Let's say we don't just vanish when we die. There's an afterlife, be it the Summerland or Hades or Heaven, etc., and we go there as humans rather than some ball of energy or something.
Who is that 'self'?
Is it just the self you were when you died?
Is it a younger self, maybe you as a child or some other point in life? If so, why that particular self?
Is it a composite of all the selves you were during your life? But what if you had vastly conflicting views and traits during your life -- how would they be reconciled in your new spirit self?
If you believe that we aren't human-like in the afterlife, then what are the differences between the afterlife self you believe in and our mortal self?
Finally, a more concrete question. How would your views on the afterlife resolve this issue -- a man marries a wife, she dies, then he marries again. Once they're all dead, what's their relationship with each other like?
