If theosis is the final state of the soul in its readiness to partake in Christ's divinity and to be in the Presence of God, then heaven and hell are not what we make of them. Each human soul has been created with a combination of different tastes, appetites and intensities of appetites and each one of us, expresses adoration and love in perfectly unique ways. In the Presence of God, we are not automatons who adore God and consequently experience eternal ecstasy. Rather, we are each unique admirers of God and unique vessels and receptors of God's own love. We dance uniquely in His light. We eat and praise and play and laugh differently in the Presence of God. Therefore, to each soul, Heaven, though an experience of the infinite Joy and Wisdom of God, would be unique.
