22. I demonstrated in many sections of my book HEAVEN AND HELL that heaven and hell are from the human race; for instance, in the following. Nations and peoples outside the church in heaven (HH 318-328). Children in heaven (HH 329-345) The wise and the simple in heaven (HH 345-356). The rich and the poor in heaven (HH 357-365). Each individual is a spirit in his interiors (HH 432-444). Man after death possesses a perfect human form (HH 453-460). Man after death has every sense, memory, thought and affection which he had in the world, and leaves nothing behind except his earthly body (HH 461-469). Man's first state after death (HH 491-498); his second state (HH 499-511); his third state (HH 512-517). Further about the hells (HH 536-588), All of these passages offer detailed proofs that heaven is not composed of a class of angels created from the beginning, nor hell of a devil and his crew, but only of those who were born as human beings.
