Ever make it to “heaven on earth”?

I know certain religions believe heaven exist in our minds and are actually here in this life, after going through SZA for a while it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to consider that hell on earth, and the recovery phase could be described as purgatory or an intermediate place. Did you ever recover and make it to what you’d consider “heaven”? Being back to where I was before the illness wouldn’t be an exaggeration of heaven either. I’ve compared my illness with the Divine Comedy and what Dante endured in that poetry. Feel free to chime in

I no longer believe in heaven or purgatory. This like a religious topic. No I don’t compare recovery and illness to afterlife or purgatory or penance. Also do we ever recover from SZ?

I was baptized, communioned and confirmed so these concept of thinking
was part up my upbringing and distressing.

I wasn’t brought up in such a way. My parents let me decide for myself what to believe and allowed me to make my own mistakes and pay for them.

OP:

I don’t think I can associate heaven as a mind state since it wasn’t ingrained into me at a young age.

Nietzsche’s theory on eternal return speaks of this notion of the best strategy being making your own heaven just in case what comes after death isn’t so rosy.
