I think that is entirely possible BG. I've thought about something similar.

Another physical after-life possibility is that time is like a linear dimension. But our consciousness can only process a slice at a time. When you die, your consciousness simply restarts and you live your life all over again. Or parts of your life if you're an optimist

Another one, but far less 'consciousy' is the imprint theory. Basically as you lived your life it is a unique pattern, and you "imprinted" yourself over time, like a genetic string, or a computer program. When you die you then have a far different, but some kind of light, high consciousness over the period of time you lived. Almost like an AI outside of time.

Another (heh, I know quite a few theories) is the quantum immortality theory. Quantum suicide and immortality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Explains it better than I. Basically you live forever, but you're the only one in your universe that does.

Another, is basically infinity. The universe keeps going and going, forever, to infinity. To the point that eventually your life is reproduced again, exactly as it was, bajillions of years ago.

Huh, that's my, and pretty much my entire families' belief. Never ran into someone else who had the exact same belief.
