The Framwork:

The fact that none of the religions (or any other ‘views upon life’) actually describe the creation of our physical universe in a way that aligns with scientific understanding - raises some questions.

On one hand, religious texts are very specific about what awaits us in the spiritual realm. On the other hand, they remain silent on scientific explanations. This paradox leads me to wonder whether we should trust anything that comes from ‘the other side,’ whether conveyed through written text or personal visions and experiences (such as during meditation or religious awakenings). Why would any Creator of life and the universe choose to keep scientific explanations hidden, while being open and honest about matters related to ‘afterlife’ ?

Just imagine the impact an ancient, divine description of the universe's creation would have had on us.

(...if this description were later confirmed by science...)

- on the other hand -

If we once again shift our perspective and consider everything from a slightly different angle

(...that everything might not necessarily been solely made for us...)

 - then -

In light of this, it seems far more reasonable to assume that any creator would take

a lot of measures to prevent the truth from emerging.

- why? -

Because the consequence of 'us knowing the truth'

 would, at the same time, mean the loss of every learning opportunities for this ‘something’ within our universe.

- and -

Ultimately, the entire purpose of having a physical world would be compromised.

All in all - what better way exists (to keep this universe as the best learning ground for this ‘something’) than by hiding the truth and providing us with copious disinformation? Disinformation in various forms, including tantalizing glimpses into the so-called ‘afterlife.’ The latter would be particularly effective, given that we lack every means to verify its authenticity.

What if EVERYTHING we experience and/or encounter with reference to 'afterlife'

- also are just parts of the same framework?

Meaning that elements like 'heaven', 'hell', 'astral worlds', 'nirvana' or even 'angels', 'helpers', 'ghost', 'souls', 'spirits', 'astral bodies' etc etc etc - serve no other role than maintaining an infinity number of views and opinions among us humans.

- Why ? - 

Because, the underlying, real purpose;

is nothing else than just ensure that this 'something' can fullfill it's true goal.

Living a life in physical surroundings and gaining physical experience and knowledge

(...based on events, experiences, happenings etc...)

To fully understand this, we might have to realize that our lives and the universe we live in - might not be more than a 'pimple on the a$$' on what could be called;

'The Existence of Everything'.

We might have a situation like below;

...and most of them...are probably not present in our universe.

The situation could even worsen, at least from a human perspective. Imagine if the Framework were a closed system - where nothing enters or exits except for this mysterious 'Something'.

In such a scenario, not only would concepts like 'heaven', 'hell', 'astral worlds', 'nirvana', 'souls', 'angels', 'spirits' vanish, but  EVERYTHING we consider to be 'us' - our minds, consciousness, ego, personality, intelligens etc - might be nothing more than 'waste products'. - as they only serve a purpose solely within the confines of the Framework, with no other utility whatsoever..

 
Hence, we might follow a process similar to this:

Let's go through the various dimensions from the diagram above. Starting with the dimension we are most familiar with - our physical, space-time universe.
