I suppose my actual question is what happens after we die but I'm convinced we go on after we pass on from this world. What determines where we go after we die in the 3d realm. Is the light a trick or are the spirits that show up a trick? What are the thoughts of those much more informed on this than me?

Upon your last gasp, some random conscious being in some random cosmos will become aware of itself for the first time. This will be you without the memory of your current life. There is no way to prevent this. The ride never ends, only memories do. Good deeds or religion play no role, it is not a supernatural process. Your next self could be another human being (very long odds), a chimp in a Pfizer lab, a stoat in siberia, a stoat-like animal on Rigel IV, a sentient space-probe built by stoat-like animals on Rigel IV, a simulated cat-brain built by the Department of Energy, or, most likely, some other random consciousness based on unknown physics in a universe inaccessible to us. NO REFUNDS. He who exists is a cursed nigger living in ignorance and pain. No end in sight, because there is none.
There are sects of Christianity that deemphasize or openly doubt an afterlife.

What will it be like to go to sleep and never wake up?
What was it like to wake up, having never been asleep?
You are already a winner because you will be reincarnated as a cute pet gecko.
