The Maya, the Matrix, the Illusion
"Jewish Views of the Afterlife
... below are some of the possible responses that have emerged over the centuries.

What is interesting about the last part, Gan Eden, is something in the, 'Book of Revelation, in the New Testament written, where Yeshua states that those,
"...who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.'
King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
http://bible.cc/revelation/2-7.htm
Now, we know that in Genesis, the Tree of life was in the Garden of Eden, and that, part of the situation of, "The Fall" involved Adam and Eve being forbidden to partake of the, "Tree of Life", and hence, decay and death comes into the whole world.
A question might be, "why"?
Why all of the world... and not just say, to Adam and Eve, or, humanity alone...?
This pertains to what the world really is, and as I've been addressing in my, "Matrix", thread in the Inter-faith
sub forum.
This also aligns with Yeshua's statement, about how, "The kingdom of God is within you"... as well, His statements equating the Angelic with Humanity... and, of course the excellent illustration of the Wachowski's flick, "The Matrix"
Which is an interpretation of what modern Physics is sharing also, since Einstein. (A Jew).
Who famously stated, "Reality is an illusion, albeit a very persistant one."
Not to mention, Far Eastern teachings, regarding, "Maya".
A Consensus, at YouTube...
