Afterlife
When an individual dies, they die. The person as a consciousness ceases to continue. The self awareness and the experience of identity stop. The only thing left of us individually is our Life Story, the sum total of the events of your life and what DNA you leave behind.

A reality based view of the afterlife however is that we are all part of a single organism that started on this planet a billion years ago. All life is evolving together and we are part of that evolution. What we do in our brief existence matters and it has an affect on what we evolve into.

Our individual afterlife can be viewed in the impact that our role in life played to affect the future. We Own Ourselves and we can choose to be a positive force in the evolution of humanity, or we can choose worship a false reality and waste our existence. If we choose to live in Right Relationship with Reality then our individual accomplishments will live on and the meaningfulness of our existence will be remembered. If we choose to shun reality then reality will shun us and we will be forgotten.

Thus, in the Church of Reality the afterlife is the future. It is where our story goes to live after we die.
