my ideal heaven would be living my life as it is now, but with infinite time for self-expression.
my idea of heaven is a little different. it's more like a firmament that separates the waters, and when you meet it, at the end, you become one with everything, which is indescribable, more than likely. an experience, that's for sure.

2 hits of acid, 2 hits of orange teslas, an unquantifiable dose of MXE, hitting some Dimitri, and getting a a couple hour long blowjob in the morning. My personal heaven is recreated, it's never the same thing twice, but sometimes the bar is set pretty high.
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

It would be where I felt completely sure and at ease with myself. And where love surrounds me and I surround everything in love.

72 virgins after self detonation in a public building?
Not really. I'm creating my heaven right here, bit by bit. It's a fine tuning process, cause I was born into hell, but I'm putting no stock into an afterlife, in case their isn't one. But I'm living in a way that would guarantee that I'd get a good place in one, just in case their is, and that's making my time here into one anyway.
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

I like this answer I think as long as I feel perfectly safe, whole, at-one, and completely loved - that's heaven. The appearances and such aren't as important as that feeling of 'being home' and of course I think we can take steps to make that a reality in our lives here, at least some of the time

yes. the thing we have now is hostility. ruled by those who think the majority of people are horrible. And we have been made to distrust our own nature and the natural world via myths we have been indoctrinated with and still are being.

My idea of heaven would be like earth, only without the bad parts. People would be healthy and happy and love life and care for each other. If anyone got sick mentally or physically, there would be an over abundance of people willing to rush to their aid, with no intention of charging them a medical bill but just because it would be in everyone's desire to see all of creation radiating with health and joy.
All the ugly buildings and fast food restaurants would be torn down and replaced with beautiful architecture and natural food. People would return to living in harmony with nature.
Basically, what I am describing is similar to what the Jehova's Witnesses call "Paradise Earth". Earth in a golden age.
The true celestial heaven is supposedly even more splendid but I'd rather just have it be surprise than try to imagine what its like.

From my point of view life is fundamentally a game filled with surprises, I never want to know what's coming next cause that would spoil the game. When the game is spoiled you start over, like chess. That's what my idea of heaven is too, a game. Not trivial or serious but a sincere game. I dont have any particular visual preferences but if I had to choose it would probably be somewhere around mountains simply because they look nice.
Edit: Let bad and good things happen. "what's discord at one level is harmony at a higher level."

ahhh it is funny you should say that. I feel like that. I will never go to fortune tellers because I want to be surprised. EVEn soap operas on telly, films, dramas. I never want to know beforehand what is gonna happen. I cannot see the point!

A land of never ending forests and grass and trees. Where I can walk around barefoot and take in everything, forever. Taking the time to develop and contemplate the larger meaning behind everything. Where millions of people wander but none talk to me, as I would be content seeing them there too.
Also, in the sky you can see the universal construction plan, where you see which stars are destined for destruction and creation. You can see no space, just a billions planets.
-------------------- I'm sick of all you hypocrites Holding me at bay And I don't need your sympathy To get me through the day Seasons change and so can I Hold on boy, no time to cry Untie these strings, I'm climbing down I won't let them push me away

I hope I didn't come across as some kind of...I don't know...sexist? In the land of the wanderers, no man can be harassed.

We know 3D is better than 2D and we expect 4D to be better than 3D.
But we have to experience 2 & 3D to appreciate 4D.
So I guess the present 4D'ers move on to 5D, whatever that is.
