I have come to basically the same conclusions through my research of the afterlife. I applaud how you were able to express the information with such a limited language. Hats off.
P.S. Don't let all the do gooders get to you and derail this thread.

I'd be interested in checking out what you've come up with. It's important work, and there should be a community of effort, as opposed to the spirit of competition that seems to be predominant. Who cares who the person is who finally breaks through on this. After all, there's no way of cashing in on accurately defining reality.

I think I remember that movie, but I don't remember if I actually saw it or if I caught a piece of it while flipping through channels. Does Robin Williams hunt down his girlfriend, or wife, and find her in hell? If so, does he ever get her out of there? I honestly don't remember if he gets her out or not.
Thanks. I would be interested in what you think of that book.

I'm not sure but after reading through this post, I believe this might be the help and information that you were going to refer me to.
Very interesting indeed, but, unless im not understanding the concept in its entirety, I believe you've come to the conclusion that our lives in this world, which include all teachings, perceptions, and life choices are passed on to this informational realm in which what we expect to experience is bought about into a reality.
This reality is just a form of control imprinted into our information selves on Earth, so people in this new realm can assert an eternal power over the newly passed over. But It's all lies. We are programmed to believe in these things, but they don't exist, It's all manipulation.
Let me quote you now, because this is where I get a little confused if I haven't twisted your words already. If I have I'm sorry and feel free to correct my understanding;
"You don't have to challenge whatever established order you happen to wander into, but be aware that whatever you accept as real is only as real as you decide it to be. Human intellect is 100% perception,and that's 100% subjective. And that means that you are 100% in charge of what the informational realm looks like, feels like, smells like and is like. And anything to the contrary of that is 100% bullsh*t."
Ok, so what I read from this is that we can bypass what we have been conditioned to believe and think, so we can break out of this authoritarian eternity and live this new stage of existence as we want.
So, if we know this information and tell ourselves that we have complete control, 100% in charge, we break out of the system. This sounds amazing, almost a be your own God scenario. What is playing on my mind is this;
If we question what we have been told, and programme ourselves to believe it's all lies and break out from the controllers of this new realm, then this will become the reality.
But is this reality real? I mean we changed our thought processes to believe something away from the main Heaven or Hell, but our new reality becomes fallacy, our own creation of alternative views amazing but fake.
I hope Ive got your afterlife muddled, because yes we have free will and our individuality if we so choose, but I want a reality and plane of existence as real as I am, not a magical illusion created by my thought processes in which I get my every desire. But maybe I'm looking at this from the wrong perspective.

K - just quickly cause I don't want to distract from the ^ queries from the above poster which I could only wish to so eloquently put - (and I want to stay on topic) but (on topic) the book/movie basically works on the premise that we retain our belief systems when we die and that death is not autonomous with "enlightenment" (whatever that means). And most importantly that "death" of the human transcends into .. "You Create What You Believe" - basically - a self-imposed environment.
Basically - what one expects is what one gets.
There is way more than that in the book and/or movie though. He delves into reincarnation, soul-mates, akashic records and many other things that I'm pretty sure you don't believe in ... so for the moment ... I'll just stick with the topic at hand.
I have many queries on this, but I guess I'm just confused as to ... if one creates their own heaven (or hell) - then what is the real reality?
See - I don't believe in heaven or hell. I have no religion. None.
It has recently occurred to me that you are trying to reach the people that have a dogma. What about those that don't?
So what will be my reality be?
Will I finally get my little mountain cottage with my little fireplace and my Love by my side?
It can't be that easy. No way.
And if it is eternity? Then what is that all about?
Eh - that's for another discussion I'm guessing.
