I see no compelling reason to imagine any one will experience a personal afterlife. You'd have to look at it impersonally at best .. to imagine that what you are essentially is one part of it all looking at the rest. So you know, a drop returning to the river and the river goes on even if our individuality becomes submerged again.
But heaven and hell are easy to interpret as fleeting psychological states. Of course hell would seem unreasonably long and heaven would always seem to fly by. Literalism is the enemy of an adequate theology.
