   Oh, I think that's definitely so -- in fact, after a REAL Death   
   Experience, I think the newly discarnate souls find themselves   
   in a self-created dream made out of their own expectations and   
   religious convictions (Hell, Heaven, Nothingness, Dancing Girls).   
   When they've mooched around inside that long enough to get   
   really really bored with it, they disperse it and move on to deal   
   with the reality of between-lives experience, which I suppose to   
   consist of the following, maybe in no order whatever:   
      
   hanging out catching your breath, maybe   
      catching up with old friends, peeking   
      back down at what's been left behind.   
   review of the life just completed, in   
      perfect and complete detail.   
   putting aside the personality of that life.   
   assessing that life in the context of all   
      your previous lives.   
   putting together a rough plan for your   
      next one, in the light of where you're   
      already been and what you've already   
      done, and where you want to go next.   
   making contact with the other souls   
      about stuff you want done in your   
      next, planned life -- parents, siblings,   
      maybe people who agree to help you   
      on your way at certain points (as you   
      agree to help others, if things work out   
      so that you can).   
   picking your body in utero, maybe popping   
      in now and then to see how it's going.   
   diving in for the long haul, once the infant   
      body is born and takes its first breath --   
      ie, gives the basic sign of infant health   
      and viability.   
      
   I think there's a lot of work involved, which you don't get   
   down to until you stop messing around with angels and   
   harps (or devils, equally of your own imagining) or other   
   religious recipes for the afterlife, and remember that the   
   next steps are waiting, and they're up to you.   
      
   Just my belief-set, of course.  I can't prove any of it, even   
   if I thought there was any point in trying to do that.
