Ooooey veigh, 21 Century Christians are stuck in a 13th Century Dante Alighieri concept of after life.
We were SO much better off before the "divine poet" Dante. Plato and the Greeks, for one, had a much more holistic understanding of life and death. Wasn't so full of the middle ages Christian absolutes and duality of life/death, good/evil, light/darkness.
Here's a little more out-of-box notion:
"energy always exhibits mass in whatever form the energy takes" or in simpler terms which you might understand:
E=MC2
In an allegorical way of thinking, what one might say is:
Time and thought are the ocean. They have a current that moves in one direction: forward.
Time and thought have a mass. Theirs may be infinitesimal, but a mass nonetheless.
We are at a moment in time in the ocean in which we reside in a particular mass: our human forms. However, this will not always be so.
Time and thought existed before we did: God. Think of God as the ocean.
Time and thought will exist after we leave this current mass, our human forms, and move forward in the ocean's currents. Perhaps, our brief encounter with the current of time will add to the ocean's current?
But to complicate things further, the ocean is of vast and unfathomable depths. It is not a stable mass. It moves, it shifts, it calms, it recedes from shores, it creates great Tsunamis that wash over humanity.
God is not a human mass. God is time and thought.
God is the ocean.
E=MC2.
That is what our human deaths are. A point in time. Nothing more.
