The way I see it - hell or heaven are NOW; they are a happening; an eternal experience of consciousness (or the "spirit", if you prefer).

"Suffering consciousnesses", if I may call it that, is the experience of a subjective hell. "Freed consciousness", as in "free from suffering", would be its opposite - the experience of subjective heaven.

In suffering consciousness, people are led by fears (of losing possessions, of enemies causing them harm, of death happening, and a million other things) and tend to try curing, or quieting, those fears by chasing desires (here "ego" may be synonymous with "Satan" - the "great deceiver"), this causes them to generally act competitively, selfishly, and greedily (actions tend to be both self-destructive and destructive to the environment). There may be a momentary feeling of satisfaction or pleasure for endeavoring in these selfish pursuits, but, ultimately, all "successes" will prove to fall short of supplying the constant state of fulfillment (wholeness) that we seek, and we inevitably find ourselves back to square one - like a rat running inside of a wheel. Suffering is endless, for as long as we continue running on this wheel (allowing the ego to run the show and make our choices).

In freed consciousness (what we may also call a "saved soul" or "salvation"), people discover the natural love that emanates from the "seed", or purest form, of consciousness (what we may call "God" or the "the Spirit" - as conscious life indeed originates from the source of consciousness). The true futility of the ego, and its games, is clearly seen from this vantage point, but only compassion is felt and expressed towards those less fortunate souls, whom still struggle to see the light. The feeling is very light and peaceful, non-judgmental, but, most importantly, the actions become selfless - for the good of the whole, as opposed to only oneself.

It's also important to point out that "good", from the vantage point of a freed soul, no longer is synonymous with "intellectually, or emotionally, satisfying", as it might be for persons being ruled by ego-games. It would rather be synonymous with "helping people to see, or experience, the light (of Truth)". The only agenda of a freed soul is to free other souls.
