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.

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

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.

5D would be us (An entity) in a state of no space and time, meaning we would be one hundred percent smarter and more aware. Instantly knowing.

For me, heaven on Earth would be being filthy rich, happy, healthy, and loved. Not only that, but being able to do what you love every single day (or, realistically speaking, on the regular). I'd be a pop punker, playing rhythm guitar, singing, and touring the whole world. My band and I would have millions of fans and I'd get to make those people happy, which, in turn, would make me happy and fulfilled.
If there's a hereafter, then I'd want to exist in a heaven that's like a lucid dream only permanent where there'll be like no one pressuring you to do anything you don't want. You'd have complete freedom to do anything you want: fly, explore the universe and Earth, hang with celebrities, make love, maybe even communicate with other beings about life and what it's all about. And there'll be no serious stress or suffering, no cutthroat competition for resources. It'll be a calm, peaceful place to exist and just have fun doing what you want.

Good question. I think I'd be happy and fulfilled just by having a close group of friends who share a lot of my interests, hobbies, and beliefs. Having the adoration of millions of fans would be a happy bonus.

Well think about it now, being filthy rich, you could more easily create a heaven for yourself and loved ones. Large amounts of money can provide opportunities and experiences you might otherwise never have. Imagine all you would do now or in the future if money wasn't an issue.

Many people make excuses in order to not follow their heart and live the life they want.
It's common for many to postpone happiness until some imagined future . . .
"If only" my life was different, I could really live life to the fullest
If only I didn't have a shitty job
If only I had a wonderful partner
If only I made more money
If only I didn't have this ailment
If only I could lose weight
If only my ex would come back to me
If only I had more friends

Probably something along the lines of acid+MDMA 24/7 with occasional benzos thrown in for variety, and no pain ever. Also a good connection to the internet, can't do without that.
