Why should I worry about whatever may happen after I'm dead?
Well... I do worry about that... but not about what will happen to me... I worry about my kids and I hope that by then I'll have grandkids.
Also, as a scientist, I try to provide humanity with a few more tools to advance our understanding.
But you're talking about something else... something of myself that carries on after I'm dead... like my personality, my memories, my knowledge... surely not my body...and that non-corporeal bundle of neurological events will, somehow experience the "full glory of the Lord" and somehow end up worshiping said lord, am I right?
And you've come across this information because someone has indeed been in that state and then managed to communicate with someone, while in that state (I'd imagine the physical body of this person to have rotted away by the time "it" could communicate with some the physical world)... am I right?
And this has happened enough independent times to discount false testimony, mistaken information, psychological disorders and other problems that may arise, right?
