Peace Mission belief is monistic is term of its philosophy of mind, that is the soul is not separate from the body, and God does not exist on a plane of consciousness separate from the human one. In Peace Mission belief, there is no heaven because heaven has been here where Father in a body once existed corporeally, and heaven is conceptually everywhere and anywhere one can earnestly make a mental connection with that eternal mind substance that is the essence of what believers know as Father Divine.
