Have experienced some personal experiences too sacred to share details, however

I know life continues. You will be reunited.
We are eternal beings having an earthly human experience.

If you can, spend as much time as you like developing your inner connection with the Spirit of Truth within you. Inner peace is the reward for communing with your higher self.

Overcome any/all weaknesses, attachments, and addictions. Attachments are the seeds of unhappiness. Love all authentically.

Caveat - we don’t have to like behaviors but letting evil rob us of inner peace through hate is evil’s goal. RESIST!

Yogananda spent his life studying and writing about the Truths you are seeking.

All his writings are at link below

Go to the Book 1 of 2 for his 1200 page analysis of the words of Jesus Christ as written in the Gospels based on Yogananda’s analysis of the teachings the Baghavad Gita & Vedanta.

Very rich yet accessible explanations of what the purpose of this life is and the soul’s progression through eternity.*

Silence is the Altar of the Soul

If you practice silence you can improve your intuition. Keep a note pad and pen nearby

Imagination connects intuition

Ask your inner Guide questions and listen for short relevant answers. Over time, this improves.

Namaste

The Patient Sincere Seeker of Truth is always rewarded

Namaste
Hope the link works. ☺️
