- That heaven is EXACTLY like this Cocteau Twins song: Frou-Frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires
- Rupaul is there and tells me I have to lip sync for my life, and I look fabulous!
- Like Hazel's Death in Watership Down, you get to go to another earth. much like the one you've just passed through but a branch of other paths you might have taken...in the multi-verse.
- right when you die you get to do a good deed for a relative, like bring them a piece of luck or remove something bad
- you initially enter into a james-turrell-like light exhibit
- we learn that we have been living in a computer generated alternate reality world and when we die we are simply waking from that world into "the real one". we discover that we had created the life we just led and when we wake up from it, we get to pick and design another.
- like in Breakfast of Champions, the narrator or god would say, "I have broken your mind to pieces. I want to make it whole. I want you to feel a wholeness and harmony such as I have never allowed you to feel before."
- rod serling's twilight zone voice plays describing my tiny life
- you get to work at pet heaven and hang out with cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs, etc...and spend time with all the animals you had cared for that passed away (and they speak english)
- you are asked what we want to do next, which galaxy, what type of creature we want to be, with no limits to our imagination
- you get to fly around the earth and watch people in their homes and travel wherever you want for as long as you want, and see a heck of a lot of concerts front row
- you get to sit in clouds with your pals and have dinner parties and play board-games and make art projects, as Neutral Milk Hotel puts it, "And when we meet on a cloud I'll be laughing out loud I'll be laughing with everyone I see Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all."
- you are assigned some sort of job or task on behalf of the universe and you love your new job
- when you arrive, your meter measuring how much you loved and gave of yourself during your life is checked and determines whether you have to go back
- my 1970s easy listening mix would fill heaven's jukebox
- you get to look at the book of truth filled with all of the answers to the questions you've been wondering about
- you can eat endlessly
- you can time travel
- there's a loving forgiving being on the other side who has a great plan for everything
- you can watch any segment of your past life and jump back into it whenever you want for fun
- you are born onto another planet in another galaxy

- god would sit me down and go through each one of my disputes and declare who was right and who was wrong. for example, adam said I always used the thinner pillow and I claim that I didn't. god, which pillow did I always use?
- "heaven is the whole of the heart, and heaven don't tear you apart" --idea borrowed from the psychedelic furs
- we learn that there was absolutely no suffering for any living being on earth. that moments before any suffering, god removes your soul and takes you to heaven (unless you opt to live through it)
- you get to find out where all the different choices you could have made would have taken you (or you get to go live out those different scenarios)...and you learn what talents were hiding in you that you didn't tap into
