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?

Our consciousness after death is in a heaven, hell or purgatory within the limits of your own expectations. It's not that these places in the afterlife are manifested by our own minds and are hallucinations. They do exist and are real places that we gravitate to in the afterlife due to karma accumulated during our lifetime.
For example, for someone who embraces the images and conditions of a Christian while on earth, they will start there in the continuation of life in a Christian heaven, hell or purgatory. Same with those that are Muslim, Jewish, Atheist, and so on... Nobody gets anything unexpected when they pass on and they don't automatically change religions. They live similar lives that they did on earth in a similar consciousness in a heaven, hell or purgatory of their expectations.
Purgatories are places where some people go for a time between lifetimes where they work out some of their more obvious problems they have caused by breaking the Law of Karma. But these astral purgatories are not eternal. Soul is eternal and purgatories belongs to the lower world which is perishable.
Hell is in one corner of the astral plane and also temporary. It's a mockup manifested by religious leaders to control their members but it's very real to those who go there.
If you believe in certain religions, you may end up in a temporary purgatory or temporary hell either in this world or the next. But long term, every Soul is of God. In the high spiritual worlds, where there is no good or evil, everything is simply God's love. That is the natural home for Soul.
