Paradise exists in this place called Here and Now

True that. Mine drifts in and out of view on many daily occasions. When I pause long enough to open my spiritual eye, it is always there.
However, I consider this to be a backwards way of looking at the whole picture:

Life should be easy. It should be a Paradise, actually.

My assertion may become reasonable if we put our thoughts in this perspective:
Firstly, Heaven (or Paradise if you prefer) is a higher order of existence - a higher state of mind. To elaborate, simply compare the flesh to the mind and see which one is less prone to getting "soiled" under normal usage - and then, which one, when soiled has the most indelible result from this condition.
It would also be prudent to consider that Paradise was not constructed for the sake of humanity, but that human nature was expressed for the sake of Paradise. I say this because the "edict" of Heaven predates mortal existence. Why? ...Because the soul is immortal. It's not that when we are mortally born, we suddenly have a ticket to go for a ride on the eternity bus - Eternity precedes any finite object or time. The finite are phenomenon within the infinite. It is always there; We have always existed because we exist at all.
But this is not to say that when we are thrown into existence (a grasping of self awareness), that we are already self evolved - we may be self contained - but we are nothing but infants when self awareness begins to appear and develops along the way. Our journey involves the growth, and merging of our "best" natures, and that is a journey best "organized" through a movement in time.
Because of an occult law, called the "Law of Attraction", places and objects are eternally bonded to each other - we as entities in creation are objects always bonded to our location(s) - but do not think that "places" are limited to physical places. There are also places in mind where our emotions, symbol languages and intuitions exist - so too, do we dwell in these.
Paradise, by its design is a place of harmony, bliss, serenity - and all positive things that compose a "self-loving" entity (God, the Absolute, Ein Sof, Void, Mind - whatever you want to call it). By this design, virtually anything that does not, will not, and accidentally nor absolutely refuses to dwell there "where the House Rules", is ejected. That entity cannot be there. It is forbidden, and it is the nature of the mind, of the individual, that places them where they exist - locked by the "Law of Attraction" into the location best suited to their state of mind.
The entity is not allowed to exist in this house of divinity, so other houses are made for it - houses such as "torment", "despair" "envy", "possessiveness" etc. Anyone who says that "life should be paradise", and it isn't paradise for them obviously exists in another house, they should first identify with and then escape from (so long as they choose to do so). If it doesn't happen in this physical life, I predict it will happen in some other one.
