Jacob's Ladder

October 16, 2007 Leave a comment

Eckhart saw hell too. You know what he said? He said 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 them all away. But they’re not punishing you, he said. They’re freeing your soul. So the way he sees it.. if you’re frightened of dying and you’re 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. It’s just a matter of how you look at it, that’s all. - Louis, Jacob’s Ladder (1990)
