It is my opinion, not in any dictionary, that what is likely after death is Nirvana for all of us- nirvana as extinction not as beatification. I suspect the self does not live on, and I think Buddhism, for me, means trying to get one's mind around that concept. Karma and reincarnation seem to me unnecessary glosses, and I don't believe them. But I can easily accept that the self is extinguished in death. I cannot believe in reaching the extinguishment of the self before death, or in demons or spirits, or rising from the dead, or angels or devils, or little green men from mars, or Santa, or Satan, or anything.
