Abstract:
Heaven and hell in purgatory and hereafter are the results of the objectivity of "deed" and "punishment" in this world. What makes the objectivity between the action and its punishment possible is being the agent of the soul's imagination in issuing exemplary images that are appropriate to the action, and we call the sum of these exemplary images "inner heaven or hell". The basic problem of this research is to recognize - not just to know - being the agent of the power of imagination in the formation of heaven or hell within humans, using the analytical method. The main finding of the current research, which was obtained based on the systematic analysis of the psychological foundations of Sadr al-Mutalahin in the two positions of "Exemplary isolation of the power of imagination and the creation of the inner heaven" and "The creation of images and the creation of the inner heaven", indicates being the agent of the power of the self's imagination in creation of exemplary images in proportion to one's perceptions of the five senses and thoughts. These images remain at the level of self's imagination, and if the result of these images is consistent with the blessings and characteristics of heaven, then a person will live in the inner heaven, and if the characteristics of hell and the people of hell are true to them, he will burn in the inner hell right now.
