I believe that what we consider to be Heaven is our paradise!. How ever you see it!. That perfect image of the true and happy life meant for you!. I believe that life on earth is Hell and if we do not reach our ultimate goal of true happiness, or enlightenment if you will, by the time we die, than we are cast back to hell for the opportunity to try again!. If however you do reach your Divine state upon your death than you get to move on into the Heavens, or your true paradise!. Whether it be another realm or just a state of consciousness, I do not quite know!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
