What Do You Think Heaven Is? Options

What is Heaven?

Do you believe we go somewhere else or when we die, we are just dead.

Have you changed your mind over the years?

Did your upbringing influence your ideas about Heaven or have you always had your own ideas?

Have you or anyone you know seen Heaven, maybe through an OBE or temporary death experience?

Is Heaven just an imaginary place that the church used to use to encourage people to be good?

What do you think?

I was wondering however if you had ever had any outerbody experiences or been to other planes of existance?¿
because this would certainly open your mind to what people normally call heaven in a different way. Imortality here is an impossability (almost). It seems strange to myself that there would be countless souls also on this planet that dont get to go anywhere else.

Actually its something I specialize in. My very experience with alternate planes of existance is why I believe what I currently do. What we percieve as "good" or "bad" or heavenly or hellish are only matters of human perception, I believe. And once we die we loose that human quality, at least in the sense of what we know of from day to day life. Thus the experience of heaven is probably something that requires a level of awareness that most people don't achieve. Thats not to say they are damned, just that heaven and hell are not what we typically think of them to be.
