Heaven is on earth. Heaven is being alive and blessed with good things, relationships, food shelter and the ability to enjoy or appreciate these things. Heaven is health particularly mental health. Hell is death and suffering. People from different times and or cultures express things in different ways. Prayer, meditation and other practises improve mental function, mental health and well being. Sin causes tension in the mind, it reduces the effectiveness of the brain and makes a person vulnerable to evil. Avoiding sin, prayer is a defence against many of the evils of this world particularly if everyone in a society adopts them.
