in the rediscovered lost books(dead sea scrolls) of the new testament, there is a passage(removed by the catholic church over a thousand years ago)where the disciples ask jesus "what will heaven be like?"...will we see family and friends from earth?? animals?? trees?? rocks?? sun?? stars?? jesus replies "men are blind for they do not see the kingdom of heaven is here on earth." the church removed this passage because you don't need a church to get to heaven when you are already there.
