Your personal "heaven"

[Mac]

Alright, I thought this should be interesting. If heaven existed, what would you want your personal heaven to be? For me, I would live in a log cabin in a forest. There would be two seasons, summer, it would be cold and rain all the time, and winter, it would be EXTREMELY cold and snow all the time. :D

[Susurrus]

The Fiddler's Green with red banners everywhere.

[Rafiq]

hell

[Mac]

I wanted real responses when I mad this thread, not this crap.

[Nox]

My heaven will consist of Juche, Coke and KFC.

[Broletariat]

Life to never end.

Ok ok, if you want my serious answer, my heaven would consist of Communism, Coke and KFC.

[Nox]

Life to never end.

Oh god, that would be hell for me.

Maybe the first million years wouldn't be so bad, but what about the second million, or the third million, or the billion after that?

[Susurrus]

What crap? A communist version of the Fiddler's Green is my idea of heaven. No god, and people having fun all the time. What's wrong with that?

Fuck you, it's my heaven I'll randomly alter physics and shit when I get bored if I please.

[Tablo]

My heaven? Hmmm, I don't know. Stoned all day watching funny tv shows and playing videogames? I'm not sure, but I'm easy to please.

[kitsune]

I wouldn't want any sort of permanent conditions. Sun and sand, ice and snow, a crisp autumn afternoon on a woodland path with blazing colors in the trees. A Polynesian beach, a cabin by a remote mountain lake, a vibrant city, an alien planet with three moons in a purple sky.

It would be like a fully immersive virtual reality environment where anything can be manipulated. Lower the gravity for jumping around. No clipping for walking through walls. Change your hairstyle, eye color, body type, anything, instantly. Have elf ears, wings, a tail, whatever. Invisibility, flying, super speed, all that sort of thing.

Cockaigne!

[Quail]

My personal heaven would have to have links to other people's heaven. Eternity alone would be awful. It would also have to change and have new things to learn and do because eternity is a long time and I would get bored quite easily. I don't even know if I'd want to live forever. Maybe my heaven would have a way of ending my existence.

[Sasha]

enough money that i dont have to work anymore, not enough to get spoiled, an old abandoned industrial complex where i and my friends are allowed to live, play and make art in not hindered by the rest of society

[Zanthorus]

I would be in a fairly large library with only myself in the building, with large glass windows looking onto city streets. In the library are all 120 volumes of the completed Marx-Engels Gesaumtasgabe, plus a selection of classic literature from the likes of Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, Descartes, Spinoza and Hegel in their original languages. In this world I have the ability to read and understand anything in any language put in front of me. I also have no need for sleep or eating. I have dozens of blank notebooks in which to make notes, as well as a computer with internet and access to all the academic pages on the web. All of which are being utilised me to destroy the arguments of idiots on Revleft.

[Johnny Kerosene]

Complete freedom, food being only a pleasure and not a necessity, same goes for beverages, a liver steel and immunity to alcohol poisoning, pot growing all over the fucking place and everyone can just go pick it, with rolling paper dispensers on every street corner, endless fields of pre-shredded dry tobacco, the ability to hold one's breath endlessly as well as pressure resistance, wild orgies all over the place, and whiskey. Whiskey everywhere. And the ability to slow down time and do crazy actiony shit while slowing down time.

It's chit-chat, so get over it. Chit-chat brings the authorizd trolling.

[Blackscare]

I've always thought that Dante's idea about the outer layer of hell before the "circles" start was interesting. I forget the name, but it is essentially a gloomy cavish type place "lacking the light of god" or some shit but otherwise un-hellish where the great pre-Christian minds went.


Assuming that you can still get in there somehow after the whole Jesus thing, I wouldn't mind chilling with Socrates, Nietzsche, and all of the other non-christian/pre-christian philosophers.


Remember, in heaven all of the interesting people are missing.

[JustMovement]

A uranium strip mind. I would be on an elevated platform dressed in a top hat and ornate jacket, and there would be a mass of tired, dirty, toiling miners working ceaselessly. I would be on a loudspeaker bellowing "Work harder! Faster! More, MORE, MORE!"

[ColonelCossack]

loads of soviet fetish stuff including red army choir covered with nutella (including the red army choir). And marx, engels and lenin live in the basement of my real life minecraft house and there's a real copy of ascension that i go on with them but the zombies never kill me. and a cinema. and there's lakes of beef stew. And other stuff that i won't say because i'll be restricted.

[Fulanito de Tal]

Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano.

Not really.

I like Johnny's idea.

[Il Medico]

I didn't put a lot of thought into this at first, its just the first thing that came to mind and my brain just kinda went with it.

My personal heaven would be divided into two regions, a private area and the world at large. My private area where I enjoyed some go old' fashioned alone time would be a large house or mansion with a huge library, a writing desk, concert hall where I could listen to live music and a well stocked wine cellar. It would also have an unlimited supply of good coffee and smokes. (I also wouldn't be asthmatic so I could properly enjoy the smokes) This house would be on a large island with a cool and dry climate and a bunch of other personalized homes my friends and loved ones would live in. This island would be connected, via high speed rail, to every city or place I would ever want to go, all orbiting as islands themselves around my center one. One day I might spend day in Alaska hunting with friends and then go for a walk down the Champs Eyeless with a lover later that night. Basically I would live the gilded, romanticized life I'll never get to enjoy here on Earth, with the added touch of heavenly ease and availability.

[A Revolutionary Tool]

Basically an eternity of chilling around with the people I love. Go out on the river on a boat, find a beach to anchor, start a bonfire and just relax and do a few fun activities. Wake up on the beach the next morning next to the person you love, simple things like this is heaven. I think what matters most is who you're going to be with.

[Jazzratt]

In my heaven there would be nothing immutable - I would be able to dick around with the fundamental laws of reality for shits and giggles, although having to spend eternity there would mean that I certainly wouldn't just automatically know how to do that - I would have to spend millenia just studying how everything worked in the first place with the aid of minds incomprehensibly more advanced than my own. Outside of that I would also like an abundance of mind-influencing substances - from endless vats of subtly different whiskies, beers and wines to plants that, when smoked or infused in boiling water, produce changes in mindset that are undreamed of here. Aside the beings of unfathomable intellect (yet friendly, patient demeanor) the place would be open to anyone I was close with in life and any new friends I may have made on sojourns to other heavens so that I could enjoy their company, drink, take drugs, have sex and share ideas. There would be a near constant soundtrack (with the proviso that I could mute it if so desired) altering to my mood and often containing sounds totally impossible to reproduce in this reality or previously inaudiable to me. Finally I would not always be myself, just as in my dreams, and I would be able to become not just one of the incredible thought-beings but literally anything I wished like some sort of total-immersion roleplaying game.

I'd probably even have wings, a harp and a cloud at some point because fuck it you've got to see how the other lot have it, hey?

Also I am now down because I've dreamed this up and it will never happen; instead I have to work and do tedious bullshit until I die early, alone and disappointed.

[Weezer]

The Hundred Acre Woods.

If not, the Island of Sodor.

[Dzerzhinsky's Ghost]

No chairs, just large lounging pillows and couches and the like. A hookah will always be prepared and at my whim, will taste of varying flavors depending upon my mood. It will alternate between tobacco, cannabis and heavenly plants that lead to heavenly altered states of mind never experinced by mortals. Many heavy chested women, with big pretty eyes will feed me dates, recite poetry and whisper sweet things into my ear and give me counsel in all matters and be my confidants. Food will consist of heavenly meats of beasts never concieved or seen. There will be combat, epic combat with the mates but none will be hurt and we shall return to a great hall, with liquor and heavenly beast meats.

This would be heaven to me, definately.

[thesadmafioso]

I don't actually think I know what would qualify as my own personal heaven. I suppose I'd go with a room that has a nice chair in it to ponder the matter for a while.

I mean, first instinct is to just rattle off some interests of mine which have all coalesced in one location, but where is the fun in that? It would be nauseatingly perfect. The only condition I could certainly lay down is immortality, beyond that I'm as a loss for further detail though.

[Mac]

At some point immortality would be crap, even if you could always change things.

[Blackburn]

Edit: Deleted response.

[thesadmafioso]

That was sort of my intent, actually. At least I could still experience the droll mediocrity of it, as opposed to sensing nothing for the rest of eternity.

[Dzerzhinsky's Ghost]

At some point immortality would be crap, even if you could always change things.

Not really, human conceptions of heaven aside if there truly is a jannah, heaven, etc. then it would it's splendor and pleasures would be beyond human conception. I highly doubt it'd eventually get boring, perhaps human conceptions of it but the genuine article? I don't think so, seems to go against the very idea of a "heaven." But I'm sure if you want excitement you can just ask the Chief if you can go downstairs.

[Fulanito de Tal]

I read in a book on Buddhism that the concept of heaven is a result of people longing for immortality.

[piet11111]

Me being in this world capable of doing whatever the fuck i want including altering physics

[Honggweilo]

if heaven existed, i would go to south park hell

[Obs]

being on the good side of capitalism

[ÑóẊîöʼn]

Heaven... that's a difficult one. For now, I'll just rattle off some ideas about my ideal house.

First, the bedroom:

The bed is an enormous four-poster affair, with a mound of soft pillows from around the world, draped all around in silks, rich fabrics, furs and fine leathers. The carpet has a deep and luxurious pile and a psychedelic pattern, and posters of sexy beautiful people, nature scenes and marvellous machines adorn all four walls. A large south-facing window looks out onto a sunny beach.

The Living Room:

No question what goes in here - big soft leather armchairs and sofas with plenty of cushions, draped in a riot of different coloured throws of all sorts of interesting materials. A comprehensive entertainment system is a must.

The Kitchen/Diner:

Here I will prepare stupendous feasts featuring foods from across the globe in order to entertain my closest friends as well as my numerous fascinating acquaintances. This room opens out into the large garden.

The Garden:

This would be longer than it is wide, with an aesthetic gradient - more modernist and minimal towards the front near the house, but shading into a more unkempt, growth-heavy arrangement as one moves away from the house.

The Workshop:

This is a large shed where I make stuff and arse about with dangerous-but-interesting shit.

[piet11111]

I would also have a massive bit of land where i do off-road driving in 4x4's

[Ele'ill]

My heaven would allow me to do whatever I want whenever. Ya know? I'd hate to leave something out here. I kind of like the feeling of teeth rotting out of my face with Autumn arriving. I think my heaven would involve a restart, rewind and fast forward button in real life and nothing more.

[Eleftherios]

Tons of money, a beach house or a really classy condo overlooking lake michigan in chicago, good friends, and lots of dope

[Ele'ill]

Tons of money

wut

[Obs]

wut
Having lots of money makes your life more enjoyable. Why is that so weird?

[Jazzratt]

Having lots of money makes your life more enjoyable. Why is that so weird? As a view of heaven though it shows a chronic lack of imagination.

[Obs]

shit, i'd love to be on top of capitalism. that just ain't happening, so i might as well push for socialism.

[Jazzratt]

shit, i'd love to be on top of capitalism. that just ain't happening, so i might as well push for socialism. I'm not saying it wouldn't be great to be top of the pile but Heaven is meant to be a place where you spend eternity and I reckon being rich and powerful would get really fucking boring a few centuries in.

[Azula]

There is no heaven, that is reactionary propaganda.

My ideal world is a world where no one is hungry, uneducated, illiterate, dirty or unemployed. Where every city is beautiful and every child gains the best means to excel academically and physically. Where everyone are polite, well-adapted and beautiful, and where everything is a harmony.

That is my heaven.

Well that goes without saying, almost!

For me. An isolated cabin in perpetually snowy woods.

[The Stalinator]

I tried to imagine what heaven would be like once. It was really trippy, some kinda Persian palace gardens with little bowls of mangoes sitting everywhere and fancy posh couches sitting on the clouds. The sky was all blue and starry with little streaks of pinkish and yellowish here and there. Everything was floating on a big ground platform thing and it was like a neverending road into the sky.

Other times I imagine heaven would be like hell, except I wouldn't be being tortured and I would hang out with all of the old idols I had when I was 13 who are all dead now. At first it was just The Rev and George Carlin, but sometimes Seth Putnam hangs out with us too, and usually I see Hunter S. Thompson hiding behind the couch staring at me.

I really need psychiatric help.

She is so fucking high.

[Pioneers_Violin]

Way, way more time to do stuff, meet people, work, play, learn how to dive better and just generally keep busy.
Days would probably have to be about twice as long just for a start.

So much to do and so very little time.

Oh! and I just get to gotta talk with the greats.... starting with Uncle Joe

Nobody gets laid in disney heaven.

Well, I'll just go to the other place then.
Most of the people I'd rather be around are probably there anyways.

It's related to the topic, so here it is:


May You Rot In Heaven.

From my interpretation of the Bible "Heaven" sounds way, way worse than "Hell".

See you at the Bar-b-que! ;)
