this is a powerful question for us since we can not know the truth until we arrive.. it allows us mystery and direction... if we choose a healthy destination for the unknown times in our lives, even tho it is unknown and completely not supportable except in spirit, the guiding light of its health will continually feed and nourish our own inner souls.... choose an everlasting spirit for your own afterlife if able, and that single choice will be your mast in the storm.. gather and build strength for your choice from the sources available...

interesting that a topic of afterlife extends into the period of time which appears to proceed it.. do we know there is no Judgment Day? we can make each day of our lives a personal judgment day (the definition of self consciousness), and we can choose a damning fate or a forgiving attitude towards our souls... forgiveness allows us to extend our existence further into a better place and time.... best to all always
