You're spirit anyway. The earthly body is just one phase of it, maybe an extreme, depending how your beliefs unroll anyway. The way you live your life here will either refine you or at worst, do nothing. To me, that's what 'spiritual' practices aim at: refinement.

As a gnostic, that earthly phase will one day pass. I have no useful words for what's left after material death because the "I-ness" of me will have gone but whatever emerges will return to the spiritual arena.

(Some people here call that "I-ness" the ego which is a misnomer to me as it's a process that augments as the seconds pass. A well-known occultist said 'every moment of every day is of [occult] importance to you. It depends on how you assimilate what you take in from it.')
