After dealing with all the bullshit I've dealt with for the first 60 years of my life, I'd say that oblivion is a perfectly acceptable conception of heaven.

is it better to rule in hell, then serve in heaven?

So, does anyone really want to exist for eternity? If yes, why does an eternal existence seem preferrable to non-existence or nothingness? | Fortunately, my conception of heaven and physical universe is that they are different yet occupy the same place/time and that it is us that changes form when we choose to. If you get tired of heaven you can always reincarnate back to earth or even possibly to another planet of beings that is able to accomodate the level of your souls evolution.
And yes, I will exist for eternity (and it is my personal belief that the rest of you will as well) and find it exciting just for the fact that you have all of these options available to you. I personally feel that my souls progression is at a massive evolutionary upswing in this lifetime and I am cultivating my sixth sense, creative power etc. It feels great to exist!
In this scenario, eternal existence seems much more preferable and exciting to that of nothingness and non-existence. Non existence would be like sleeping and not dreaming. So Boring! | |

Perhaps, if you'd devote enough time to being clear about your meaning, I'd have a basis for either agreeing with you or posting a counter-point.
