the only heaven.

If hell is living in the past and the future, then heaven is being fully present in the moment.

It’s also the only real gauge of true success: not money, not fame, not likes, not kudos, not even passion.

It was successful if we were fully present.

The irony in all of this is that many religious people spend their lives in guilt and regret for the past - or trying to forgive it - in anticipation of the future - when things will be great - and thus, living in hell, and completely missing the possibility of heaven.

This is, just to repeat, what I believe Jesus and the rest of the liberated crew always said and always says.
