination readings I've gotten from Freyr, Odin, Loki, Hermes, Quetzalcoatl, Hela, and many other guides of mine regarding the Faye Realm, the reason for the lack of clarity on the whereabouts of Vanaheim along with the descriptions for how both Vanaheim and Alfheim look in terms of what Norse texts say is because they are one and the same wonderful place they call Vanalfheim. I also recall an underwater tunnel at one point with many glowing crystals under the water and colorful marine life. Bubbles were swirling around me as I was traveling in this underwater tunnel. I ended up in a cave with more crystals and the "giant glass-like computers" I mentioned earlier. I saw many vials on multiple shelves with what looked like glowing orbs of various colors. It turns out this is the lab where souls are created and are "sent" to other places via the astral planes to be placed in vessels ("copy of the higher self's conscience is placed in the frontal lobe of the brain" per Loki).

Asgard (Pleiades)

According to the Nordic song "Grimnismál. The Song of Grimnir" (again more informative in nature, not necessarily what some might consider a hip song ha ha), there are 12 realms within Asgard most of which are said to be mansions belonging to different deities (Thor, Odin, Freya, Heimdall, etc.). I've learned also throughout the years thanks to my big interest in astronomy (NOT astrology) that the Pleiades star cluster has up to 12 stars that can be seen with the naked eye under ideal conditions per Space.com (most report 6 or 7 under less than ideal conditions however). I recall when I asked Loki on June 16, 2021 when looking at a simple list of the Norse cosmic realms asking where each realm was and got yes when I asked if Asgard was in the Pleiades. I learned also about the 12 realms of Asgard around the same time and got this reading from Odin on June 21, 2021 when I asked if the 12 realms of Asgard are correct: "Ugh, none of these are correct except for Valhalla, which is not even in Asgard" (not a topic I wish to discuss here as to where and what the purpose of Valhalla's existence really is).

* Maia (the main star in the Pleiades)

This is the main star that people on various starseed websites in the past reported seeing in their dreams (lavender and purple sky, 3 moons, lots of forests, and even some including myself talked about seeing a city with buildings above the water somewhat similar to Roman architecture with buildings that had what looked like marble columns). I made a video about a trip I made to this planet over 9 years ago, where I talked about a meeting I was running to attend to. I remember running across a small bridge with a dimmed down rainbow spanning across it. I recall seeing a lot of "floating sparkly lights" here as well. I unfortunately did not spend too much time looking around this place, as I was in a rush to attend a meeting.

The room I ran to had meeting with 9 other people at an elongated oval table. I saw 4 others standing in the room against the wall. I recall seeing one man with brown skin (who I learned later on is named Truvixy who is King of Atlantis, AWESOME guide by the way!) pulling out a scroll with the planet Earth on it. I could not recall the context of this meeting at the time but I definitely knew it was BIG and it involved Earth entirely. It turns out that all of the people in this room are members of what book author Michael Newton and others have referred to as "The Council of Elders". Really the name of this council as Truvixy and others have called it is actually known to other benevolent beings including the council members themselves as the Khala. Weirdly enough, the Khala "Path to Ascension" is in the Starcraft games and refers to the religion of the Starcraft race Khalai protoss. This religion was based on the philosophy that there is a psionic connection between all of the "religion's" followers.

When I returned home from this trip, I remember having problems breathing for several days after this. I felt very winded for at least a couple days and was trying to figure out why this is. It turns out I had physically dream walked to this planet and do recall running to attend to this meeting. I was suffering from Hypoxemia, due to the thinner air on this planet. It's for this reason I ended up having to physically dream walk to Jotunheim for treatment.

* Merope

I briefly recall one night about 12 years ago encountering a blonde man wearing a black and red body suit asking me who I am. I remember my name being mentioned but also heard what's apparently part of Hela's name Aliyana Akrina (full name of Hela the astral higher self is Hela Aliyana Akrina [more on the connection between Akrina and The Winchesters' Akrida in another post]), who is one of my deity higher selves that make up my soul's essence. The man responded with "Aliyana Akrina (again only heard part of Hela's name who was speaking through me physically)? If this is who you really are, you are certainly welcome to come here". I don't recall too much about this place, only that it has a minty green and darker green sky. Per Hermes while I am writing this post (3/19/2023), this planet does not get a whole lot of sunlight similar to northern Alaska in the winter for example. The weather was generally pleasant, felt like mid 60s to lower 70s but reached about 50s or so at night time.

* Atlas

I myself have briefly visited this planet but do not have the best recall of it years ago (not the most certain of when I went there either sadly enough it was so long ago XD ). I do remember seeing small houses built above the water with wooden decks going between the buildings. The sky was a rather interesting color (remember seeing some pink and bluish purple at one point). Another dream walker who had a video up years ago whose YouTube account name is Arcturianstar described this place better than I could admittedly (I do wish she never took this video down). She described having to put some special eye drops in her eyes "due to the different atmosphere here" prior to getting off the ship she and the others she was with were on. She talked about seeing a lot of blonde hair, blue eyed people with very skinny wrists, and even a room with a lot of sleeping bodies. She talked about how all of them looked like they were in their 30s, even the children. She recalls a bird she describes as looking "like something that you'd see in the Amazon" before leaving this place.

This woman talked about her suspicions that this planet is "an off world colony" for when things go haywire on Earth. She was amazed when I brought up a line from that movie where one scientist said "Do you remember that paper on extra-solar activity I published? Yeah, sure, I remember. I found evidence of a series of super-flares from a star in the outer-Pleiades region". I never knew the name of this star system this planet's around until about a couple weeks ago from Hermes and Odin. This woman however knew it was in the Pleiades (unfortunately can't quite remember if they mentioned this on the ship or if it was before she got on this ship).

Funny enough, my son's name is Atlas which I picked (I won the name battle with my son's dad in this case who wanted to name him after himself, so typical ha ha). It turns out that my memories of being at this planet were mostly erased and the dream I had of it at one point after my son was born was me trying to recall what I saw. It turns out this woman and I were both part of this same group who went to this planet at the same time. No wonder there was a time many moons ago when my eyes were particularly blurry one morning (never had this issue show up after this one morning)...

Jotunheim (Mintaka, Orion's belt)

Many people talk about how bad "giant" Reptilians from Orion apparently are, they are the world leaders, and are bloodthirsty beings looking to take this planet from mankind. None of this is true, as the Reptilians do not care for planet Earth, nor do they rule our world leaders (they're vegan as all other immortal beings are period). I will say that however they are hostile towards incarnated demons, aka most of mankind on Earth. I'm not here to talk about "the Reptilian Agenda", as the focus of my post is about Jotunheim which is the Norse realm of the Giants. If you recall my mentioning earlier in this post learning where the Norse realms are just by reading a list of the names of the realms online almost a couple years ago. I learned that Jotunheim is around the star Mintaka, which is located in Orion's belt.

I also mentioned earlier having to go to Jotunheim for treatment. I remember mostly being in what looked like a poorly lit cave on a table surrounded by very tall people, one of whom turns out to be the leader of the giants named Jotunn (who is on the council of Elders that's really called The Khala as I mentioned earlier). I do recall seeing some so called reptilians who I later on learned are named Eponea and Feomiza who are also members of The Khala (oh no, the horror of so called reptilians on a spiritual council determining where people go, aka "The Path of Ascension", ahhh!). They said they VERY briefly put me inside of one of the cages as I remembered at one point per Jotunn today 3/19/2023 "to show to me how terrifying it is for small people to be captured by giants on Jotunheim". I do recall an area with what looked like a lab, and also recall a small stream inside of this lab that led to outside. I recall the sky being orange during daylight and towards night-time and sunset looking more green. It was admittedly cooler here, although I spent the entire time I was here in this cave within the mountains.

After I watched the Supernatural episodes "The Bad Place" and "Wayward Sister", I decided to pick up my pendulum and ABC Chart to ask "Is "The Bad Place" Jotunheim?" after seeing the giant creature in the show around Thanksgiving November 2022. Hermes responded with "Yes, they were in the chaotic forests of Jotunheim. What is shown in the first Marvel Thor movie is the cold mountainous area of Jotunheim. Giants are very hostile towards other beings who are non-giants except for members of The Khala including the male God and female God, the 2 physical beings they curiously treat better than other giants".

Jotunheim according to Norse mythology is also known as Utgard, is described as being chaotic, anarchic, and wild. It's been described as a wilderness that surrounds a more civilized area. I would not really call Jotunheim having any central civilized place in the same sense people are thinking of when it comes to Earth, since giants do not treat most outsiders kindly. According to the Poetic Eddas per the website Norse-mythology.org when describing Jotunheim, the places where the giants live are "deep, dark forests" and also "mountain peaks where winter never eases its grip". It turns out that Supernatural's "The Bad Place" is indeed taking place in one of the deep, dark forests while the Marvel movie "Thor" (2011) takes place in the mountain peaks where a fortress exists in which the said frost giants reside.

Final Notes

Mainly the sources I mentioned regarding the places I've visited come from divination and Norse texts. Interestingly enough, the debate regarding the validity of Norse texts especially in describing the realms (particularly Helheim versus Hell) involves whether it was written before Christianity came about or afterwards. Therefore, I feel it's important to touch onto Bible verses that happen to mention the Norse realms (unknowing to the Bible writers, and no I'm not religious by a long shot ha ha). I asked about all of these verses on 2/27/2023. I'm sure there are other ones if I look hard enough but I wanted to only touch onto these 3 main ones that people frequently quote regarding other star systems.

John 14:2-3 in the King James Version of the Bible states "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also". When I asked about this verse while researching for the video I made regarding my dream walking experiences (below) what the significance of this verse is, Odin answered: "The writers of the Bible heard seers speaking about the 12 main stars in the Pleiades aka Asgard". If you look into what the 12 realms of Asgard are listed as, they are mainly mansions of different deities in the Nordic pantheon.

Job 9:7-9 in the King James Version of the Bible quotes "Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; And sealeth up the stars. Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, And treadeth upon the waves of the sea. Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, And the chambers of the south".

Job 38:31-33 in the King James Version of the Bible quotes "Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, Or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? Or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? Canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? When I asked about these 2 versus from the Book of Job that according to typical interpretations in real generic terms are regarding "the greatness of God's creations" and "changing the weather", Odin stated: "We the Seers were telling the writers of the Bible where the off world [not on Earth] Norse realms are and what the weather's like on these places."

And to wrap up this up and give it to a kid on their birthday 'cause I'm just done typing ha ha, here is my video summarizing the places I visited as a worlds traveling dream walker.
