""According to this derivation heaven would be conceived as the roof of the world. Others trace a connection between 'himin' (heaven) and 'home'. According to this view, which seems to be the more probable, heaven would be the abode of the Godhead."" http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07170a.htm I believe that human words all mean the same few basic things, based on the fact that the universe exists by virtue of the interaction of a few fundamental energies. I think humans make a dozen or more words for the same things, and it is the loss of this simplicity of life that has caused all the strife and disagreement (the tower of Babel (babble) that we build and confuse the languages of men.) Heaven just means something like "home of all the laws of nature, the Devas". In the Western traditions it is where the angels (root: angirasas/agni) and the Godhead exist, just like in the 'Richo Akshare' verse of the Vedas that Cardmeister quoted. The Godhead is just the wholeness of all the others, that is more than the sum of its parts. OffWorld
