Efez 2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,
Efez 2:5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved—
Efez 2:6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

Is a part of us already in the heavenly places?

As we are in Christ, we are enjoying Hus reign now

So yes
Danger, Will Robinson.  You will be assimilated, confiscated, folded, mutilated, and spindled. Do not pass go.  Turn right on red. Third star to the right and full speed 'til morning.

No man on earth is also in heaven. Tghe heavenly place we sit in Christ Jesus, is the throne of our heart He now sits in by His Spirit.

The only ones that will reign with Christ on earth, or the resurrected saints for at thousand years, and His servants forever on the new earth.

I've always taken this to mean that we are in Christ Jesus and through Him and thus also "seated... in the heavenly places," even though we aren't ontically situated there, if by "there" we mean someplace other than our present circumstance.

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.
