Heaven: actual place.......Hell: the state of mind when realization that eternity is lost..and the cost for which you paid for it....Purgatory: made up by the Pope back in the years 550-750 AD......whatever.....longtimeago.

is there truth to quantum physics and do multiple universes exist I don't know.. The Kindom of heaven is spread before us men do not see it. That's what Jesus said. There was a great Buddhist king, who was so kind and loved, that the angels in heaven longed for his arrival. so that they might learn form him. When the great king died he arrived at his destination and was there for awhile when he said "heaven is so much nicer than I thought it would be." Heaven Lord this is not heaven this is HELL the people here are miserable but your light and presence brings us joy. Just then the angels of heaven arrived and were sorry for the mix up we will take you to heaven now. "NO thank you I have found my heaven here."
Heaven is right here if we look and hell is right here if we want it its all about how we look at it..

Heaven and Hell are REAL places!!!!! You choose your destiny! How? You might say. Well, by accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. You can't just know it in your head, but BELIEVE!!!! I really believe that the Lord is my Daddy. I can't wait to get to heaven and worship Him for
eternity because God decided to sacrifice His only Son on the cross so that I may have life! Now THAT'S what I call a TRUE FATHER!!!! I don't deserve eternal life when I die. But, God is so full of mercy and grace. I should have been on that cross! I love Him sooooooo much!!!!!

They are real places. Heaven is in West Virginia, purgatory is being stuck in a lavatory, and hell is being stuck in traffic for eternity.Everyone knows this.

States of being. There is no physical place or location for either heaven or hell.

To my understanding, a few years back the pope at the time redefined all three as states of being rather than actual places. Personally, I can more readily agree that they are self-created states of being in *this* life rather than actual places that occur after life.

Figments of the imagination.
But if I were to believe in this stuff, I would say that they are more like states of being, where you and other's are also in states of being. They can't be places, because places are natural, and this stuff is supernatural. Which don't exist.

States of consciousness..
In hell you are fully identifying with your ego-mind, which is pretty much the devil, the wicked that is burning.. It is a fearful state//Unconsious mind brought conscious, instant karma..
In purgatory you try to overcome the 7 weaknesses (dwarfs) and free yourself from the ego-mind, you try to light up the darkness in the mind all hidden fears.... It is a process of unchaining (devils chains) the heart//You seperate from ego-mind and its illusion. You need to conquer the darkness in your mind, Christ will help you walk on the ocean, which stands for subconsious mind, fear or underworld//.This divorce is necessary to reach:
Heaven..You now have unchained the Prince (Jesus Christ) in your heart that kisses you awake from the dream we live in and are ready to marry Him..When you conquer all fear you conquer death.. Your mind is lit up, no trace of fear...no disease, no tears..Now you fully identify with Love. every corner of your heart is Light. I hear all my dreams will come true right away....
All can be reached while alive..So I guess different people can be in the same world living in different ones.. I am in the middle one and feel close to finally being alone with Him..Then my life can start, His life can start..
Love
