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

...God does not possess a private knowledge of Himself and a separate knowledge of all the creatures in common. The universal Cause, by knowing Itself, can hardly be ignorant of the things which proceed from It and of which It is the source. This, then, is how God knows all things, not by understanding things, but by understanding Himself.
Thinking about time is to acknowledge two contradictory certainties: that our outward lives are governed by the seasons and the clock; that our inward lives are governed by something much less regular-an imaginative impulse cutting through the dictates of daily time, and leaving us free to ignore the boundaries of here and now and pass like lightning along the coil of pure time, that is, the circle of the universe and whatever it does or does not contain.
In the old days, people used to risk their lives in India or in the Americas in order to bring back products which now seem to us to have been of comically little worth.
Have "eternal wait," infinite patience. When you have infinite patience, you will realize God belongs to you. Either through awareness or through practice you reach the same spot.
