lol jiggerj your filled with negativity, (im sorry to point that) but when i read your posts,i see disbelief and negativity .
Leave your worries away, they are poison to the mind. With learning we got clever/intelligent and got filled with questions what if or what if not. Who Cares. Be happy ^^
Ah, heaven! Paradise! What impressions of heaven do you have? What do you think it will be like?

Where there is wealth, there is war. I don't want anything to with money in my next life. Unfortunately, I'm forced to use it in this one.

I don't want to be a slave to survival, locked in a rat race routine. Like in this this life, in the next, I will still have no control over issues of war and inequity. What I want in this life and the next is the freedom to pursue happiness. I want to learn about everything, I want to travel and learn about other people and cultures. If I'm to be reincarnated, I want the freedom that wealth and health can offer to pursue those happy things.

God created us to be passionate to explore to be scientist and doctors, able to study and learn. In heaven we will be able to do all we do now and more. The limits that fear has on humanity will be lifted.
Will we be able to fail? Or, will everything we touch, think, or build be pure gold every time. If pure gold every time, what would be the point? Ever see the Twilight Zone episode where a man dies and finds he can't lose at anything. He wins all the time. He comments that heaven isn't what he thought it would be, and his mentor remarks, "What makes you think you're in heaven?"
if you don't think God has a good plan for us in earth, then you will have a negative view of heaven.

Some how I imagine a trial or something at some point, which is our judgement... in which we experience everything bad we've done to others within this incarnation... More tears!
Wouldn't this happen before entering heaven? That's my take on it anyway.
after you die you will be given the freedom to explore all the wonders and the mysteries of the universe planet by planet travelling at the speed of thought and if that wasnt enough your mind can take you to other dimentions including travelling into the linear past or fulture.
our enemy the Devil is out to propogate fear and is good at his job but the truth is the devil is a lier.
You may innitiate any change imaginable in the past but it will NOT effect the future since when you leave the past you disconnect from it NOT drag it back with you.

If you are giving points for "thinking about heaven" the can I have some please? I agree people just spew out the same old cliche's. white clouds, harps, re-uniting with family, ect. The truth is that these stories break down when you start with the obvious questions.
I believe we all carry heaven with us inside to a degree some more than others but the true potential/ realisation of heaven cannot be experienced while still in the phsyical body. Same with ALL answers in life to science: untill we leave these temporary phsyical bodies we are incapable of wrapping our interlects around the why's and the how's but we must find the truth and cultivate faith in goodness.
Great topic, thanks.

about negativity: its the art of hidden negativity, im not sure if you are aware of it, but some ppl are using negative wordings. like : "look what you have done wrong and never do it again." better is "look what you have done wrong and correct it" or "look what you have done right and continue !" thats the example which comes in my mind 1st. its 1:30 am here and i just woke up to eat a something and to go back to sleep ! ill try to find some more examples if your interested in them.
Now, why are we not equipped to handle death if it is just a part of life?
After this life I believe the physical and all things that cause sin become no more. And thus all of us come together in love. What that means exactly I do not know.
