Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, in my belief... heaven is the type of society that Karl Marx envisioned with the only difference being... people don't die, people have much more than they need, there is a God, and we'll never get tired or feel sadness.

I personally think it's like the feeling I had when I was 5 years old, and I just laid out in the sun watching the clouds. I could do that for an eternity... I could still do it now.

Hey, Christ said, "like a child."

Lol... I don't care how mature people think they are, if you're not like a child, you won't enjoy heaven. cool

Heaven is described only as a paradise, wiht not much detail about whats actualy in it. Heaven inmy personal opinoin, is an existence with and along side God, forever in His light and never away from Him. Now, the structure of Heaven? I personly feel Heaven is a gregorian paradise, much like the Garden of Eden was descirbed in Genises. Always a perfect tolerable temperature, always abundent in food, always abundent in water or various other drinks. A perfect existence to spend time untill God's reighn on earth and then the eventual burning of earth to make way for the new absolute perfect creation.

Perhaps I shoudl rephraze the question now. If heaven were to have a government, what woudl it be. The most likely would be a form of communism when you think about it.

And I have to agree with I.Am. Heaven is too awesome to fully and completly explain if it does exist. My personal description was vauge and those are the most vivid thoughts my imagination could come up with.

I must disagree. razz Communism glorifies labor and requires a working class. Everyone likes to think of communism as the "share everything equally" government, which is all nice and happy and fluffy and yay! BUT there has to be "something" to share and you don't get that "something" without the working class.

Most people don't mind their jobs. But they don't LOOOOOOOOVE them so much that it's their heaven on earth.

The more I thought about it, the more I came to the conclusion that Heaven (in the judeo-christian sense) is an a Monarchy (It has a King!)...but the monarch permits a state of anarchy to exist. razz

But say you're not monotheistic...fine. Take the monarch out of the picture. It's still anarchy.

IF everything is just there for people to freely take without doing any labor, without any sacrifice (In the earthly existence, this action would be called stealing more often than not.)...to do whatever you want...then that seems more like an anarchy to me. Even if it's in line with everyone else (and with the Divine)...it's still your desire.

I just picture heaven as whiteness. From here, we can choose to interact with the world, though in an ethereal form. Which would explain ghosts and whatnot.
