Evil cannot enter perfection.
What if the only things that entered the afterlife were all the good friendships, the kindness we gave to people, the love we shared, the good memories.
The more good you experience and do in this life, the more of that you have in the next. The more "whole" you are in the next.
if at the moment of death, all evil is stripped from you, perhaps people who live lives with so much evil and corruption take so little of themselves into the next that its just simply confusing. they took so little with them that they dont even recognize themselves. a hell of sorts?
Withawhy,
If I might comment, you are on the right track. Your are using terminology you have been progammed with as you use the word "good". Good is too subjective, try substituting the word "compatible". Good is too attached to the "I" and the ego as the individual efforts to seek what is good that will "satisfy" that ego or the self.
Compatible is that understanding that instills in us a "we" mentality. "That" is what we carry into the next life as the "I" is, as you say "filtered out" to the extent in which it "takes" from another to reach that satisfaction as "we" learn to cooperate together and become to realize what "good" truly means and can be enjoyed by all. It is then the "we" will "satisfy" the "I" in ways we cannot conceive. That is harmony and that is love. A word we use everyday, yet we don't have a clue as to what it really means.
You got a small glimpse of what the "core" of that love and harmony is all about. Can you imagine what that would mean when all of us begin to re-unite with that "core" (God). That's when life truly begins.
Just remember we are eternal beings and death is but a consequence that is, at this time in our existence, a part of that eternal life. It's been a "live and learn", a "trial and error", and a "truth or consequences" kinda thing. It had to be that way.
