Every (legitimate) spiritual path begins with the founder teaching and practicing unconditional universal love. This being a difficult path, it does not take long before various "shortcuts" are offered as substitutes. Loving your neighbor is too hard? No worries, just say the magic words "I believe in Jesus" and make a donation on Sundays, you'll be aight. The Noble Eightfold Path too steep of a climb for ya? Here, sing this magic chant and the Buddha of the Pure Land will pick you up and place you right in heaven. etc...
The point being: heaven (or 4D+, if you prefer) is only heaven because it is populated by people who care about others' well-being, at the very least, just a bit more than about their own. Hell is only hell (4D-) for the same exact reason. The light and love of the Creator is within each of us. We need to let it shine out. This requires work. In this work, we are helped to various degrees, and this is called grace in Christianity -- but if we're not willing to pick up and carry the cross, no one is going to come down and do it all for us. That would simply defeat the entire point of the Creation, which took a lot of work to put together!
