Is heaven another dimension?

The Sphinx - Your posting made me remember something that I saw when I was about 10 years old. Of course being Catholic I was raised to believe in Heaven as an actual place in the skies to which we float off to once we die and all, but at any age we all have our questions of the validity of that theory no matter what our age. But something that year turned my belief around. A father of a friend of mine took a photograph of the skies one day because the clouds formed and erie formation before a storm. Not knowing what would appear in that photo they had it developed. In the middle of the clouds just hanging in the sky was an angelic figure in perfect form. The face was that of a bearded man, robed and the being had large wings spreading out from behind his back. I will never forget that photograph for as long as I live. It restored and restores my belief in Heaven. That and just strong faith. I don't think Heaven is just a type of higher consciousness. I believe it is an actual place/higher realm of existence to which we can move to once our physical life is complete in this carnation. It may be a temporary check-in station before we move to another existence somewhere else, or back here on this planet. I think of it as a soul recharge/reassignment station. That moves away from my traditional Catholic training, but I'm much older than 10 now (lol) and hopefully wiser with the outlook I have about life/death/rebirth. :)
