Heaven is the higher spiritual planes above the physical where amazing love and beauty can be experienced.

A state of bliss. Something I think we can achieve with correct mindfulness. Has nothing to do with an "afterlife".

To me in my understanding of heaven or paradise as it can be called too, it is a state of consiouesness only realized in the moment of full enlightenment, or conummation. It is when the being we truly are, become free from the physical realm and reincarnation ends because all our karma has been repayed. And we enter the paradise created by the God, Buddha or other enlightened teachers. So for a Falun Gong practitioners we would enter Falun paradise. Buddhist enter nirvana, Christian enter paradise created by Jesus( in my understanding),
Physical rules or universal law does not apply in heaven because there is not physical realm there. (Physical in the way humans think of physical anyway)

I think I will miss the smell of the flowers,
and of course the butterflies.
Does my gnosis stretch that far ?
It might be like the land of Nirvana !
We'll soon find out, won't we ?

Heaven is the only safe place when Judgement Day comes.
It is the place promised by God and it looks like a cube.
People who are saved will be there

People whose names are listed on the Book of Life

It is made of transparent gold and precious gems.
In that place there will be no more crying, no more sorrows, everything will be perfect
The side of the cube is as large as Australia

From the Bible but I won't quote it to comply with - "I dont ask for qoutes from the scripture,"

 

[`mud]

Ahh...I love the presentation of that dream...transparent gold cube ?
Where is reality resting ?

I can only give an example.

The joy you feel, when you eat a delicious apple, is heaven.

I have different frames to reply to the OP.

From one, heaven is a place on the astral plane where someone who has lived a positive life experiences joy. The opposite is hell where people who live a negative life on earth experience the consequences of their deeds so they'll learn in their next life.

From another conception, heaven is the opposite of Earth as joy is the opposite of suffering.

Nothing wrong in having this understanding of heaven it's your understanding and nobody can take that away from you

Heaven is finally completing a mission after living on this Earth X number of times, and graduating from there. A graduation.

Nicely put.
Even if there is an 'afterlife', there is no guarantee that heaven will be attained. Why wait?

 

[osgart]

No suffering, only peace, joy, innocence, endless things to live and explore. Harmony, balance, only love and above, perfect relationship, unfailing memory, total impossibility of evil. Glory, Majesty, and rest for the soul. Who knows perhaps perfect knowledge too. Where everone deserves what they gets and it's not a bad thing ever. Not a blind day ever. No issues! No wasteful problems, no diseases!

I can answer it for myself this way: namely, I have't a clue. Nor am I certain there is a heaven.

But one thing I do know for certain: RF isn't it.
