One of the biggest problems of humans is that we are constantly swinging between what is gone and what is yet to come. We are either crying over the past or anxious about the future, not even fully enjoying and living in the present moment.
One of the greatest narratives is woven around the countless possibilities of where have we come from and where will we go after this life is over. Some say one meets angels in heaven if they have done good deeds and accumulated good karma, others believe those with bad deeds will be fried like fritters in the wok of hell. My point is, why think about all this? Who has lived to see or document any of it? Now is here, in front of our eyes and we chose to turn away from this majestic present moment.
Nothing is left of us after death - our body, desires, wants, all is gone except the soul. And when all is gone, how will we know where exactly are we, hell or heaven? How will we know what is happening to us when our body, mind and senses are left behind?
This life is based on truth and the experience of truth is possible only in the present moment through mediums like body, mind, eyes, ears, nose, basically via our senses. Experience is something that takes us beyond thoughts and this is what brings salvation. The body in which you cannot rise above it without understanding it, you cannot be deeply silent.
There is no need to understand what is after death, understand what lies before death and this is how you will rise above the matters of life and death. When you will be in the present moment, you will be at peace.
