'''''[[The Holy Mountain]]''''' is a 1973 Mexican surrealist film directed, written, produced, co-scored, co-edited by and starring Alejandro Jodorowsky, who also participated as a set designer and costume designer on the film. The film is based on ''Ascent of Mount Carmel'' by John of the Cross and ''[[Mount Analogue]]'' by René Daumal. In this film, much of Jodorowsky's visually psychedelic story follows the metaphysical thrust of ''Mount Analogue''. This is revealed in such events as the climb to the [[alchemy|alchemist]], the assembly of individuals with specific skills, the discovery of the mountain that unites [[Heaven]] and [[Earth]] "that cannot not exist," and symbolic challenges along the mountain ascent.
'''[[Heaven]]''' is a common religious cosmological or transcendent supernatural place where beings such as deities, [[angel]]s, souls, [[saint]]s, or venerated ancestors are said to originate, be enthroned, or reside. According to the beliefs of some religions, heavenly beings can descend to [[Earth]] or incarnate and earthly beings can ascend to Heaven in the afterlife or, in exceptional cases, enter Heaven without dying.


Heaven is often described as a "highest place," the holiest place, a paradise, in contrast to [[hell]] or the underworld or the "low places" and universally or conditionally accessible by earthly beings according to various standards of divinity, goodness, piety, faith, or other virtues or right beliefs or simply divine will. At least in the [[Abrahamic religion]]s of [[Christianity]], [[Islam]], and some schools of [[Judaism]], as well as Zoroastrianism, heaven is the realm of afterlife where good actions in the previous life are rewarded for eternity (hell being the place where bad behavior is punished).
