Heaven is a state of mind, not a location, since Spirit is everywhere and in everything.
Interpretation
Heaven is defined by one's mindset rather than a physical place; it exists within us all.
This quote by Wayne Dyer emphasizes that our perception of heaven is shaped by our mental and emotional state rather than being confined to a specific geographical or spiritual location. It suggests that by cultivating a positive and open-minded spirit, we can experience a sense of heaven in our daily lives, as the essence of existence is interconnected and pervasive.
In practice
In a speech about mental wellness, one might say, 'As Wayne Dyer puts it, heaven is a state of mind.'

Neither fear your death's day nor long for it.
Behind it all is surely an idea so simple, so beautiful, that when we grasp it - in a decade, a century, or a millennium - we will all say to each other, how could it have been otherwise? How could we have been so stupid?
I see nothing but Becoming. Be not deceived! It is the fault of your limited outlook and not the fault of the essence of things if you believe that you see firm land anywhere in the ocean of Becoming and Passing. You need names for things, just as if they had a rigid permanence, but the very river in which you bathe a second time is no longer the same one which you entered before
Birth, death, and suffering all bring us to the very edge of what our minds can understand.
I urge you to sin. But not against these itty-bitty religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism-or their secular derivatives, Marxism, Maoism, Freudianism and Jungianism-whic h are all derivatives of the big religion of patriarchy. Sin against the infrastructure itself!
Death in itself is nothing; but we fear to be we know not what, we know not where.
