## Resource

Some thoughts on the afterlife while I was going through my novel. I came across some youtube videos and podcasts where people claim to have had very weird yet detailed experiences of the afterlife, plus discriptions of an organized society beyong anything else you might have heird about. Wery weird yet, to be fair, unrealistic stuff. But fun to talk about. Cheers!
