Buddhist and Hindus believe that mankind reincarnates until the soul obtains enlightenment then the soul goes to Nirvana. In Christianity they believe the soul goes to heaven or hell depending on how that person lived in their physical life. The Orthodox Church believes that if we go to heaven our soul merges with God. The Catholic Church believes the soul must first go to purgatory then proceed to heaven. Others, believes that it is like a drop falling in the ocean the ocean. The drop retains its "dropness" for as long as possible before merging with the vast ocean. The drop is the soul and the ocean is just a vast gathering of souls not a divine being. This would mean that we would lose our personality in the afterlife. It would be like meditating.
Personally, I believe that you retain your personhood. This means that you keep your personality, memory, knowledge, and spirit in the afterlife. I have not researched this topic in depth. I will post more on this topic later. Perhaps, after I've addressed various cultural, political, and economic issues in depth.
