Some may see the Realm of Spirit as Heaven, rightfully so.

"Death is peace. Leaving your body is the single most freeing and uplifting event in One's life."
How do you know?

Just like what ever came before the universe, what comes after remains to be seen.
(John 4:48 KJV)
Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

Heaven what one wants it to be, Hell, is what one doesnt want it be. Everyone wants to visit Mexico, but no one ever wants to move there.
From what I recall, some Christians think that when Jesus was crucified, it opened the door for souls to Heaven. There is no mention of a "Heaven" of in the O.T, and only a realm of the dead much akin to Hades(the Realm, not the God) type deal.
When I look at the O.T, I tend to look at it like Man vs Nature, where God is pretty much nature in general. As for the N.T, Man vs Man( friends, brothers, father...maybe themselves) maybe?
The Twlight Zone had a good episode about a mobster who died an thought he ended up in Heaven by being in a Casino. He kept winning, the girls laughed at everything he said, and other things. After a while, he realized he couldn't leave, and realized why everyone was laughing.

"It's a much safer route physically (and more importantly spiritually) to ask for a slice of Heaven."
The 'self' can never attain heaven because the 'self' is an illussion of our minds eye. Because mind will not accept destruction of that 'self' the truth of the scriptures have been written to only those with the ears to hear the truth. That the Father is all that exist. He made us in his image by splitting his eye trillions and trillions of times into each of our I AM. So great is his power.
Matthew 6:22....The light of the body is the eye: if. therefore thine eye be single, thy. whole body shall be full of light.
So accepting self, you deny Father, and vice versa.

I ask, knowing what you know of God, and Love, and Light, and Life, could you think of a place more deserving of this title of "Kingdom of Hell?"

Or visitors from other worlds, now trapped in an earth-reincarnation cycle.
Wheresoever we hail from, wether it be from heavenly realms or from the dust of the earth, or from stars beyond, in this Day we are all brothers and sisters on this earth, our Home.
We do well to notice that the powerful few do not have our well-being as interest.
While we attempt to see some light and crawl our way out ever slowly, the elite sit atop their loft basking in the light looking down on us.
I am also a believer that suicide is not a way to the end. Though it is their choice, shortcuts can be misleading, and end-up costing you more.
