Some people see heaven as pearly gates and staircases that go out into the unseen. We all have our own renditions. I saw a movie with Robin Williams called "What Dreams May Come". Its an awesome movie about soul mates and heaven and hell. They suggested heaven is what you make it in your own mind's eye. What does heaven look like to you?

First you have ask if people believe in a heavenly concept. Several religions contain such a concept while many do not conform to the typical christian concept. Beyond that, references to heaven in the new testament proclaim that it is beyond the imagination, that mere humans cannot begin to conceive of its features or wonders. Generally speaking most religious concepts of the after-life center on a continuance of the earthly life, which is why burials often include items such as money, weapons, plates and goblets so the deceased will have the basics to begin life in the beyond.
Personally, I think heaven looks a lot where I live! - snow capped mountains, covered in thick forests, that rise up from a crystal blue lake and touch the sky!

I think that those that don't believe in a heavenly concept, will skip this discussion all together, but I agree that it may be an idea way beyond our grasp. I've seen what your heaven looks like and its certainly spiritual.

I think heaven is whatever you want it to be. If you loved playing poker in real life, maybe it's a huge casino where you can play poker all the time, or a Karoke bar where you can sing, or a place where bands meet, who knows, what ever it is, I'm sure it's for everyone.

I don't really have a clear cut picture of what heaven is like. It will be a place with no pain and no sadness, every one will be happy and there will be animals there, all our human and animal friends, it will not be overcrowded because their will always be the people we know and loved in our sphere, and that is the same for everyone else as well.

Dear Friend there is NO heaven or hell. All the heaven and hell are here. In this earth. If you think that you are living in heaven, it is heaven. After our breathing is stopped, there is nothing. It would be deep sleep forever. So start thinking, You are in the heaven and enjoying each moment. You will feel more relaxed and comfortable. Breaking our head for the past is useless because the past is past and it cannot be changed. Thinking of future is also not that much useful. Because we can think or day dream a lot about future. But it is not going to happen as thought or dreamed. Future will come according to its way. Only thing we can do is BE IN THE PRESENT. THIS MOMENT. There lays the joy, happy and enjoyment everything. So be in the present and start enjoying your God gifted life.

Have you ever seen the big poofy clouds in the sky and the suns rays are shining through it? This is what heaven looks like to me. But maybe the reason I see it this way is because I used to watch a lot of Highway to Heaven with Michael Landon when I was younger. LOL

He always looks for us and he wants from us love,good qualities what he has all qualities he has if we have that qualities he will turn for us and he wants those things from us and so most of the people don't have those things but it won't be like that and i hope in the future days everyone will follow his path and implement those things in to our personal life.
