Unity and the Afterlife

[AnthroHeart]

I hope in the afterlife we get to have the desires that were never satisfied while on Earth.

I personally believe that you do.

After this life there is a period of transition and orientation where you can explore desires you didn't satisfy physically. The astral world is much like the physical world, but simply more mentally malleable (though, I wouldn't say it is "more" malleable than your dreams -- there is a subtle difference that is difficult to describe -- your thoughts don't instantly spring to life like in your dreams).  Since there is no time, it can last as long as you want it to. Some beings have little need for this and simply "wash off" their human form/habits and feel no need to play around with those earthly desires, while others feel a great attraction to do so. And then, you will eventually and inevitably become mentally bored with that, and you move beyond this orientation point and go back to spiritual study, examining various past life decisions/behavior, and planning future incarnations with your "soul cluster" that will further elevate and balance your karma.

Someone on this forum once posted that on the devachanic plane you experience all of your desires from life.

In the astral plane when I'm dreaming my sense of smell is not all that, so I can't imagine how real things will seem.
