What Is Heaven Like?

What is Heaven like if it exists?

It'd be great to hear from people who have seen or been to it.

It'd be great to hear from people who have learned things about it.

It's be great to hear theories from people.

~Thanks.

 

It's what earth is when we accept and forgive eachother. It's between our ears or manifested in reality by acting upon what's between our ears.

 

Does not exist!

 

It is what anyone wants to make it....i think....it starts with accepting oneself....and loving oneself....

It's a big golden hall with mead and pork on the menu, daily.

Except if you die peacefully in your bed I think. Then you go somewhere else (maybe serve the pork and mead? ), but at least not sit at the table in that hall.

 

that's an interesting way of putting it. it would certainly have to be in the eye of the beholder at any rate.

i can tell people what i'd like it to be, and so can everyone else, and no two of us would be describing the same place.

i know i've lived previous lives, and i can tell you what i feel the worlds i lived them on were like, but if there was anything to experience between lives, i have no sensation of it.

and as i'm sure several will quickly point out, that's all anecdotal too. which thereby doesn't mean jack to anyone else.

your point, that its what this earth would be if we didn't insist on screwing it up, is absolutely spot on too.

 

Heaven is an afterlife, minus circumstances too horrific to speak of.

Basically it's somewhere where we can be stable and alive. I don't know if it has so much to do with seeing dead loved ones, because if there is a forever then they're with you forever via having been a part of your life. They may come and go like dreams. Maybe not too much differently from how we dream now, though. There will also be werewolves and spacemen to keep things interesting.

 

In regards to your beliefs about your past lifes: does it matter that it means jack to others?

 

If you really want to know what happens, I suggest you start reading some Near Death Experiences. Who better to ask than those who have been dead or near dead and came back? I've read hundreds, if not, a thousand or more accounts and several studies on the subject. I think what you will find is not what most religious people expect. Not every account is the same but after you've read enough of them you begin to see a lot of the same things described or manifested differently.

For instance, one common event is the life review...which has been described many different ways and not all NDE's report this experience (no single experience is reported universally). Most people who report life reviews describe them as a way that they judge their own actions. In the event that there is another "being" guiding them through it (usually) that entity is non-judgmental and only there to help. Many people also say that as they review all of their interactions, they experience the way they made others feel in a given situation as a learning tool.

So that's the tip of the iceberg on one facet. If you're interested, you should look into the subject. One thing that I can say is rare, for sure, is that out of all of the accounts I have read, I can probably count on one hand the number of times I read anything about demons, hell, etc. and all of those accounts had some pretty major red flags that made me question their validity.

 

Oh I plan on going out in a frenzy! Lopped off arms and heads and whatever will be. then Freyja will take me to her Halls and I will peacefully amongst nymphs and goddess. Or, Wotan will see my fierce potential and crown me Valkyrie where I will choose my warriors very carefully as they are slain in combat.

 

oh no,, not the scrabble game....

 

Sounds like we will meet later then

 

Heaven is the most illogical and self wish-fulfilling fantasies that although quite forgivable as a human wish-fulfilment,as ab actual physical reality contains so many illogical inconsistencies that without too many ontological enquiries must surely debunk it as being one of just many of the many mythomaniac formations of a deranged logic that however admirable in it's variety of ideations throughout history must be very vehemently opposed to as being worthwhile as a constituting an outright and to the death with this untenable concept of God as we profess to know him.

what kind of heaven do you conceive of? An eternity of pleasure wherein every pleasure is instantly realized with no end,which would ultimately only endure as a series of ultimate displeasures owing to the ensuing guilt of an existence with no moral compass which the trying to take possession of is one of the most self-completing tasks in life.

I could continue ad-nausea why the idea of heaven has no rational or furthermore tangible desire for me,except to explode the popular notion of a kind of artificial paradise in which everything you want to do is entirely possible,even as you realize that all of it has no corporeal reality,which is the one and only thing living for and dying for in this one and only chance at life.

It is one of my final and largely Godless wishes that when I die I cease to experience consciousness for eternity,and that there is neither an experience of this absence either,for there is not even the slightest flicker of being to forget or remember.My deepest wish is lights out for eternity,and that,in a sense,is my idea of heaven.A complete end to conscious awareness,without even awareness of this ceaselessness,is my greatest and soothing balm wish for my death.

 

I just know there are lots of cats there..and flowers, and books...

 

After death, there is nothing more than decomposition!

For ALL living things on this planet!

 

How do you know that is a fact?

 

Did not say it was a fact, it is simply my personal opinion, as is yours.

 

Very well, then.
