Interesting ideas. As far as I'm concerned, heaven and hell are largely allegorical, they are more to do with vibrational levels than anything else. The Muladhara can be thought of as hell, because it is hot and fiery. We have the popular image of the Devil (red hot and horned), poking people in the bottom with a trident. That does seem like an image of awakening Kundalini to me. The top Chakra, the Thousand-petalled lotus is the seventh. Don't we talk about seventh heaven all the time? To me that Chakra is heaven, or at least a conduit to it. Those that live in the Muladhara, stuck in the material world, are already in Hell, they just don't know it. Those that have transmuted their earthly energies and have pierced the Sahasrara are already in Heaven and they know it. They walk with the Gods and have constant access to higher realms and higher beings. That is basically the gist of all mystery traditions. It really is that simple, in my view.
