Exploring Heaven and Hell: Beyond the Literal into the Metaphorical
No Literal Door to Heaven or Hell in Space
There is no scientific evidence or consensus regarding a literal gate to heaven or hell in space. These concepts are typically understood as religious or philosophical ideas rather than physical locations. In various cultures and religions, heaven and hell are often depicted metaphorically or symbolically, representing states of existence or moral outcomes rather than actual places accessible in the physical universe.

The Impossibility of Human Travel Through Such Gates
If there were such a gate, humans would eventually be able to travel through it without dying. However, I do believe that such a gate exists somewhere, but you can't travel there alone. You need some sort of guidance or something. I am not really sure of the answer, but if I had to guess, I would say that the two only ways possible for us to know if there are gates for heaven and hell are if:
We die. We achieve some form of enlightenment.But then again, the possibility of enlightenment would be just because God wants it, and I think most of us are not worthy of that.
Parallel Dimensions and the Invisible Veil
According to M-theory and string theory, there are parallel dimensions happening right around us at all times. However, because we are not "tuned in to that frequency," they remain invisible to us. This is what I believe about heaven. It is all around us right now, but it is only when we are tuned into that frequency that we are able to see and experience it.
This aligns with Christian beliefs. Jesus' first message was, "The kingdom of God is among you." There was also the time when angels were seen "ascending and descending" into and out of heaven and tending to Jesus. Jesus also said, "If I cast out devils by the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you." Most Christians accept that there is no sickness or death in heaven. Jesus healed the sick and raised the dead. How did he do it? He was tuned into that 'parallel dimension' where people don't get sick or die. Thus, he was able to reach across and pull that reality into this one. That was his mission: 'Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.'
The Apostle Paul said, "We are hidden with Christ in God" and "We are seated in heaven with Christ." The implication is that we exist simultaneously between these two dimensions. But the unrepentant mind, the mind not renewed by the spirit of God, is unable to tune into the frequency that allows us to experience the other one. It remains trapped in this world with its vision limited to the 5 senses.
In short, heaven is all around us all the time, but there is something like an invisible veil between this world and that one. We can only get through by going through Jesus. 'No one comes to the Father except by me.'
Conclusion and Further Reading
