There is not a heaven anywhere except inside the being.
The Hebrew word for 'GOD' is Elohim, which is comprised of three elements:
el - towardness, bestowing (image)
ha - shared conduit
im - sea, receiving (likeness)
and as such Elohim produce Adam and Eve in the image and likeness of Elohim.
The kingdom of heaven is inside - when Adam and Eve (ie. any two beings) restore the Edenic state within themselves, they manifest whatever they wish to live/experience (as their own "heaven") here in the manifest world because they are 'knowing' of good and evil (ie. like gods).
This is precisely what religion keeps people away from: being happy with someone they can't get enough of, because religion would serve 0 purpose in this case. Therefor idols such as Jesus/Muhammad exist who are taken as models for not only the idol worshipers themselves, but *forced* onto others who do not "believe" them to be the greatest models for humanity.
Therefor, if one has "died", one has already missed it. I'm sorry to the "believers" out there, but "belief" is not a virtue - it is the very thing required by "Satan" to keep people bound to the planet (ie. incarnation).
If Satan requires "belief"
in order that
"believers" "believe"
SATAN is GOD
(EVIL is GOOD),
and if Satan requires "belief"
in order that
"believers" "believe" 'BELIEF'
is a virtue,
then it necessarily follows that
'BELIEF' is NOT a VIRTUE
over KNOWING
who|what|where|why|when|how
*NOT* not "believe".
In the knowing that, at best,
one can only "BELIEVE" to 'know'
GOOD and EVIL, one never "believes"
to 'know' it - therefor one is never
mistaking one for the other.
Therefor in the knowing of
who|what|where|why|when|how
*NOT* not "believe"
the same is the ever-yielding fruit
of the Tree of Knowledge (of good and evil)
AND
of the Tree of Life.
So making graven images in/as heaven are a kind of opium for those who suffer what is here on the planet (ie. themselves).
