Interesting twist- that of retaining the human body in the heavenly realms. I've certainly heard a lot about us having various subtle bodies, shaped just like the gross physical one, though I haven't any direct experience of that. However like many long time meditators I have seen divine phenomena here on earth, so it makes sense that the opposite could occur. I recall someone saying once, "if you can imagine it, it exists", which getting back to the human nervous system, being wholly a product of this and other universes, this makes perfect sense. It is an infinite universe within infinite universes, after all!
