The experience of merging with the light of God is like having your body explode in a pleasant way and becoming a million different atoms. Each atom can think its own thoughts and have its own feelings. You feel all at once what it feels like to be everything and everybody.

What people call "heaven" is really our true home and destination. It is where we go for "recess" or to be rewarded by assessing our progress as a soul, evaluating our lives, and to remember all truths, including our real identity. We stay there for however long best serves our development.

Heaven is not a place of rest because no one there gets tired. It's more like a new lease on life.

Heaven is a place of imagination. Heaven is exactly what our imagination needs it to be.
In heaven, where all people really love each other, there are no inhibitions, or need for them. Everyone does exactly as they please; which works out well because only the best in each person survives, and good is all anyone ever wants to do. This allows a freedom and happiness that people on earth can't imagine.

People don't go to heaven because of their good deeds, or because they believe this or that, but because they fit in and belong. It's what you are that counts.
Each soul has a "job" to do, a position to fill in the greater scheme of things. All souls evolve.

Souls can choose to remain in heaven and operate on a particular level for eternity if they desire.

After death, each soul has to rise as best it can through a hierarchy of heavens and face the increasingly difficult challenges posed by the guardian angels of each level of heaven.

Things in heaven don't age, don't get dirty, don't wear out, and don't get tired. Everything is kept pure by God.

Our deceased pets appear in heaven the way we remember them, only younger and more vital. We can communicate with them telepathically. They also have dwelling places of their own

Sounds very much like Gordon Phinn describes the afterlife in "Eternity...". 

Wish I were there, sounds nice. 

On the other hand, many of them "there" seem anxious to get back "here", so the grass is always greener..?

I like the idea of a heaven in the afterlife, but really don't like having to die to get there

Have you ever visited there OBE?  Of course, maybe we do go there in our dreams sometimes. 

What about the not-so-nice afterlife that some not-so-nice people make for themselves?

Alen.where are you getting all this infermation?

Hi George,

I got the information from the following sources

1)      My mother who had a near death experience while delivering my younger brother Roger
2)      My own near death experience
3)      Research into various Near death experiences across the spectrum of near death event
4)      An innate knowledge of what heaven must be like, if it is not the way I described it would not be heaven dear George would it?
5)      The heaven described by me in this thread is just one realm in countless others in the afterlife, Bruce Moen calls them discs

Blessings and Light

Alan
