I've often seen my deceased parents in my dreams. So I feel something exists beyond our world. However no one really knows.

It doesn't have to be. As I hear it, if you want to get to Heaven (Devachan) you got to raise a little Hell.
. That is said to be one path.
So, if you are on the Road to Shambala...try music.

Heaven, hell, and all the rest are fairytales told to comfort pussies who are afraid of the end.
Instead of being afraid of the end, treat it like a deadline (pun intended) and get important shit done Now.

Now, speaking of Shangri La, you needn't go anywhere to get there if
...you're in your place and you know where you are.
Seriously though, it isn't a physical place, you can get there from right where you are.
You ken be in your own little Shangri La
