The Self-Created Hell. (3 min 3 sec)

What is Hell?

Hell is a concept. It's often depicted as a realm of eternal fire, but this is more than a physical place. It’s a state of mind — separation, suffering, and torment, not from some external force, but from the illusion that we are cut off from truth, love, and wholeness. Whether people see Hell as literal fire or inner agony, it’s rooted in the same concept: disconnection from our Source, from God, and from peace.

What is a Concept?

A concept is a mental construct — a framework through which we understand reality. Concepts are powerful but limited. For example, love as a concept is vast and abstract, but when you get specific, like the love between a parent and a child, the richness of the experience becomes more tangible.

The difference between general and specific is like the difference between knowing the concept of freedom and feeling the freedom of standing on a mountain peak, wind on your face, nothing holding you down. The general idea is informative, but the specific is transformational.

Living in Hell (In Your Mind):

Waking Up in Dread Every Day

You open your eyes and feel the weight of the world crush your chest before you even move. The constant anxiety of everything going wrong, the future looming like a dark cloud. You’re stuck in a loop of hopelessness, even though the sun is shining outside. It feels like the walls of your mind are closing in.

Obsession with the Past

You can’t escape that one mistake, that one regret. It replays in your head over and over, like a movie stuck on a terrible scene. You can’t change it, but it grips your soul and chains you down. No matter what you do today, yesterday keeps pulling you back. You’re trapped in a mental cage, locked by your own thoughts.

Constant Comparison

Everywhere you look, people seem happier, more successful, more fulfilled. Social media becomes a constant reminder that you’re “not enough.” You feel like a failure, even though you’re surrounded by everything you could need. The envy eats you alive, making your accomplishments feel hollow. It’s the Hell of never measuring up, no matter how hard you try.

Addiction to Distraction

You can’t sit still without grabbing your phone, turning on the TV, or filling the silence with noise. It’s like you’re running from something —your own thoughts, your own life. But no matter how much you distract yourself, the gnawing emptiness inside grows louder. It’s a Hell where you’re always busy but never fulfilled, drowning in the noise of your own making.

Fear of Death

Every pain, every illness, every close call sends you spiraling into the fear of death. You’re alive, but death stalks you in every corner of your mind. It’s a Hell where you can’t enjoy life because you’re too busy fearing its end. Every moment feels fragile, and instead of embracing life, you’re suffocating under the weight of its inevitable conclusion.

Bridging the Two (Literal vs. Mental Hell):

Both views of Hell — whether the literal fire and brimstone or the internal separation from God — are simply reflections of the same concept. Hell is a state of mind, where suffering reigns supreme because we believe we are separate from the truth of who we are. Whether imagined as flames or experienced as mental anguish, the suffering feels just as real.

Hell is a concept we hold onto, a belief in separation, not a reality. Just as a concept isn’t the thing itself, Hell isn’t a permanent state — it’s a temporary illusion that we can escape the moment we recognize it’s happening in the mind, not in the world around us.
