Two women and one man are locked up together for eternity in one hideous room in Hell.

The windows are bricked up, there are no mirrors, the electric lights can never be turned off, and there is no exit. The irony of this Hell is that its torture is not of the rack and fire, but of the burning humiliation of each soul as it is stripped of its pretenses by the cruel curiosity of the damned.

Here the soul is shorn of secrecy, and even the blackest deeds are mercilessly exposed to the fierce light of Hell. It is an eternal torment.

Teachers from other spiritual traditions are also cited here, including Saint Augustine, Meister Eckhart, and Martin Buber. They shed light on certain important aspects of the spiritual path and are a great source of inspiration. Any system of thought is eventually caught in its own game.

The study of other systems may help to avoid that fate, at least partially. The reification of the Buddha nature by certain authors-the erroneous interpretation of it as a kind of "thing" to be grasped-can serve as an example.
