Yes. Yes. No! You need salvation to get into heaven to begin with.

"Can one realize God?" What does this mean? There is no God so he/she cannot be "realized"
Does salvation exist? Are you talking about religious salvation or salvation here on earth without reference to religion? People can save themselves by leading good lives and doing good deeds -- they don't need reference to a god or a religion.
Is it different from going to heaven? There is no heaven. It is a myth dreamed up thousands of years ago to make life on earth bearable for people leading miserable lives, and to keep people's behavior in line.

i may be misunderstanding your question but i'll try to answer you.
one can realize that God is real and active in their lives. i believe that salvation exists in simply believing that Christ loved you enough to take on the sins of this world and pay a price that we could not. Salvation frees us from the debt of sin so that we can have a spiritually free close relationship with Him and God the Father.
going to Heaven is a bonus or by-product of choosing salvation in the Lord.
Not trying to be a Bible beater, i just wanted to share my faith as it has been meaningful in my life.

Can one realize God? Hold your breath for a moment and then breathe - you will realize God. You have life because God breathed in you.
Does salvation exist ? Yes, Jesus Christ, came died and rose again to redeem us.
Is it different from going to heaven? You can live a life worth living in Heaven by practicising it on earth.

from my viewpoint, salvation means spiritual awakening, the awakening of consciousness. Realizing God means feeling the presence of Spirit. Heaven is a relative term to me. This world can be heaven when you're in a state of grace. I don't mean permanently, I mean at those moments when you are. I also believe there is a higher level of reality which could be called heaven, one that we can't see and can't access as long as we are in our physical bodies. Although it seems there is a portal when we have a lucid dream, when we awaken within a realistic dream and know we are dreaming.

Yes, and once you have Jesus your life will change, and He will also love you! Read the book of Romans in the bible, and also the book of John.
Salvation through Jesus Christ gets you to heaven. Just believe and trust in Him. If you have any more questions you can email me.

Can one realize God - yes.
Does salvation exist? - only from the world (liberation)
Is it different from going to heaven? - heaven is not what you think it is...for there is no going to heaven. Heaven is here and now.

No. No. No.
But you can realise the reality by reading some factual textbooks and you'll feel more amazing than imaginary heaven.
As they say, Truth is stranger than fiction.

The answer to your question is yes. A better question would be, "When will we realize God?"
It is ONLY a matter of when.
