Well, as I believe in re-incarnation, I also believe we all go to a heaven-like place between life-times. In Esoteric lore it is sometimes referred to as Devachan. This is where all our positive experiences are 'uploaded' to our higher-self and we decide what challenges we should face in our next life. This, however isn't really heaven, because that comes when we are ready to ascend to the next level of spiritual evolution, when we no longer require physical bodies, which of course occurs at the end of our last physical incarnation.
So what do we have to do to get there? Well, it is my opinion that we have but to Always Learn, Grow And Evolve, draw the positive from every situation and above all keep an open mind because the truth is not in one pixel, but the whole image.

If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)

Acts 2:21: "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
John 3:16: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Jesus is the only way, He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Matthew 7:15-21
15-20"Be wary of false preachers who smile a lot, dripping with practiced sincerity. Chances are they are out to rip you off some way or other. Don't be impressed with charisma; look for character. Who preachers are is the main thing, not what they say. A genuine leader will never exploit your emotions or your pocketbook. These diseased trees with their bad apples are going to be chopped down and burned.
21-23"Knowing the correct password—saying 'Master, Master,' for instance— isn't going to get you anywhere with me. What is required is serious obedience—doing what my Father wills. I can see it now—at the Final Judgment thousands strutting up to me and saying, 'Master, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our God-sponsored projects had everyone talking.' And do you know what I am going to say? 'You missed the boat. All you did was use me to make yourselves important. You don't impress me one bit. You're out of here.'

I prayed directly to God, Please send me a teacher. he sent me a Saint; Swami Muktananda Paramahamsa. A siddha yoga guru(teacher). Jesus was a siddha yoga guru, though he was probably called an essene. I have heard that there are as many paths to God as there are people. I don't believe anyone except Christed saints would know how many ways to a closer awareness of God. I recommend you pray as above, for you need the blessings of a Christed Saint with the power to give shaktipat. (baptize in spirit). Your guru will teach you all you need to know, Guiding and protecting you along your path. Approach your guru with respect and gratitude. listen to the guru with rapt attension. One such guru is: Swami chidvilasananda, she is a christed Saint. find her at; syda.org/theguru Love whistle britches

To accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. The Bible says that Jesus is the way. Deeds are important but we get saved only by the mercy and grace of God. : )

I can't say it any better than God says
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whosoever beleives in him shall not perish but have eternal life," (John 3:16)

My opionon is that a God exists but no religion has got it right yet. I think anyone gets into heaven unless they have killed someone.
