Is Heaven gonna be one entire place or is Heaven gonna be divided into many parts?

I would LOVE to think of Heaven as one entire place for everyone and for everyone to be one big loving and happy family while we're all in Heaven, after all aren't we supposed to be God's children?

From what I've read, yes and no.

There is one Heaven, but different levels depending on how far advanced a soul is. But a soul on one level can visit other levels.

I agree with Fleet, however, as I understand it, the higher developed souls can visit the lower heavens but the lower developed souls cannot go to the higher heavens. In that way, the higher developed souls can teach the lower ones until all souls are either in the natural love heavens or the Divine Love heavens (Celestial heaven). When all created souls are in their heaven, hell will close for all eternity.

Let's hope it's one entire place. For some reason, the image of different neighborhoods in Heaven doesn't sound especially heavenly.

Until everyone is in the same soul condition, it will be that way. I understand that catholics will be with catholics, baptists with baptists, etc. Just think of the law of attraction where like attracts like.

Yeah, I know what you mean. A rundown part of heaven on the wrong side of the tracks with cars up on blocks, shabby houses and a high crime rate wouldn't exactly seem blissful, especially if it's going to be that way for eternity.

I have a feeling that athiests won't be with any religious people.

Heaven isn't what people think. It's a place as well as a condition. The condition of your soul determines the place in heaven. If you truely do good, don't bother people and let others lead their own lives, you most likely will be in the first, second or third heaven. If you treat other badly, you will be in the lower darker places. As you raise your condition, you move to the lighter heavens. Those on the same path as you (beliefs) will be with you. I'll be with the Divine Love people who strive to be at-one with God. Adhereing to a religion doesn't mean you get to see God. It's the soul condition that determines where you end up.

Jesus resides in the Celestial heavens above all others, however, He still has not seen God. He can see Him with His soul but He's not with God yet.
