Heaven,real or not.....?
Heaven is a fairy tale invented by human imagination. And each person's fairy tale is different.
We imagine that we have "souls," fabricate the concept of "eternal life" and then fantasize a place called "heaven," complete with streets of gold, calorie-free foods, frolicking virgins and whatever else we can come up with. Christians imagine it so vividly and repeat the fantasy so often that they actually believe it to be reality.
How bizarre can the fantasies get? Fly to Cairo and take a look at the Great Pyramid. There is the pyramid itself -- still one of the largest man-made objects on earth. In addition there is the whole mummification process, the disassembled boats, the sacred artwork and so on. All of this was designed to help the pharaoh reach the afterlife. We look at it now and we all know, with absolute certainty, that it was a complete and total waste of time. The Egyptian notion of the afterlife was a fantasy.
The Christian notion of the afterlife is a fantasy in exactly the same way. Heaven is completely imaginary, just like God.

Any state of being where you still feel you have a body is an illusion.
The only reality is being one with the eternal mind of God; that is the true Heaven, not a place but a state of Intelligence, Existence, and Bliss.
So yes, of course there is a place between lives where you rest, where things are as you need them to be and the stress of Earth life is gone away.
But you are on a long path to perfection, and should not feel that these minor Heavens are the goal for you.
For someone who does not accept the concept of the Divine, words like this are like perfume in the wind, interesting, but gone too soon.
Just remember that one time someone said this to you.

Well, doesn't it surprise you that most of the ancient people of old believed in the supernatural. I believe they saw things we didn't get to see and confirmed that there was more to the "end" of the life process than only death. Do you believe in the supernatural, or only in the natural? Did you know that life itself is not natural, but supernatural?
If you have not believed God, you have only believed someone else, even a multitude of people. But if right and wrong really matter, then doesn't God truly exist? He is not a being of our own making, but He has revealed Himself in many was to our ancestors. Will you trust in God's word and be a child of God, who loves what is right and stands for what is true, or should you believe the many theories of men who can hardly justify the existence of goodness and truth? You decide.
