Do you really believe there is a heaven that when we do enough good we'll eventually go to (in spirit)? A hell if we do the contrary? What about purgatory, where is that located? Or are all of these "state" could be here now depending on what we do to ourselves and others? What do you think and why so?

My analysis of Heaven as a question and charge/question to people

My analysis of the brain, mind and spirit
Both of those may paint more of a picture on my thoughts in this matter.
I'm still wondering about what is really the correct answer. For the record and for the most part I do believe in some sort of afterlife and the antithesis of this. I also wonder and think that there could be reincarnation or some sort of incarnation no mortal could ever truly know or imagine...until it happens. Its also possible we are currently living in "Heaven" or "Hell" or "Purgatory"...right now, this very second. Our lives either serve as the afterlife or as a construct for us to comprehend what we are going through.

Well, according to the Pope who is in power right now Heaven and Hell are actually physical places. Not too long ago He actually "Spoke from the Chair" and said this.
Yeah right, I do not believe that Heaven and Hell are physical places here on earth or wherever the Pope says they are.
I believe the Hell is the absence of G'd and Heaven is the presence of G'd. When you die, You have one last shot at forgiveness. You stand or exist in the presence of your Maker. If you have the "guts" to face up to what you have done in this life, and ask for forgiveness for all the stupid things you have done, I think you will get to spend eternity in His presence. If you are stubborn or chicken, and do not take the blame for what you have done then you will spend eternity without G'd which I feel will be Hell.

I believe that when we die, our soul returns to the Lord. Heaven and Hell will not exist on earth until the end times. At that time, He will decided which souls deserve heaven or hell. It's not just a matter of being "good" enough to get to heaven, for all men fall short the Glory of God. It's what in our heart that matters.
