"Heaven" is the dimension where you are fully present with God. The most helpful picture of "heaven" is at the Baptism of Jesus.

At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. As Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased." (Mark 1:9-11)

"Heaven" in this context is where God is fully present in eternity and His eternal dimension intersects with our earthly dimension in Jesus. In this way the fulfilled Kingdom of God breaks into the present world. The future intersects with the present.

Stay with this and let it steep.
