I watched the pilot and first episode of Hazbin Hotel for the second time and just wanted to put down my thoughts. I have seen the entire show already, nice to catch a few things I missed the first time around. Thinking on this show also made me come to other conclusions as I continued writing.

Law of Polarity
My biggest takeaways from watching these two episodes were how it stirred my thoughts on the Kybalion Law of Polarity. The Kybalion law of polarity says that opposites are alike and only differ in degree. Angel Dust is a very low vibration at the beginning of this show as we see in the first episode. He is very selfish and really only cares about fulfilling his own pleasure. He wasn't trying to get help from Charlie, he just wanted a free place to sleep. He wasn't actually ready for help at that point. He is going to shift down closer to the polarity of being more selfless later, but many of us in our world have experienced people like this who don't really want our help.
The hell denizens in general are too chaotic. Not a lick of good in them (ha, Charlie wants to save these rude motherfuckers?). However, the introduction of Adam and his lieutenant in the 1st episode showed that the angels ain't much better. Adam is an obnoxious asshole, and Lute is clearly a ride or die psychopath. Normally one would ask, well, aren't angels supposed to be the good guys? After reading the Kybalion and its talk on the law of polarity, an answer formed in my mind. Heaven and Hell are the same but only different in matter of degree. Both societies have oppressive hierarchies. Maybe hell and heaven are more of a matter of vibration or frequency rather than morals per se. The show introduction says Lucifer was kicked out for ideas that would disrupt their society. The Netflix show The Good Place showed that heaven was also just another place with more rules.
Alastor says a line about "non-existent humanity". What does this mean? A joke that's not a joke, but dialogue pregnant with meaning. If humanity doesn't exist, then humans are the same as demons and angels, the degree of their frequency is only thing that is different. If you die as a human, you go where your vibration corresponds to, heaven or hell.
In Helluva Boss, in the episode where they go to the human world to look for Stolas' daughter, Blitzo remarks that Los Angeles looks just like Hell. Just some food for thought. What if we are already in hell and religions are bamboozling you and telling you it's some other place? The Kybalion says mind is all. What if you can make your Heaven or Hell right here on Earth with your mind and mental alchemy?
In this show if you die as a Hellspawn having done no work on yourself, you just respawn in that same low vibration. Most people are in Hell because they have no desire to change their way of living. Charlie has a good heart, more than most hell denizens. but everyone telling her stop trying to rehab the masses is right. I see a correlation with our physical world- the hylic masses are not going to give up their material comforts for spiritual boons they cannot even perceive as tangible. That's why they often revert and turn on those who help them. "Rehabbing sinners is pointless" reminds me of this Bobby short where he says the masses are the enemy. So everyone seeming unsympathetic to Charlie's plight to save people is actually right. People have to want to help themselves. And you should never help someone who wasn't meant to be woken up, they just revert to sleep later (or turn on you). Angel Dust asks at what point why don't they just get almighty Alastor to force people to come to the hotel. Charlie rightly responds that they must want to come to rehab, it's pointless if not of their own free will.
The World is a Stage.
Alastor says human life was the only chance you get. Rehabbing sinners in Hell is pointless. But he will help Charlie for his own amusement. For entertainment. Just to see what happens. Sounds fucked up to our human sensibilities, but not if you have some knowledge of the Kabbalah tree. The Malkuth earth at the bottom is just the result of a series of disseminations from the Absolute All at the top. Some say the physical world exists because the All asked itself one question. Who am I. Is your life just a series of experiences the All is interested in to answer his question? The Kybalion says our physical world is actually just a world mentally created by the All. Everyone has a role here. Are we all part of collecting experiences for the All to learn from?
Alastor says the world is a stage and making more entertainment is the best thing to do. This kind of gives the world a Truman Show like angle, something the highly recommended Netflix show, The 8 Show, went into. Squid Games, Hunger Games, there have been countless media on this topic.
Does entertainment have a high spiritual function? Are those who make entertainment on earth rewarded? In Hunger Games, they said the game must go on. Is the game the only thing life is worth living for? This would apply to all levels, not just on shitty hellish earth. Just like we watch TV for entertainment, do astral planes above us watch us for entertainment? That Black Mirror episode Joan is Awful was disturbing for this reason. Rather than something like aliens, or "illuminati" members, maybe the show we are putting on is for other humans, or our higher selves. Movies that end with a curtain drawn, as if all the trauma and violence just acted out were just a script for entertainment, are always disturbing to human sensibilities.
This is why Brother Panic and Bobby Hemmitt always spoke of ways to overcome trauma. Panic talked of ways of rewriting your subconscious programming in particular. The two teachers always said your life is a series of things that never happened. They aren't real because your physical body isn't real. You are acting out your life like a movie. A hard to swallow pill, because the shit we get put through down here definitely feels real as hell!
Videogames and Reincarnation
Alastor says he wants to see people struggle only to fall down in failure. That myth of Prometheus and his boulder which was actually about reincarnation (the boulder is the physical body). Sounds about right. You know, treating our lives on earth as entertainment is cruel to our human sensibilities, but at the same time, that's why earth is "where it's at". I say this, because, heaven and hell are already at two ends of the extremes. That's why they are lesser. No balance. Just all good or all bad. In the real quantum world, everything is one. Not divided into poles. The tug of war, oscillating between extremes to desperately try to stay in the middle, is the real experience and reason we incarnate. It's like video game design, which is a science in itself.
⏺1. A video game that is too easy and offers no challenge at all. Least fun.
⏺2. A game that is still relatively easy, but has a bit of challenge here and there at appropriate points, or where you can be tripped up at any time you get too comfortable. Less fun
⏺3. A game with a great balance with real challenge, while not being a slog to go through at the same time. Fun.
⏺4. A game that has a bit too much challenge, not enough to make you quit, but enough to not have replay value because some parts were way too irritating just for the sake of being hard. Less fun.
⏺5. A game that's so hard you can't even get past the first or second level even after hours of playing, one that forces you to be perfect and use muscle memory for every bump and turn, rather than naturally allowing you to express your own personal way of beating the game. Hard for the sake of being hard. Least fun.
That one right in the middle, the one most balanced, that's what you want. Maybe you will do veteran mode or hardcore mode after you beat the game and learned all its tricks. But you don't want your first gaming experience to be too hard and just make you quit.
I bring up this analogy for the topic of reincarnation. Maybe reincarnation started out as something more controlled like using a VR headset we could take off at any time. Maybe this is the beginning of how things turned into a trap. Modern society tries to teach us that the further back you go in history, the more primitive people were. My studies have led me to believe the exact opposite. Atlantis, Lemuria, Tartaria, Moorish Empire, all of these names (for pretty much the same thing) indicate we were advanced more than our wildest dreams before. No modern society still cannot replicate anything as great as the thousands of pyramids around the world, for example.
So, did advanced peoples of the past wanted a harder and harder version of the game level because they already aced everything and built heaven on earth already? However, maybe they made a game that was way too hard and got stuck (trapped in physical body). Teachers like Dr. Phil Valentine have also said that the physical world became denser over time and we slowly lost the purely spiritual world that is now secondary.
In any case, Video games are addictive for this reason. They emulate the circle of life very well. You bite off more than you can chew because you wanted a challenge, and now you are stuck. It's like playing a game where you get to a point of no return. If the final boss is too hard, and you have no previous save, you pretty much have to resign yourself to grinding up your levels in that last part of the dungeon for a long time, find new ingenious ways to defeat the boss that may be tedious, or just give up.
Life is analogous to this "stuck at the final level". I think of people who are on drugs, those repeatedly subject to SA, permanently traumatized because they seen their entire family/fellow soldiers die, well, these are examples of a game that's just way too fucking hard. That's no fun. There's nothing to look back on with fondness. However, according to the Law of Polarity, #5 on my scale above is the same as #1, just to a different degree. People with life too easy or mundane are fucking bored. Maybe they do things like SM because they secretly believe they don't deserve everything while other people struggling. Or they are endless party mongers. Either extreme wastes your time and leads to no evolution. Often, the people on #1 swing to the other extreme, #5, and wreck their lives in a self fulfilling prophecy just to finally get a challenge. Sounds like the Fight Club movie.
You need balance. You need a life with ups and downs, even if going through downs fucking sucks. Rather than need, that's just how life is in a world like Earth that is a polarized reality. Understanding the Kybalion Law of Polarity might take away some of the mental anguish. If you can think opposite thoughts in the worse times, the good times will come soon again and neutralize the back swing, as Brother Panic used to teach.
Heaven and Hell Bleeding into Each Other. The Real Luciferian Principle
Alastor goes by the Christian idea that says you only get one chance of life. But at the same time, that's not really right, because you still have a chance to change, even in "Heaven" or "Hell". In this way, Heaven and Hell are just another society (for us on Earth, a mind-state vibration) that you can get stuck and stagnant in. In Hazbin , Hell is the lowest you can go. Everyone is shit there because there is really no need to change. In our world, humans that know there is no further punishment, whether a power absorbed "elite" or a psychopath with no empathy, don't think differently from the Hellspawn in Hell that live purely according to their desires.
It wouldn't be fun to always be in a state of hell, though. You need some peace sometimes, too. This is exactly what will tip the balance in favor of the Hell denizens as the series goes on, as characters like Angel Dust start to resolve their traumas and reclaim their inner peace. Brother Panic used to say all the time that since life doesn't stop at physical body death, you can still study and do work on yourself even after death of the body. This is exactly what is happening for the hotel residents of Hazbin Hotel. Hell, it might be easier to do, depending on what the trauma and attachments are. That's what the movie What Dreams May Come showed.
From the Hazbin intro, it almost seems like Lucifer fell because he wanted to change and not be stagnant anymore and that alone disturbed the order in Heaven. Like I said, Heaven is just another society with rules. If you do anything to go against that, you are cast out. I think that's really what "Lucifer", "Lilith" and all that is about. Not real historical people. They are principles the truth seeker actually encounters as he starts to realize society doesn't like you being different. It's something speaking about modern society and not something that happened thousands of years ago, etc. The occult teachers Bobby Hemmitt and Brother Panic always said the ancients wrote these esoteric texts for today's society because they knew how hard we would fall.
Analyzing the Devil and Lucifer is another thing I learned from Bobby and Panic. Instead of just irrationally hating these terms because the church we grew up in says so, actually study what these principles are -because they are esoteric principles, not "people" or "entities" that lived before. You wanting to make changes in a stagnant life can come under the "Luciferian frequency". We let the "elite secret clubs/Jesuits" hijack our term to mean something "Satanic" and abusive. Making a deal with the devil or calling on Lucifer is actually supposed to be about activating mind alchemical powers already existing in your DNA and coming under the frequency of change/stepping outside complacency.
Quick Thought About Resurgence of Old Technologies
Know how in mythology or demonology, certain demons or deities rule over certain areas? In Hazbin Hotel, TV is an entity. A demon rules over TV (Vox). Radio is another entity (Alastor). Entities vying for power and relevance. Makes you wonder if the resurgence of things we see in our reality is actually various energies vying for power like shown here. So, is there a cassette demon? A vinyl demon? Because these things are making a comeback now. Even laserdisc, 8-tracks, etc. are coming back in niches. These technologies are always in the Akashic record. Humans can pull from that anytime, those adept enough to do so. This thought also makes me think the frequency of the technologies themselves are what's coming alive. Demons and deities are really frequencies inside of your DNA. Bobby Hemmitt always used to say black carbonated (melinated) media (VHS, 8 Track, black cassettes, vinyl disc) actually heal your DNA. Maybe the frequencies arise again when there is a subconscious need for them in the populace.
Who is Vivienne Medrano, Really?
Lastly, apparently producer Vivienne Medrano is an independent creator. I don't believe that for a second. I have seen both the entirety of this show and Helluva Boss. I conclude that the work is far too professional and esoterically coded for an independent team, not to mention the acquiring of these famous voice actors. This cartoon is as good as anything on any of the big networks because it's made by the same people. No one gets a big break in the industry that ain't already part of the secret club. Independent creators like this are just plants by the industry. They need to come up outside of the major studios, which are under fire right now anyway. A distraction to make you think the people are getting the power back into your hands when they are just concentrating all the power in a few chosen individuals again.
I believe this for anything that is globally popular. J. K. Rowling did not write Harry Potter by herself, Kentaro Miura did not write Berserk manga all by himself. These media were likely in pre-production for many years before being released. Enjoy the media, just don't delude yourself into thinking those who make these things are lucky random unknowns.
