THE PURPOSE OF HEAVEN AND HELL:
The purpose of heaven and hell are best understood though Hinduism.
The Hindu supreme god Brahman is made of seven gods.
In a definite order, these are,
1. Indra - the god of day dreaming/ happiness
2. Shakti - the god of illusion
3. Brahma - the god of creativity
4. Vishnu - the god of stabilization
5. Shiva - the god of determination
6. Shani - the god of status increase
7. Yama - the god of compulsion
The central god Vishnu facilitates both thoughts and actions equally, but to the least extent and therefore the safest Hindu god. Indra facilitates just thoughts, but to the maximum extent, and Yama just actions but to the maximum extent.
The most peripheral gods Indra and Yama are the most difficult to worship. Indra may trap us eternally in a daydream world and Yama may make us reckless.Thus, the use of the peripheral gods/ forces in their original form is prohibited.
They are modified and made virtual in such a way that they can be used to convert a thought into socially acceptable thoughts and actions only.
Thus, Indra became the god of heaven and Yama the god of hell.
HELL:
A thought that needs the Yama (compulsive) force to get converted into action gets abolished, gets modified by the virtual Yama force, based on situations in which the action was accepted by the society. We can't control the virtual Yama force.
HEAVEN:
A thought that can trap us in a daydream world too is modified by heaven/ dreaming force and transformed into action. We can't control the virtual Indra force also.
Thus, heaven and hell have nothing to do with our death, and are mechanisms that abolish socially unacceptable thoughts and actions and modify them to make them socially acceptable.
