to me hell is a place to contain, not so much to torture, not where demons live. It does not contain sin, but contains threats.
That raises a lot more questions. Like if its just a place to contain "threats" then are they ever released? Is it like spirtual version of jail then? Who does the sentencing? Are they affect by biases? Are they impartial? Is it decided by your peers? A lot of questions

But if both places do exist are people up there affected by guilt for getting not "contained"? I wouldn't want to go to either and given the choice I would reincarnate.

Horus = The Overworld Hero
Christ = The Underworld Hero

They represent a sort of Yin-Yang dynamic in the cosmos, as articulated by The Book of the Law and decoded by the English Qaballa. Both have their place.
They kind of sound like soul mates but not in the traditional romantic sense of the word. More in the literal sense of being both parts of the soul. Or I guess mates of the soul.
This is from The Magickal Language of the Book of the Law by Cath Thompson, which I highly recommend for an Thelemic reading of Chris, especially within the context 'defeating' Hell through Love.

Jesus is mentioned in Liber AL is in Ch. III v.51,
“I peck at the eyes of Jesus as he hangs upon the cross.”
This kind of seems like symbolism for love is blind? With a bird asscoiated god pecking at the what some see as a symbol of compassion.

Also similar to the prometheus legend which prometheus would get hassled by an eagle/bird daily. But this time the bird is falcon.
Hmmm ... do they ? To me they kind of sound like deep philosophical musings from one of humanity's classic books on the subject ... also taken from two perspectives (as there are two versions of the story ; Marlow and Goethe .
In that view I could see them as the main characters for play Waiting for Godot. Or Rosencratz and Guildenstern from Rosencratz and Guildenstern are dead.
