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
In a speech about mental wellness, one might say, 'As Wayne Dyer puts it, heaven is a state of mind.'
What is hope but a feeling of optimism, a thought that says things will improve, it won't always be bleak, there's a way to rise above the present circumstances.

It's not that humans and non-humans are identical... but the lack of understanding that led to the slave trade is the same lack of understanding many people have about animals today. When slaves were brought over from Africa, many people believed they were not humans, that they didn't have feelings. Many people believe that primates and other animals don't have feelings, too, but they do.
A man does not have to go and find where his eyes are in order to see. The heart is there, always open to you, if you care to enter it, always supporting your movements, although you may be unaware of it. It is perhaps more correct to say that the Self is the Heart. Really the Self is the centre and is everywhere aware of itself as the Heart or Self-awareness.
The ascetic is often a sensualist who has reached the limit of his capacity.
Misled by fancy's meteor ray, By passion driven; But yet the light that led astray Was light from heaven.
The dream remains overloaded with the badly lived passions of daytime life. Solitude in the nocturnal dream is always a hostility. It is strange. It isn't really our solitude.
