"Heaven is not a location but refers to the inner realm of consciousness. This is the esoteric meaning of the word, and
this is also its meaning in the teachings of Jesus. Earth, on the other hand, is the outer manifestation in form, which is always
a reflection of the inner. Collective human consciousness and life on our planet are intrinsically connected. "A new heaven" is
the emergence of a transformed state of human consciousness, and "a new earth" is its reflection in the physical realm. Since
human life and human consciousness are intrinsically one with the life of the planet, as the old consciousness dissolves,
there are bound to be synchronistic geographic and climatic natural upheavals in many parts of the planet, some of which we
are already witnessing now." (Eckhart Tolle, "A New Earth")
This is what I believe, as well.
