The Kingdom of Heaven is not a place, but a state of mind.

Infernal world, and thou profoundest Hell
Receive thy new Possessor: One who brings
A mind not to be chang'd by Place or Time.
The mind is its own place, and in it self
Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n.

The mind can make a heaven out of hell or a hell out of heaven

The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.
