A sequence loop of all the best moments in life.
What we have here and now could be the closest thing to 'heaven' for thousands of light years. Who knows?

Its what in English we would call a spiritual world that would not be of peace or tranquillity , just spirits going on what the human soul did here on Earth.

What would I want my heaven to be like? I mean we hear about the biblical heaven with all the singing and knelling and praying and more singing.
At least that's what I hear from people . There are like 5 passages about heaven in the bible . And the choir is singing, to the one who is and was and will be.To the most high . The alpha and the omega. And some dude is knelling and speaks, and in that heavenly place I saw the throne of god who is and will be. And upon that throne I saw sitting a man and he had 4 faces, one face was the likeness of a lamb and from it's mouth there came a sword. Another face was the likeness of a lion. another was the likeness of a bird.And I heard a voice come from the throne. I your god , titles , titles, command you to sing for me for all eternity as a reward for your good works.
I don't know... I think a real true heaven would allow you to choose. To choose whatever reward you wanted. Personally I would like to come back to earth at a time long after technology. When humanity is back to living in caves, and be reincarnated but have all the knowledge that I have now.
I think that would be fun. And then after I died from impacted bowl from eating to many juju beans I could choose something else.
Imagine an afterlife that for you is the most awesome thing ever.
So what would your idea of a "heaven" be like?

A heaven I would choose would allow me at any moment to choose another.

Heaven? Is that what you got from the bible, clearly you didnt read much of it. Kneeling and praying, really
Your heaven has been dictated to you by hollywood and a few out of context bible verses I assume you probably believe in an eternal hell where the devil sits on a throne and tells you what to do, ala disney cartoons?
Heaven is not a place, its about relationship, its friendship, love, peace and beauty, cities and rivers with no pollution, big fish and plenty of them, with friends and no fear, pain or hurt.

Which of course runs right back to the original question. Here, right now might be an aspect of heaven that offers a number of experiences unavailable to other aspects of heaven. One of those experiences may be the restrictions of time and the illusion of mortality.

So it would be a society with jobs and class and people cutting their grass, but instead of flesh it would be spirits?

I think so.
I mean I woke up on the operating table and , well , words I better keep to myself, but yes, the spiritual world continues where you depart you physical body.
