its not eternal, not the way they think of it. i've said it a few times here, but i have seen the wheel of samsara, years before i knew what it was. in the west it's called the wheel of fortune and even has its own tarot card.  when i saw it, i was flying towards it, through clouds and there were fractals all around me, and in the wheel there were different dimensions (energy fields), and i was being pulled the flight path was not my own. i flew back into my body, and i know now that mahakala was pulling me back into my body. mahakala is shiva, he's real. and yes i'm white, before other anons ask. point is, hell is a temporary state where you suffer in order to cleanse you of karma so that you can try again in this world.
