the after life is the TRUE LIFE after RISING above the ego
we will never loose the ego since it is our DESIRE TO RECEIVE
but it is transformed to "RECEIVE SO I CAN LOVE" (everyone, all creation)
thats the AFTER LIFE
it happens when we reach that state
till then, dead or alive physically, we are at this level and changing bodies won't help the situation
people are more aware at a much younger age about the things the older generations tried to deny
