It's a possibility. The truth is that we know nothing of what lies beyond this shore, we can only glimpse from our limited knowledge and perspective of what death really is. Common sense and our physics would deem such a notion impossible, absurd or just plain silly, but perhaps there are places not governed by such laws. Who knows. At this point, it's all mere conjecture.
i don't really envision it - not as a physical place. it's more like something i feel i know, without needing an explanation or understanding of it. sounds strange to actually put it in words tho i have to admit
in any case, it's probably based on past religious teachings, things i have read, both fiction and non, experiences with respect to people who have passed on, etc
I would understand time-travel better so I could go back and guilt trip the space-aliens into loving me more. A year or so ago, it would have been more selfless.
Reality happens, I guess (if that's the way we want to be remembered)?
I would like for my interpretation to be wrong, but I feel it would be irresponsible to give a blanket "it will be happily-ever-after for all of us" to said goal, because it's obviously going to take a lot of work.

i don't know how to put it properly. basically it comes down to religious people thinking that it's up to them and their actions whether or not they get to live on after this life. those without religion look at it more like a vacuum that is inevitable for all of us equally. there's no will, nothing you can do to avoid it.
