I have my own beliefs but to keep this as open as possible I just want to know what your theories (or facts) on the after life are. Thanks!

My tradition teaches that one of two things happens:
1. If I'm not ready to rejoin God I will reincarnate.
2. If I am ready to rejoin God, I will reunite.

I remember hundreds of other lives, and also life between life. I can remember being in Spirit before birth, and I have traveled out of body to visit friends who have died to see what they are up to in the higher dimensions. After death there are many paths and possibilities, but ultimately we are entering into a realm where imagination is unhindered by the speed of matter, and thoughts can manifest instantly as reality. We create our own reality, it is just that it is more instantaneous in that realms. We can go to other worlds, incarnate again on this or other worlds, and attend higher education centers for souls that are training for new evolutionary journeys. There is so much more, but that is a short answer.

I learned from God's Word that when those of us who are Christians die, our spirits never lose their consciousness (Phils. 1:23). Instead, our fully conscious spirits are immediately ushered into the presence of Jesus by His holy angels (2 Cor. 5:8).
Our spirits remain in the Lord's presence until He appears for His Church. At that time, He brings our spirits with Him, resurrects our bodies, reunites our spirits with our bodies, and then glorifies our bodies, perfecting them and rendering them eternal (1 Thess 4:13-18).
If you are not saved, you are in a place of torment, your spirit is held until the resurrection of the unrighteous which takes place at the end of the millennial reign of Jesus. At that resurrection you are taken before the Great White Throne of God where you are judged by your works and then condemned to the "second death," which is the "lake of fire" or Hell (Revelation 20:11-15).

I'm not exactly sure Tony but It looks great.
Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.
While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.
Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.
I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.
I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.
I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.
Your brother don

We spend about 500 years hanging out in astral plane, kicking back - kinda like an extended celestial vacation - before we reincarnate and start all over again.

We become one with existence again. Life is all one energy. There is a spiritual reality...meditation has showed me that. It is a similar process to dying...relax the mind, turn off all thoughts, and then see beyond the self

I believe the soul goes home and the body to the ground.

The body decomposes back into the dust it was made from.
The soul (person) passes into eternity to unite with G*D.

When you die, thats it, no after life, no living eternally up in the sky, your just gone.
