What Is Heaven Like?

Only if everything dies at once.

 

Maybe it's sitting around in fluffy pink clouds with your parents and siblings for eternity,drinking Mountain Dew out of curly straws..

 

So what is it about your life to make you think oblivion a balm? You dream of a final resting place. Rest is most applicable to the weary living.

 

If you could read the interior monologue of my daily life,I'm sure you'd understand.

 

Its a secret

 

Speaking of ceasing to "experience consciousness for eternity".....I want to clarify something about my earlier post. If there is one thing regarding NDE's that is almost universally reported (if a given case, in fact, touches on the topic), it is that time as we understand it doesn't exist in that realm. The experiences may be described using certain time-related terminology but that is only because we don't have the better words. It's common to read something like "The life review seemed to happen so fast....and yet, not fast enough that I missed anything or didn't understand something....there is no time there...it all happened at once. I don't know how else to say it."

 

I think Heaven is eternal oneness with the divine. But not like fluffy clouds and unicorns all day every day. It's a feeling of perfect love and harmony with the soul of the universe. It's sort of like coming home after a long trip. It feels so comfortable and so familiar, you wish you could never leave.

 

in one's final moment you will not cease to dream . eternity diminishes endlessly . so for that
matter , die now , and live again , oh , have 5 birthdays a year .

 

I have to say that this is the most interesting Near-Death Experience story I have ever read.

Well, when you 1st get there, your genitals are removed. Not needed, no sweaty sex in heaven. Then on to harp lessons. after several years, if you're chosen from the trillions and trillions of inhabitants of all populated areas of existence, you may get to play in a vast hall where sermons from all chosen religions extant, relative to the timeless yearning for everlasting life . This will thrill you for ETERNITY and you will remain here for the duration. If you're not chosen, you will disappear in a tiny puff of smoke.

 

Heaven is within the mental contentment of the Mind
At ease in enjoyable and relaxed state of the Body
With the Soul at rest and of euphoric Spirit
= methinks

 

thank you. of course it doesn't. what each of us believes is pretty much for our own selves anyway.

if people want to believe their god came riding into town on a pogo stick, it only becomes a problem when they claim everyone who doesn't,
is worshiping some kind of terrible monster, and should be killed or abused for doing so.

 

I agree. Religious and personal beliefs only become 'problematic' or an issue when people (wether it are them or those that oppose them for some reason) make it an issue.

 

The Kingdom of God is Heaven, and according to my understanding of scriptures, it is not the pagan idea of a place off in the clouds in outer space.

The Kingdom of God is being established in the earth and Jesus came and started this movement. This revolution against the oppressive powers of the world that only know oppression (so it seems).

So, heaven according to my understanding is this:

Romans 14:17

"For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost."

The church has some work to do!

I think there is a planet named Heaven, and our spirit is whisked away to it when our body dies.
