Pretty much an open question for anyone to add their 2 cents to the conversation

For me for most of my life i believed that once the lights turn off you have few minutes left before your brain suffocates and that's it. Maybe a bit harsh, but i felt like that's just how it goes. I never entertained the idea that there's something past this point.

After last year though (however short lived and insignificant this experience was) I started to wonder if maybe there's something more after biological death. Since there's the spiritual, maybe we're destined to exist there in some form once our bodies fail us. Of course every religion has its own answer, but maybe you have some secret insight and want to share it.

And if there's something after we die, do you think interactions with spirits here may affect what we find on the other side ?

Damn I sure hope so.

Spirit Lover's opinion is 'no' in the sense that separating the two with a dividing line isn't an accurate way of looking at physical life and spiritual life.

I believe we do continue on in some spiritual form after death, but the more pertinent question is: Will we remember, or realize, who we once were? Will our memories of this life carry over? I honestly have no idea, and I've made peace with not knowing.

I do not believe there are afterlife realms of eternal punishment or reward. That's an old carrot-and-stick employed by the ruling/priest classes. We should do good regardless of what awaits us beyond this life.

That makes a lot of sense. Some people interact with spiritual while being in physical realm. So those two shouldn't be separated by a fine line or condition "when X finishes proceed to Y". They can coexist if you put some work into it.

I hope we do remember. What's left of us if we don't have our memories or skills ?
