According to this perspective, heaven and hell are not destinations after death but rather states we experience daily while living on Earth. The idea is that each day presents a choice between living in a positive or negative state of being.

The text explores the concept of "heaven" and its connection to our conscious self, suggesting that practicing religion can boost optimism and happiness. However, it disagrees with the idea that we will always live in heaven, stating that we can understand heaven through our understanding of the world. The text emphasizes the importance of understanding our world and living in a golden era.

This really got me thinking. And I have this submission. Heaven is right here, seeing myself achieving my dreams against all odds. Knowing that the person I want to beat at every opportunity is me. Hitting each milestone, whether it falls within my timeframe or not, gives me that peace of mind I desire. Accpeting what I can't change and changing what I can successfully, gives me the joy I desire. What is the ultimate feeling of Heaven? Living in Joy and Peace of mind. However, I still leave my life in anticipation of living in a greater peace, joy and happiness at the end of my life on earth. This is the ultimate Heaven one can ever live in.

I believe in this statement as well. The idea is that our perception of life can transform our experience of it. If we embrace gratitude, love, and appreciation for the present moment, we can find joy and contentment in our everyday lives. By recognizing and valuing the beauty and positivity around us, we can experience a sense of living in a personal "heaven" here and now, and maintain that sense of peace and happiness throughout our lives.

Have you ever stopped to look around and appreciate the beauty surrounding us daily? From the gentle rustling of leaves in the wind to the vibrant colors of a sunset, we are truly living in Heaven, and always have been, and always will be.

Base of my mental state, I feel good when I align with my higher self, and I feel bad when I go with my lower self, that's how I tell my difference of heaven and earth, metaphorically.

I love this line. Our world is truly a magical place, heaven on earth. One could go on forever about the miracles we see every day, the gifts we receive daily, and the beautiful messages we receive when our minds are quiet.

Heaven isn't a perfect, lifeless state. It's a playground where we can endlessly chase goals and experience the thrill of challenges and triumphs. It's a place of infinite possibilities and endless growth. We're already living in this heavenly realm, and finding inner peace means recognizing the divine interconnectedness of all things.
