What Kind of Place Is the Heaven Prepared by God?

I’ve always been captivated by the cosmos. My bookshelf is lined with shimmering auroras, celestial photographs, essays penned by astronomers, and investigative reports on the latest breakthroughs in astrophysics. As a child, my fascination with the stars once inspired me to dream of becoming an astronomer. But as I delved deeper into the field, I realized that astronomers spend far less time stargazing than I had imagined. True observation happens only under optimal conditions—clear skies, finely tuned telescopes, and scheduled time slots. Most of their work is spent analyzing vast streams of data.

Ironically, the more we study the universe, the more elusive its answers seem. Scientific reports are filled with tentative phrases like “It is projected that . . . ,” “It may be . . . ,” or “It has yet to be determined.” Even gravitational waves, which Einstein predicted a century ago, were confirmed only recently. And still, the mysteries stretch on. The deeper I explore, the greater my thirst for understanding becomes.

However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him. 1 Co 2:9

I’m often deeply moved when I hear Heavenly Mother speak of heaven. Sometimes, there’s a quiet yearning in Her voice—a gentle sorrow, as if She longs to express a beauty that language cannot fully contain. The more I sense that yearning, the more my own longing deepens.

What will heaven look like when seen through fully opened spiritual eyes?
