Well a lot of us believe that when we die we either go to Heaven or Hell. But does Heaven really exist and if so then where is it?
Why has no one ever yet found it or is it just a figment of someone's overactive imagination or maybe it's not really a place after all but has more to do with an individual's state of mind or being.

Heaven is a state of being for the soul. it is being in perfect harmony and communion with God and the rest of the blessed.
"Heaven is neither an abstraction not a physical place in the clouds, but a living, personal relationship with the Holy Trinity. It is our meeting with the Father which takes place in the risen Christ through the communion of the Holy Spirit," - Pope john Paul II

Glad you asked. I don't think Heaven is a physical place. It can't be. In order to get "there" you may well have to be dead. If that is the case, the only option is another "state of existence" beyond the material. So how do you get there?
You can either be in sync with the "Creative Force of the Universe", or a negative, destructive "bastar*" who will never serve a useful purpose in the scheme of creation. You either build (positive) or destroy (negative). Take your pick and then decide which is closer to "Heaven".

Heaven does exist. But because it is an eternal place I do not believe we will ever see it or find it with our mortal eyes. IF we could find it why would we need to have faith?
We are told in Matthew 14:2-3
14:2. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
14:3. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
HE said it and I believe it.

It is not a location in the typical 3-space that we as humans perceive. So no, it is not a place in that regard.
It is however a literal place that exists beyond our universe. Even if we were to ever map our entire universe, we wouldn't find Heaven nor Hell. They are both extra-dimensional places.

As far as I'm concerned, Heaven and Hell are a state of mind. I believe that when you die, you're dead. Your soul doesn't pass on to some afterlife in a fictional heaven or a fictional hell.
Wow! All these Bible verses talking about Heaven. I've seen the light. I'm going to give up my atheist ways and ask for forgiveness. Yeah right. Using the Bible to affirm Heaven is like asking a lobbyist to vouch for the honesty of a politician.

I don't know where it is, but yes, I believe it is a real place. It is mentioned in the bible as being a place so glorious, it would be impossible to describe it with human language.
Jesus said, "I go to prepare a place for you, and when I return, I will take you to be with me". For each believer, Jesus is preparing a special place in heaven.

well Heaven is an actual place but we don't really know where it is or if it is in another dimension or not.. The New Jerusalem will come from Heaven to earth eventually.
The whole of creation is huge so it could be another planet, but we aren't really told exactly..

Revelation 21:1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
5He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!"
Heaven will be here on the new earth

Earth is a copy of Planet Heaven.
They are similar but Heaven is alot more "Spiritual".
Heaven is Straight Up North of Earth.
