There are laws that govern the survival of death. There are many different experiences that can (potentially) follow getting up in the morning. So also with death. What determines the experience? The experience is determined by what you have inherited in the deeper unconscious being as a result of your action (during those phases of your existence when you had the capability of bodily action). As I have said: While you are alive, you make mind--and, after you die, mind makes you.
By your action all the while--even now--you are putting things (so to speak) into the unconscious, the deeper personality, which is outside the grossly-orientated brain. You are enforcing and reinforcing patterns. You are patterning the deeper personality. You are (in some sense) indulging in what is there in the unconscious, but you are also adding to it. And, throughout your life, the unconscious is (in most cases) just that--unconscious. That is why you wonder whether you survive death--because you are not aware of the greater part.
When you die, the waking consciousness falls off, the physical falls off--and what was unconscious before (which is outside the grossly-oriented brain) is now who you are and where you are. It is a place. It is the mind-realm. This is what follows life. Death is by no means simply a doorway to heaven. What is on your mind now, when you lose physical attention? What kinds of thoughts do you have, what kinds of dreams do you have, what kinds of fears do you have? Whatever they are, they will make your experience after death. While you are alive, you have physical concentration and a brain that locks you away from the so-called unconscious. You have an opportunity while alive to purify yourself, but what is to be purified is outside the brain. You think it does not even exist--so you just indulge yourself in physical life, as if the physical exists for its own sake.The physical is not there for its own sake. It is there to help you purify the deeper being, the deeper personality--to the point where you can be Gracefully Awakened to That Which Transcends even the deeper personality.
