You are dead. A new journey has begun...
For a moment imagine all that you are, is only your mind. Your thoughts, feelings, memories and knowledge is all that you are. No Body. How would you feel-free at first-no more aches pains, itches, no ugly stretch marks, bald patches, no loose flesh, no wrinkled skin. In this freedom of just the bundle of thoughts, you float around. Still in this world-only you can now see the others also with their thought bundles floating around, plainly as you saw them as bodies in your earlier life. Some are selfish, some are obsessed with some desires, some are full of themselves-arrogant, some are completely miserable,some pleasantly happy.
So now in this world, you begin your thought process, the same way you would , in the previous one-perhaps, by comparison-asking yourself-ok, where do i stand in this world. You sift thru your good and bad thoughts, your positive energy giving ones and your negative weakening ones. Since ,you are only thought, you aim to reduce the negative ones, cultivate the positive ones. Suddenly ,you have now a clearer idea of what are really good thoughts and what leads to unhappiness and frustration. You learn more about how others think-you see other's viewpoints clearly and begin to accept notions which you in your earlier form had rejected.
This education goes on until the first thought of desire creeps in- i am so hungry- would love a delicious hot juicy jelabi this instant. You are filled with images of this delicasy-suddenly there seems nothing more important or larger than a jelabi. You now have absolutely NO way to eat a jalebi-having lost the human form. You hover in your thought world-until slowly the urge goes away. After a while ,other images of desires trouble you-you realise the limitations of this new state. You realise no desires can be fulfilled on this plane. One can improve one's thought processes, clean one's thought chambers and contemplate several things ,but one cannot actually do anything. One can keep learning , one can keep studying, one can keep solving problems-if these aren't enough, you wonder -oh my god ,my life is BORING.(you also remember in your physical life ,when you had to do something repeatedly, you used the same words.)
Then you decide to solve this issue of boredom-the same way you would have done earlier-you try to learn a new bunch of thoughts-go in a new direction-explore other venues-seek guidance from better beings around you-find joy in sharing and helping someone in a worser plight-ok -you think-this is fun. I am enjoying this state. I am learning to cope. You begin a new life.
(What happens next?....Time passes quickly-a 100, 200 years passes very fast as slowly only the clear beautiful side of your mind world is left, all desires burnt out by sheer lack of fulfillment. You are now ready to leave the Kamaloka and move higher into the sphere of the Devachanic plane- the heaven of your own self creation- of the purest and the most perfect in you. Of all the higher things that you loved in your earthly life.
A 1000/2000 years in this plane- passes again faster again- and you are reborn with your old skandas or propensities/attachments reworking the parts of your karma and trudging through life, once again oblivious to all that has already happened in all those past thousands of years, once again filling the vessel of your 'you ness'....once again creating an I.. once again living blindly...)
