útlím

Útlím is a term with origins in Old Norse, often translated as "outer darkness" or "outer gloom." It refers to a state of spiritual desolation, a profound absence of divine presence or hope. In a theological context, it is sometimes associated with eternal damnation or a complete separation from God. This concept appears in various religious and philosophical traditions, often serving as a metaphor for extreme spiritual suffering and isolation. The idea suggests a place or condition devoid of light, warmth, and spiritual sustenance, representing the ultimate consequence of certain actions or beliefs within those frameworks. The imagery of útlím evokes a sense of permanent abandonment and despair.
