spirit realm

[natasha levchenko]

if someone asked you what heaven is like,what would you answer?)

 

[David1967]

No one knows as no one has been there and returned. But I can tell you how I hope it is. I am a nature lover, so I hope it is a place of clean flowing rivers, ancient forests and mountains filled with a wonderful array of life. (hopefully not a walled city with streets of gold. Boring.) And also I hope its a place where myself and family and friends never grow old sick or die. Harmony and happiness. That would be some great place.

Your dream of heaven look like heaven in Islam.
Allah will say, "This is the Day when the truthful will benefit from their truthfulness." For them are gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever, Allah being pleased with them, and they with Him. That is the great attainment. 5:119

I'd probably ask them what they mean since every other religion has their definition of the afterlife whatever state or condition we live in and/or where.

My answer is that after death, the vast majority of people review the life they just lived. Those who have lived positive lives naturally feel joy as they review that life and that is the experience of heaven. Those who feel pain about the live they lived experience that pain in the hell state. In other words, the intensity of the emotions are magnified both positive and negative.

Once the review is fully complete and the soul is ready, it takes another body to continue the journey onward.

Well brother, that is where I want to be.

Who judges what is positive and what is painful? What will Hitler feel? He believed he was doing a good service killing all the Jews.

Now there's a post worthy of a whole new thread.

My answer is that one's higher self, that which gains experiences through countless lives and is connected to God's Truth, is the judge. The criteria are the essence of every religion and the best ethics of atheists.

"Look around you."

 

[David1967]

"Look around you."

Now that would be sad.

Well, that is a matter of persepctive I suppose. I am not, personally, impressed by most people's attempts to "improve" on the world by imagining one with more gold on the streets and a divine emperor on the throne. The world is beautiful, and it was given to us as a gift, not a treaty or a bribe.

I do believe in an afterlife, but your post is beautifully expressed.

I would say we all have our own path after death, and a journey to breach whatever realm we find. I would say mine would be endless forest and mountain ranges with many rivers lakes waterfalls and hot springs, a nice and cool ocean breeze through the air, it is always between night and day, dark but not dark enough so you can still see, and the voices of the ancients can be heard singing from time to time. Animals like Wolves and Deer would roam freely and the souls of this realm would live off the land. Also it'd be medieval themed, with duels and large feasts.

A plane of existence where love, peace and beauty rules and people interact and grow towards even higher spiritual levels.

thanks for your opinion)
Iam a nature lover too) I grow different plants and vegetables in my garden.I even sleep in the open air in summer!))) but I would disagree with you
I suppose,we can learn from Jesus because he said:"I am from the realms above"/so Jesus is an eyewitness.he never described it as a place you are describing. the things you are describing God wants people to have on earth in the future)

I agree too many religions it is hard to understand which one is the true. but I think the truth is in God's word.

 

[natasha levchenko]

"Look around you."

you mean,the same world?

 

[Unveiled Artist]

The challenge is trying to get others to see it as The truth. How do we do that individually when Truth isnt a matter of opinion, belief, or faith?

Why, is there another?
