heaven or whatever your belief

My heaven would have to include my family. Not my ex husband though. It would be nice like @SillyOldBear said to eat and not gain weight, I have a sweet tooth and shouldn't because I'm diabetic.

I'd need sleep. I once bought a pj that said ''Sleep solves everything''
Maybe not everything but a good long sleep makes the next day better and our brains are functioning better. I don't like pain so no pain. I'd love to see more people that I loved here on earth in heaven.

I will admit that getting opiods 5 years ago made a big difference, I had a shoulder that felt like it was torn, I had to learn to sleep on my back, I couldn't get it up to elbow level. So yes I imagine heaven without pain.

I miss my uncles and aunts so I'd need to have them there, and my grandparents. I love coffee too much so my favourite I make at home would be nice, it's flavoured with hazelnut or vanilla. I would like to meet some of the kind people that I felt close to through many messages that I cared for on the internet forums who struggle like me. I'd love to smell the freshness of spring, lilacs, the first cut of grass, the smell of hay, and see a large harvest moon.

Nice catch, KM. Because I like Twilight Zone too, so I know the specific episode to which you refer. Nice catch.

Definitely, that's 100% true.

I could write a whole essay on this, but in short I would argue that our perception of time is a convenient fiction. We think that time is a linear progression of happenings, but this makes less and less sense the more closely we examine it. Our thinking mechanisms are optimized for escaping predators and hunting large animals, not for comprehending the truth of life, the universe, and everything.

In heaven, my mind will be healed...........................................

I love that! I think that is ultimately my heaven too. To not live in so much fear, doubt and uncertainty. To have my mind just be completely “free” without worries of any kind.

My heaven would also be surrounded by only truly loving, kind, caring and accepting people. People who loved to ponder the mysteries of life, death and the universe in general. Who loved nothing more than to talk for hours on end about theories about all of it, enjoying doing the talking equally as much as hearing the other person’s interesting and thoughtful theories about it all.

It would also have lots of nature - beautiful, enchanted, magical trees, plants, flowers, adorable animals (especially cats, lots of cats!) and the most comfortable fluffy cloud couches, chairs and beds. Everything there would be about extreme comfort, safety, security and peaceful, harmonious energy. It would truly be a perfect, utopian paradise, and everyone would be full of the deepest, most blissful happiness imaginable. Wow, I sure wish there was a real place like that in this world. I hope there will be one day

Thank you for posting this topic @1964dodge it has been a true joy imagining all of these things Oh, and yes, I wholeheartedly agree, heaven would need LOTS of beautiful, colorful, vibrant, hopeful and lively art

But why did you choose the 8th planet? Do you mean the zodiac?
In my case, I would choose Saturn,that planet that has a Ring around it. Because I remember a science fiction short story from the '60s where there was an amusement park on Saturn. The main attraction was a Merry-Go-Round that ran around the entire circumference of the Ring so that one complete ride would be a complete orbit around the entire planet!

i learned it was my "birth plannet" after i learned how different and odd that planet is. It truly is an amazing planet.

Sleep is very healing let your self relax and enjoy it. Eat well and be kind to yourself we care
