A place suggests a physical location. Where would you suggest heaven be located? Is God there but not somewhere else?

I was suggesting that it could be right in front of us, but imperceivable. Such might be the case for us as compared to a 2-dimensional man "living" on a plane. Carrying out the idea, God could be (is) all around us, but not perceivable physically.

Again, this is all speculation and attempts to work out the intellect of our faith - called theology. Rightly, we really don't know what the after-life will be like. Perhaps we are quibbling over an undefinable thing.

I agree completely. It's just a fun mental exercise. I like it because it is so way over my head. :)

There is probably more truth to that than you think. From what I have read (and my Eastern friends can verify this) about the Transfiguration, the Greek implies that Moses and Elijah were already there, but made visible - not that they were called away from somewhere else. The letter to the Hebrews also makes that implication when it says we are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses.

So be careful. You are being watched!
