Heaven is life with God. We will be present with Him, it was the whole point of Christ's death and resurrection.

1 Corinthians 13:9-12

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Matthew 5:8

(8)  Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

What do you think happened 2000 years ago when God Himself walked on the earth? Not direct enough?

Don't you know we'll see Christ in paradise? And don't you know He's coming again to the earth? As directly as people saw Him 2k years ago, so directly shall we see Him.
