My opinions are somewhat skewed from discussion since heaven and hell are non existent in my beliefs. I'm not an atheist, mind you. To me there are only two things after death, either you continue to live on through everyone you know and who they know and so on, through the over-soul, or your existence/soul/spirit/mind does not become part of everything, meaning does not return to the over-soul...
That is my belief. Elements of things we all have potential to do and accomplish become part of the over-soul again. This over-soul has been around for eternity, sure, but I am not dead or alive enough to connect completely into everything to tell you. I figure it will just be pure understanding and without emotion to interfere with the experience and existence granted. Emotion will be there, but the understanding of what those emotions were and are will not hinder your understanding.
EDIT: On another thought, if you are knowledgeable with William Blake and his Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience: his idea of a being that is an "Experienced Innocent" is what I was trying to describe.
