Many believe in a place called the Summerland, or the otherworld.

Also seems very insensible to burn in Hell. To me this is a control method used by the church to brain wash their congregants.

In my personal view and knowing that the human body has an electrical component in the brain...I find comfort in the fact that electricity as a rule can never be created or destroyed it just changes form. So no matter what happens, life is not linear, and we do not just blink out.
My teacher died of breast cancer, and she had no fear of her impending exit, and with confidence knew she would be born again into the arms of her mother, whoever that was. It also made the transition easier to bear for many of us, we knew she was going to be ok, because she believed she was going to the next gig.
In many traditions/cases there is a body of water involved, one must cross to get to the next realm. Some might argue/wonder if this is indeed the amniotic fluid.
So, whether this transition is instantaneous or not is a mystery, but one can be sure there is more out there. Onward! Excelsior! From this life to the next!...and in the words of my beloved Jim Morrison, "We live we die and death not ends it."

many blessings, Firebird

One night by chance found some Rudolf Steiner lectures videos on youtube about the afterlife, not his voice he passed away in 1925.
