so far no one has come back to tell us about it, so it's all just guesswork.

For an afterlife to make sense, though, we would have to agree on a "soul" or something that would survive physical death. There's little evidence of that, although there is some evidence of things beyond our physical existence. I suspect that we are connected through higher dimensions that we can't see,

Imagine a being that lives on a plane-- only two dimensions. A hand touching the plane would not look like a hand to it, it would look like five spots where the fingers touch it with no connection. A color wheel turning at the end of the plane would look like the horizon changing color, and might signify time on the plane. Then imagine that there are higher dimensions that we can't see and the types of connections that could be up there.

I don't know where all these ideas about an afterlife came from, but they are so common it may be from some fundamental human wish to deny death, or could it be some ancient wisdom we have forgotten...
