Will it be their spirit that will judge them after their physical death? Does the person get to be punished?

Accounts of the after-death state vary, but the possibilities include:
- The materialistic person who has denied the existence of an afterlife realises that the physical body has died and they are surprised to find they still exist. They may naturally proceed to the astral planes or they may hover around the physical plane, unsure of what to do next. Eventually they may accept guidance and leave the physical plane behind.
- The materialistic person who has denied the existence of an afterlife denies the possibility that they have died because as far as they are concerned they are very much alive. They hang around the physical plane wondering why family and friends ignore them. In effect they are earthbound.
- The materialistic person who has denied the existence of an afterlife becomes unconscious after death because their belief that they will cease to exist is so strong.
There are no accounts of being judged by spirit and being punished for having materialistic beliefs. There are many accounts of encountering our own Higher Self which offers us a review of our lives, where we can see all that we have done and how these things have affected others. The Higher Self is described as being deeply loving and compassionate. The harshest judgement comes from ourselves as we review our actions, because no doubt we have all said and done things which will make us cringe.
Peace.
