What do you think Heaven will be like?

Post Reply New Topic

I think it's like a rain forest and we all live in treehouses that have as many rooms as we like. We walk around buck naked, but no one cares (you are given a robe when you first arrive, but once you decide, you can go nude if you wish). It doesn't matter if you're a Christian, and even some atheists have changed and live there. (If you subscribe to the theory of Divine Mercy, there's a belief that God will see us when we die and ask us personally if we accept Him.) We are whatever age we wish to be, but we retain all the knowledge that we obtained while we were alive. There's an endless banquet hall and always room for new arrivals. You can join the angel choir with any instrument you choose.

It's a fade to black, then nothing.

Perfect bliss.

Lots of kneeling

Like gazing into the happy smiling face of your baby.

When I was 18 years old, after suffering extreme trauma after breaking up with my first girl friend, whom i was in love with.

I went into crisis and suffered ASD shutdowns because of it. Catatonic for some days.
Following this trauma, i started to read up on various religion and philosophies. Spent all my time staying in, living at my parents, living a peaceful life.

I believe I attained some type of peace during this period, and one day a few months in, while laying on my bed in my bedroom I had an outer body experience, where i assume I astral projected out of the top of my head (in an anti-clockwise spiral) and found myself floating on the ceiling of my bedroom before the room or reality appeared to dissolve into an infinite space of white light, which was dazzling bright and had nothing to see in any direction.

I experienced this place for a few seconds before becoming aware of how abnormal the experience was, which resulted in me getting scared, and I then immediately felt like i was tugged by an elastic cord and jolted back into my body.

Which resulted me in then opening my eyes and I stood up and rubbed my eyes, in disbelief and confusion as to what had just happened.

After that event, I spent the next few weeks in a very happy state, where i felt completely connected to the universe, and where all of existence felt like it was in the right place, as if everything and everyone was playing their minor part in a massive orchestral symphony that is existence.

I am now 47, and over the years I have searched the religious books to see if I could find any references to such an experience.

Of course, there are a number of references to white light or fires that talk in the bible and the Koran.
Nothing that was exact to my own experience though.

I also searched Buddhist religious texts, and mostly found nothing, until i was looking through a book on Dzogchen Tradition Buddhism, which is one of the Tibetan Traditions.

And bingo, in this book explained some experiences that were the same as what i had experienced.
And apparently what i experienced happens to people who either are extremely gifted Buddhist Yogi's who have learnt to control their mind (which i am definitely not) or people who are experiencing extreme trauma (bingo!! !) , in which case, this kind of thing can happen spontaneously! I guess like a safety net or something!

Apparently, according to this line of Buddhism, what i experienced during this strange experience is what this line of Buddhists consider to be the true nature of reality, and to be able to encounter this place at will is the aim of their take on Buddhism or at least, from what they say.

And considering how peaceful I was during and after this experience, I could very well believe it.
So. based on this particular experience, i believe that this is what heaven will be like.

and if I am right, and i am not saying I am (i mean I am just one ordinary man, i would be lying if i say i know all their is about life and know for sure what i experienced was heaven), but from what i have experienced in life
that is the closest thing i have experienced to heaven, so i am putting my bucks on that one... although, as mentioned before, I am agnostic. How would i know what i experienced was true and right without a doubt, well, i can't say i can.
Knowing how vast and how wide sentient beings have experienced in life. who can I say that what i have experienced is the only way?... how can anyone? unless they are God or something. I really don't know.

But hey... other people are free to their own opinions and faith. Who am I to dictate. Or question others own experiences.

If my experience is a glimpse of heaven then, we are all in for a treat. to live in bliss for eternity outside time
forever! no hate, no discrimination, no form. Just bliss. God or with God. Awesome!

There will be white houses. Little, giant peas that look like Om Nom roam the forests. We will be dressed in our favourite colours. I'll get to see my favourite bands perform each night as they were the first years they became famous.

There will be nothing, because nothing is the most perfect thing.
