The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won’t let go of your life; your memories, your attachments. They burn ‘em all away. But they’re not punishing you, he said. They’re freeing your soul. If you’re frightened of dying and holding on, you’ll see Devils tearing your life away. But if you’ve made your peace then the Devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth
Meister Eckhart (via kainsoph)
