What are heaven and hell?
Heaven and hell are not actual places
somewhere in the universe, but really our inner
conditions or the condition of the spirit resulting
from our deeds. Heaven and hell begin in this life
within a person's heart. The feelings of bliss and
contentment at doing good is the heaven in
one's heart. And the guilt, shame and greed felt
by an evil doer is the hell of the heart. After
death, the heaven or hell that developed in the
heart is unfolded before us and becomes the
world in which we live, and we live in it not with
the physical body of this life but the 'spiritual'
body made from our deeds.
