My idea of Heaven would be, that it’d be a place where you get to spend as long as you want there before deciding to move on. Like whether you want to comeback as someone new or want to be an angel or want to do something on a cosmic or spiritual scale that contributes to the bigger picture. You’re free from all suffering, regret, torment and guilt.
The idea of Hell is, is you get planted into two potential places aside from the commonly registered idea of hell that’s depicted. One place is solitary confinement, for your spirit. No contact, nothing. Whatever you suffered with, still remains and nothing or nobody will bother with you.
Another place, is where you get to relive your better dreams and memories. But they’re going to be fucked with until they’re nightmares, robbing you of ever reliving the pleasantries that they once provided you. It’ll be like partaking in a bad sitcom and you’re its star. You’re here in this idea of hell for quite the eternity, you don’t get choice as to when you want to leave or what you do with your spirit.
I hope hell doesn’t exist, an ethical creator would not create a realm for torturing people, however long it’s for, especially if it’s eternal. They also would just give you heaven now, you wouldn’t have to experience a horrible human life to get into it. And it would be eternal pleasure, just like all the happy chemicals in your brain in a magical way so you don’t build resistance to it.
Anyway, directly affecting chemicals in your brain is a less interesting but better way to either create pleasure or pain in a human, experiences are fun to describe, but not the best way to actually do it.
Idk what if anything happens after death. Heaven or oblivion would be good, hell or reincarnation would be less desirable.
