#philosophy #religion >The Kingdom of **Heaven**. Other-worldliness is a conception which Jews and Christians, in a sense, share with later Platonism, but it takes, with them, a much more concrete form than with Greek philosophers. The Greek doctrine-which is to be found in much Christian philosophy, but not in popular Christianity-was that the sensible world, in space and time, is an illusion, and that, by intellectual and moral discipline, a man can learn to live in the eternal world, which alone is real. The Jewish and Christian doctrine, on the other hand, conceived the Other World as not metaphysically different from this world, but as in the future, when the virtuous would enjoy everlasting bliss and the wicked would suffer ever lasting ~ [[Bertrand Russell]] [[Plato]]: **heaven** in one's mind >The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a **heaven** of hell, a hell of **heaven** ~[[John Milton]] [[The Church]]: **heaven** is a physical place
