Duncan Trussell on: Being a Spiritual Omnivore, Whether Psychedelics Are a Bridge to the Divine, and How the Gates of Hell Are Locked From the Inside
10% Happier with Dan Harris
Hell is a Self-Made Prison
Experiencing hell is primarily a psychological state characterized by a profound disconnect from the surrounding world. This state emerges from intense self-absorption and a singular focus on one's own problems and suffering. The relentless search for causes of this suffering often leads to victim mentality, perpetuating the cycle of angst.

Buddhism's teachings on suffering highlight the importance of recognizing and transcending this internal mindset to alleviate emotional turmoil.
