What does all this have to do with Heaven and Hell? I tend to take the bible metaphorically and consider it a rather good work of fiction. It teaches a lot of good lessons, but I consider it to be part of our mythology more so then the word of God.
Hell: A place where people that did wrong during life are punished. What if we look at our Conscience as our own personal hell? When we do bad things, our mind goes into hell.
Heaven: A condition or place of great happiness, delight, or pleasure. What if we look at self satisfaction we feel when we help others as our own personal heaven? We help others and in general do good, and our mind goes to heaven.
Consider it, you are a normal person living a normal life and doing normal things. After a bad day you get mad at one of your friends and chew him out for no good reason. You feel like shit until you resolve it a few days later. Next month, you volunteer for Habitat for Humanity and help a family in need. Now you feel great.
Look at your actions over the next few days as your own heaven and hell and consider if this metaphor works in your life.
