When you die, you go to Judgement City. There officials will look at several days of your life to see if you've progressed. It seems we humans are consumed by fear.
In the hereafter, you go through a briefing to see if you have evolved and faced your fears. If not, they send you back in another form to learn from your mistakes in another life.
You keep doing this until you have totally conqured your fears and you then move on to another plateau. Unfortunatley, if you don't progress after numerous attempts, they simply throw you away. LOL!
I could keep going, but you know where this originated!
