Re: Question about the afterlife
I think referring to "the" afterlife is like referring to "the" life. Lives can be vastly different, so much so that the experience of, say, living as a Kalahari bushman is so different from the life of, say, an eighteen century Austrian princess, that they're almost beyond comparison. I have no reason to think that our afterlives (if there is such a thing) are going to be all the same any more than our lives have been all the same.
Certainly, there are people who have had experiences, visions, OOBs, etc., and they interpret their experiences as "an afterlife" and that's fine. I don't dispute that people have these experiences, certainly. But are these things universal? They don't appear to be so, any more than the experience of material "life" is universal. We share only very basic things, and the rest is extremely variable.
But, if you take the "time and space" constraints out of the picture, it's all actually simultaneous rather than linear, so the idea of "afterlife" might be entirely moot....
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
