Baily was an apostate Christian who negated the living supernatural triune God, heaven, hell and substitutionary atonement. She viewed other people as dehumanized 'vehicles,' taught that Christ's Kingdom is of this world, asserted her own divinity, embraced anti-creation evolutionary conceptions, eugenics, abortion, revolutionary violence, communism and socialism.
As she approached the Hierarchy (or lowest part of Hell) she said,
"...darkness is pure spirit" and each "contact with the Initiator leads the initiate closer to the centre of pure darkness – a darkness which is the very antithesis of darkness...It is a centre or point of such intense brilliance that everything fades out and at the place of tension, and at that darkest point (we) see a point of cold clear fire." (False Dawn: The United Religious Initiative, Globalism, and the Quest for a One-World Religion, Lee Penn, p. 283)
It also seems to be common sense in a way. The crimes made possible by coldness tend to be worse than the ones committed in passion. To not care is more dangerous than to care too much.
But it is kind of harrowing to think about. She’s not counting on the “heat” of heaven reaching into her cold hell, however. That’s going to mess up her nice cold hell something fierce.
And to tie it back to the bible... God makes His messengers “flames of fire.” She has described the lowness of fallen angels, of demons with that “cold clear fire.”
When I am actually in a fervent worship situation (to me, it’s being part of a praise band that is really going to town) it’s like being in a sun room. The warmth fills and it carries along with me too even when I leave.
I kind of like giving the sun treatment to the “dry ice” of skeptics. Fog city! But maybe they will make the right choice (I mean choose to accept God’s salvation) some day.
