As it was in Dante's 'Inferno', you may first walk through hell to find your joy. But you may very well never emerge from hell.
Buddhists and meditators contemplate all around you, all using the tremendous power given to them as divine beings to seek only answers that favor them. The devil in the abyss, now hidden by the curtain of the "universe", gives you laws of attraction, yoga, oneness, wellness, manifesting. Lures the narcissist towards self-divinity. Towards a divine mind that can no longer surrender.
"Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste", states your intellect, telling you to believe what is most acceptable. To think and grow rich. Telling you that, with your superior intellect, you can easily get comfortable with any horrors you are willing to encounter.
The thoughts telling you to still your mind, to jump into the subconscious - the abyss - are also telling you to experience as many horrors in the flesh as possible. Knowing that, in your self-centeredness, you will become quickly dulled to the horrors, and will instead incorporate their forbidden fruits into your darkening desires.
