So then in the original scenario the person would cease to be a human when he or she died, but would still be conscious, and capable of creating her own heaven and hell.
But yea, I agree that the same happens in life, except evil people don't neccessarily live in their own hell, nor the good in heaven. That is why people need the ideas of heaven and hell. We don't understand good and evil in themselves, and need to attach them to pains and pleasures, which we do understand. Which reminds me of a Tool lyric: "Black then white are all I see in my infancy."
