Isn't this a fairly mundane representation of what it would be like? Wouldnt it be an abstract fantasy land where you feel bliss on endless reams of morphing, undreamt of dimensions?
Also, I'm a bit confused. It seems like the Islamic heaven has every devout male getting 72 virgins for personal use. What does a woman get?

Not to mention that everyone is supposedly age 30 in Sylvia's version of heaven. Don't forget the anti-wrinkle part. This must be why her books sell so well: She takes advantage of the supremely gullible.

Sounds like Islamic heaven is full of perverts. If they are virgins I guess they stay virgins because it doesn't say they can do anything with them. I guess there's a more pure heaven for women.
Christian heaven everyone has their own house because Jesus says " In my father's house there are many mansions" This could mean in heaven which is" God's house" there are many houses so everyone gets there own house but there is no marriage even though all loved ones know each other.
You see our God is supernatural and it's hard to understand something far greater then ourselves. But it seems the the Christian Heaven is more pure then the the Islamic heaven. There's no sex orientation in the Christian Heaven yet everyone is unbelievably happy. This is not from Browne it's from the bible.

It is similar in that it describes something desirably incomparable reward. It is like telling a child candyland, or the Viking eternal war, where injuries are healed and fighting can begin anew.
Incidentally, there is no Qur'an verse where 72 virgins describe heaven.
Heaven is one of those things that is unknown within the realm of unknowns. We are in the material realm and collectively know very little of it.
To make matters more interesting, Most ofte material realm is empty space.
Our Duty is to make our existence on earth or the material realm, as we perceive Heaven. For some that is misery,for others Peace. We share that which we have in abundance.

Heaven is entirely spiritual. It does not need houses.

Browne has been proven wrong so many times I'm surprised she still has a following.

it's true to her because thats what she believes. her brain tells her what she wants to here. she may have a better connection to the spiritual world, but i still use common sense.
