is it the people who are good you co existed with you know, or everyone who is good will live there
is everyone reserved to be eaten by the planet, like a car eating up a fossil fuel until it is empty,
Or is there really a place that is " you" exists and going to exist somewhere that you are consciously aware of
From reality’s perspective, there is no afterlife.
From fantasy’s persepctive, I’ll take a trip for two to a tropical paradise.
==============
John 14:2, “In my father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.”
Mansions of the souls. I believe in the afterlife and I believe there are states of consciousness for each of us according to our spiritual unfoldment. The highly evolved individual will be placed with other highly evolved individuals. The lower one with his kind. Maybe the highly evolved one can visit the lower one to give inspiration, advice, etc but the lower one cannot visit the higher one, unlike in Dante’s divine comedy, the characters are able to visit every state.

The ancient Egyptians must be wrong then to prepare their dead for burial, their elaborate preparations, mummification process, prayers, funereal procession, material things buried with them so they will be able to survive in the afterlife.
Why do we try to do good in any way we can if we don’t want to be compensated for the good deeds we do, if not this lifetime, maybe next lifetime.
If you read the bible, why did Jesus say then, “I go prepare a place for you.”
Section 24, Row 6, seat 3 or 4.
I have a pair of tickets, reserved seating.
I was watching a show called Prophecy in the Bible last night. According to him, we will roam and expand in the universe, possibly like Vorlons from Babylon 5.
When this vehicle of mine called my body expires. I will be loosed upon another adventure of learning. I really don’t know where my next step will be. Paradise to me would be seeing, learning and comprehending all the horrors and wonders of the universe plus whatever is beyond. I will continue to evolve when this body passes on, that I know.
I do know for sure that one of the people that affect my life now will be always be near or a part of me forever. My husband.
Yes they were indeed wrong about there being an afterlife.
They were ignorant compared to us today and they were frightened of death.
It is understandable that they would delude an afterlife and go whole-hog in their behavior to keep the delusion operating in their mind.
People who live their life from their heart and not their mind are simply striving to thrive without needlessly harming others because that is what one’s heart does. Their behavior is not based on reacting to be “rewarded” for “good” behavior, about which they never give a second thought. Their behavior is based on simply being from the heart.
Only the dominant mind, caught in religious behavior-compelling dualisms of “epistemological” right and wrong may succumb to the “teachings” of religion that say “there will be rewards and punishments in the afterlife”.
The superegoistic religious thereby compel those “dangerous” to them who are egoistic to “toe the line, or else”.
But, of course, all of this is just the mental manipulating the mental by means of contrived fantasies.
There is no afterlife in reality.
Likely for the reasons I just gave: 1) to compel behavior, and 2) because Jesus suffered a fear-based delusion of, not only afterlife, but about himself being the one and only “son” of God … assuming, of course, that Jesus actually “said” this and such wasn’t merely more of the fictional writing of those whose works were “deemed” by the early Catholic church to be worthy of being part of “The Bible”.
OK, Jen, so the law of the conservation of matter and energy then, is also wrong? The things, the experiences, you value the most, are they gone too? Will you please review the law? Then tell me, what you know.
