If there is life after death, then it is probable that there is a continuity of our consciousness and we will become aware of our inner divine self for awhile. If there is no life after death, then there is no continuity of consciousness and life loses all meaning. During our life we have a brain and our senses which allow us awareness of our thoughts, feelings and environment. After death the awareness changes because the brain is dead as are the bodily senses. But let's hope there is an ongoing awareness which must be a function of more subtle parts of our being. Our astral body is what we use when we dream at night, and I believe that after physical death our consciousness transfers into our astral body. Death is really nothing but a dream, but the dream depends on what kind of behavior we engaged in during our life. We will all face our worst nightmare after we die, but it won't be an eternal damnation. It might feel like eternal damnation because time behaves differently outside of the physical dimension. But the nightmares will transition into happy dreams as our hell morphs into our heaven. And then that too will cease when God taps us on the shoulder and points us to our next family for our next incarnation, where hopefully we will become more loving, giving and sharing with our fellow humans.
