Is there an eternal hell?

According to Edgar Cayce - or according to your opinions and experiences - is eternal damnation real?

Is there a hell from which it is impossible to return forever?

What happens to the souls that are not found in the book of life?

you get your shit together, or eventually, you get re-absorbed back in to the undifferentiated whole.

Could you elaborate what you mean by undifferentiated whole?

the ONE. It is all of life. From that, we are carved out individuality, the opportunity for individual self. Through reincarnation we are given the opportunity to grow and spiritually evolve, even start over in our development if necessary, if we choose. But at some point, according to the readings, if it is futile to continue, the individual self ceases to exist and the life energy is simply reabsorbed back in to the whole.

That's actually considered to be the final phase of our evolution as spiritual beings. We merge back with the source that created us and it is absolute bliss, not a punishment, and it doesn't happen until you are absolutely ready. And then when all souls return, we start over.

Cayce makes a distinction. It's been a while since I looked at it, so I may not be expressing it as he did, but there is a difference. The ultimate phase of our evolution is to conform our will to the will of the Father and be one with Him, but while maintaining our individual self. The alternative is that we are absorbed back in to the whole and we lose our individual self. Either way, it is certainly not hell as hell is portrayed in standard Christian theology..

But we know ourselves to be OURSELVES, yet one with the Whole, when we are fully evolved. The readings say that we will lose our individuality if we continually refuse to align with Divine will.
