Since heaven is not really a place (although it can be) it is mostly a state of consciousness. All enlightened people have discovered this.
This is why the statement, "Heaven on earth" is a true one and doesn't matter if it is a place or a state of consciousness in this sense.
For example, someone like a Saint might be in a heaven state even when burned at the stake or something like this as well.
Or someone who doesn't understand might be in horror every moment until they die. It's all about one's state of being and consciousness.
Could it be said then that Ignorance is hell?
Yes. I think this might be the best definition of Hell.
If you understand the nature of life then you also understand the nature of Heaven and if you are kind to yourself you will generate a heaven to live in and if you are kind to other beings you will also generate heavens that they might live in too if they are capable of that.
But, generally speaking each being must generate their own heavens even though many people can be in heaven here on earth at the same time in proximity to one another or across the world as friends or relatives or acquaintances.
