I have the same speculation about things but I sure don't think I have arrived at the Truth. I actually know nothing about the afterlife, but I do think about it a lot. It's a difficult subject.
If you know nothing about "after life" may I suggest that there is this man in history --- Jesus of Nazareth.
Now one of the things that Jesus is renown for is
death and resurrection from the dead. He may know something about your issue of "After life".
You know, someone challenged me lately and said that I could not find a verse in the Bible teaching us that we had to believe in Christ's death. He said it speaks of Christ's death a lot. But as aa focus of Christian belief as an object of our faith, he challenged that the DEATH of Christ is not explicitly taught as an object of faith.
I am checking on him and think he might be right. But he pointed out that the resurrection of Christ is explicitly taught as an object of faith -
"Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead ..."
Anyway, this may not be relevant to your interest.
I did want to say though that I think the one you want to listen to on the subject matter of "After Life" is the One who DIED and LIVED again.
You may respond - "Well I don't know that that happened." Okay, granted you don't know that it really happened. Still, not being sure, I would still recommend that you listen to what He has to say about it.
It could be that you are wrong. And if you want information about Life, Death, and After Life it makes sense to listen to the Person reputed to be an authority of resurrection and life -
"I am the resurrection and the life ..." (John 11:25)
