Does a "True Self" Exist?

It depends on the weight of the person's actions. A scale I guess you could consider it in a way. We are weighed and whatever force was exhibited most through material life (3d) is what force we attract to upon material death.

Just woke up so a little fuzzy still. Sorry, hope it's legible.

Sounds like an attempt to de-mythologize the Christian idea of heaven and hell to me. Do you have a reason to think that our energy, which cannot be destroyed, will retain a personal coherence and subsequent ongoing experience after the body breaks up? Because without that, then "good energy" and "bad energy" are just good 'ol "energy."
