When you die..
.
The universe has two sides: everything that was and will be, and we are stuck in the part that IS NOW. When you die, your time dies, which means it dilates into the totality of everything.
What this means is that when you die you will not decrease to nothing but increase into everything. You cannot become Nothing because you are Something, the One who is Everything.
So yes, you soar through the afterlife in a journey corresponding with the life you lived, the continuity of cause and effect, you merge with more and more purgatory and paradise, and ultimately become One with Everything.
You don’t need any specific religion, knowledge of special Teachers, or to have paid a lot of tithe or prayed a lot. meditated a lot, no. You are a divided part of You falling into the rest of You, the One God that is All.
You will be horrified by the bad things you did and greatly rewarded for the good you did, but it will end with Total Peace with All Things. Even the worst sinner will drink the Divine Cup to the bottom, even if it burns their lips at first because of their bad deeds. You will feel great relief if life as been difficult for you, and you will remember that.. You belong on the Other Side, the Earthly Life was but a side quest, a dream, a part of the never-ending story of all things.
