Really, Copperegla, I think Valinor is a combination of Heaven and the garden of Eden. It is an unspoiled realm, not like this middle-earth, where greed and materialism ruin everything, even though there is much beauty here.
Quoting: Outis 83935765 Recall 1 Kings 8:2, referring to the "heavens of the heavens". See also Enoch. Like the bible, in Tolkien's narrative there are multiple layers of heaven. As we read in the first chapters of Silmarillion (Ainulindale and Valaquenta), there are multiple layers of the realms navigated by the Ainur. Eru creator of all allowed the Ainur to enter the new world (Arda) they had sung. The creation of special gardens is attributed in part to Yavanna. Tolkien would have spoken these words constantly, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."
