[W]here is Heaven?

So sorry, but the question is ill-formed:

Heaven (like hell) is a spiritual condition--that of nearness to God, not a "place!"

Peace,

It is in the love, beauty, art, thought, and family that you have in your mortal life on Earth so don't waste it by contemplating immortality. There isn't.

Unless, of course, technology marches on very quickly.

this is how the bible explains WHERE heaven is

GEN 7 And God made the firmament, and divided the awaters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8And God called the firmament aHeaven. And the evening and the morning were the second bday.

Im sorry, but that reminds me of Shy's religious joke. :/

Why does it matter that people want to be in their religion's "Heaven"?

If heaven is just a state of mind, does that mean that the common notion of a heaven where you'll be with your deceased loved ones, all of the "saved" people is false? Then you'll just be alone in heaven (or maybe with your god)?

jus askin..

If it's not a place, then how can you be near or far from God?

I think its more along the lines of: If heaven is a state of mind, then when you die, well. You die, and the only reason why Heaven exists is to comfort you in the living.

Of course, I could be wrong.

:yes: That would be a simpler way of putting it.

This is my first answer so be kind!

In my opinion, Heaven is in a different reality from what we regard as the "universe". I come to this conclusion as I believe that heaven has more than the 4 dimensions of our own reality, therefore must be outside it.

Personally, I have always liked the idea of Summerland. It is certainly more reasonable than the Abrahamic heaven and sounds more interesting too boot.

That said, I am already in "heaven", so I suppose, all you have to do is find me.

Is your heaven still within the realm of physics? Because if yes, String theory has 11 dimensions. So would you agree that it is possible for humans to find it?

 

[BruceDLimber]

SPIRITUAL nearness or distance, of course!

So, you just sort of know when you are close to god (or not)?
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
Actually, it explains a lot of people's inane answers.
They think they know, but what is it that they actually know?

 

[thedope]

Imagine the mind crystal clear and totally dissociated from bodily sensations.

Well, everything is physics...but I guess it's physics we don't know/can't understand.

There is neither "alone" in Heaven, or "just you and God."

According to the Sages, once heaven is achieved, there is nothing but Satchidananda (Existence-Consciousness-Bliss). In that state is the knowledge that the Soul was never not God.

So you do believe in the existence of other dimensions. You sure you arent a witch? Lol

I would not like being in that state tbh. I like my individuality and I would imagine that eternal bliss would get boring after a while.
