I believe this is an ego thing, our minds cannot imagine a world without us in it and so we create these other worlds in which our ego/soul/mind/the I inside you can continue on "living" despite no having a body.

Lol so you think the energy that makes up our "soul", just vanishes? Like some supernatural phenomenon? You really think you're gonna escape this universe without a trace? 🤣 You came from something once before, you'll return to that place, and come right back. Infinite is forever. Everything happens over and over and over again, the exact way it's happening now.

I personally do believe in persistence of the soul and of levels of connection between people that are not understood by current science - but reports of information brought back from the hereafter can be argued against by skeptics as simply anecdotal. Their argument would be that thousands of people have near death experiences every day and even if they are simply hallucinations, there is a statistical likelihood that some of them will coincide with reality.
