Eckhart saw Hell too. You know what he said: The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you, he said. They're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and... 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.

Jacob: "Get me out of here."
Evil Doctor: 'Where do you want to go?"
Jacob: "Home."
Evil Doctor: "Home? This is your home. You're dead."
Jacob: "Dead? No. I just hurt my back, I'm not dead."
Evil Doctor: "What are you, then?"
Jacob: "I'm alive."
Evil Doctor: "Then what are you doing here?"
Jacob: "[crying] I don't know."
Jacob: "This isn't happening."
Evil Doctor: "What IS happening?"
Jacob: "Get me out of here."
Evil Doctor: "There is no 'out of here'. You've been killed, don't you remember?"
