Heaven & Hell

What is Heaven? What is hell? Do each of these have an address somewhere in the universe? Can they be scientifically analyzed, verified or pigeonholed objectively? Are these places that we go after death, in the afterlife, if there is one? The universe is definitely made up of two dimensions. The external or form dimension including thoughts and emotions as well as experiences ,and the internal invisible dimension which primary is characterised by consciousness or awareness. If we look at the human being, we can see that a human being is a microcosm of the universe. The human has an external form and an internal dimension that is invisible. Is there any way to prove objectively that this invisible dimension exist,or pigeonhole it, or quantify it scientifically ?The answer is no. The brain is not your consciousness. Science has looked into the brain, dissected it ,and traced all the neurons back into the brain and has found nothing. No evidence of consciousness. Yet somehow we all know that it is there, with us all the time. This consciousness or awareness is what allows you to read these words on the page, it's what allows you to experience and know anything. Without it there is nothing. This is the ground where Heaven and Hell both exists. Heaven and Hell both, are not things,and are not places or destinations, they are specific states of consciousness. If we realize it, the state of Heaven consciousness, which has been completely liberated from the ego consciousness, we are already in heaven and we will perceive the world as a heavenly world. If we are still dominated by the ego mind ,and living or experiencing and perceiving through the ego consciousness or the Hell consciousness ,then we are in Hell. This is a state of consciousness based on division ,separation, loneliness, comparison ,envy, jealousy, hatred, anger and all the other poisonous emotions associated with perceiving life through a Hell consciousness. If we die with that state of consciousness , we are still in Hell just like before we died. Nothing has changed except we have given our physical body back to Mother Earth, but our state of consciousness remains the same. If we realize Heaven's consciousness before we die, after we die we will still be in Heaven. Nothing has changed except we have relinquished our body back to Mother earth and our state of consciousness has remained the same. This is why Jesus said " What you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and what you lose on earth shall be lost in heaven. Do not look for Heaven and Hell outside yourself or through another person. Heaven and Hell exists within your own mind and state of consciousness. This is what all of the traditions and spiritual teachings have taught all along. We have simply forgotten or lost this perspective for some reason. Humanity is simply looking in the wrong direction, which is what the ego wants to happen. The ego is the master of deception in turning one's attention and focus of consciousness away from Heaven, thereby trapping it Hell.
