Heaven

The nature of heaven
belongs to [God’s image and likeness].¹

— Yin Fu Ching 1:3-4

 

Heaven is not a locality,
but a divine state of Mind
in which all the manifestations
of Mind are harmonious and immortal,
because sin is not there
and one is found having
no righteousness of one’s own,
but in possession of
‘the Mind of the Lord,’
as the Scripture says. ²

— Mary Baker Eddy
