they were very loving and warm and kind toward him, and it was just a joyous and beautiful place, that he called "heaven"... But, it was "his" heaven...
Jesus says,
"if you love those who love you, what reward have you?" in Matthew 5:46. So, I can see how Jesus desires for us to love any and all people, not to have certain favorites who are love idols. So, our Biblical hope is to see Jesus and all of our Jesus family, not only certain people.
And it will be about Jesus, not us being the center of attention!
But, that is not the only "him's" and not the one and only place he existed... He also existed in other peoples realities where they were the center of, he being in them/it, what they expected or hoped for in their heaven...
I think you mean that each of us exists in each other person's perception of us. And how we are in each one's experience of us is unique, in each case
And I think you mean that no one else has a true experiencing of who you are. I would say this is true. And we can tend to try to use one another, without really knowing whom we are trying to use. But God's love does not have us only trying to use anyone!!
And God's love is able to change our nature so we all become more and more like Jesus (1 John 4:17, Ephesians 4:2). And then is when we can experience how Jesus is, plus how each of us is becoming. We do get more and more common experience . . . by means of our
"common faith" (Titus 1:4).
So, yes we can truly get to know one another, by becoming
"gentle and lowly in heart" (Matthew 11:28-30) like Jesus in us

And then we no longer have love idols . . . as we become like this, together
