No... Sir.
We are talking about a different matter here... different level.
You are talking about Beings that will eventually reincarnate...
temporary sojourn in the afterlife.
We are talking about seeing the nature of reality and that is
also applicable in the afterlife as well.
IMO, there are experiences and opportunities that are applicable
more so in the physical human existence that the astral afterlife
cannot offer....good not to waste that precious opportunity.
According to my understanding, ...In terms of desires and
yearnings, the 'afterlife' existence may not offer certain
conditions for the deceased Beings. That is one reason why they
eventually reincarnate to a physical existence... to fulfill
unresolved desires/karmas.... This on a deeper level of insight, is
also due to not realising the dream-like, no subject-objective
nature of reality. Had they knew that all is not existing
separately and solidly, they would not have blindly grasp for what
they desire. So, in a way, insights/realisation will point towards
the eventual resolution of our karmic grasping for certain things.
This blind grasping and wanting certain things is due to not
realising that these 'things' that they are grasping do not exist
as they really are.
On a different note, i am not saying that one insight and poof
no more karma. But it does give us a better understanding of what
is going on.
Additionally, having a first-hand experience of our true nature
as the indestructable Presence will allow one to not fear the
absence of his/her beingness. This fear is of the ego-self... which
is not really existing in a permanent manner... This fear is more
than awareness being fooled by its own reflections.
On your website, you claim that you are already out of the
reincarnation cycle long ago. Care to talk about it?

I understand you're helping others to understand Buddhism
better, so it's not appropriate for me to say certain things in
reply here. My point was simply because too many people 'practise'
a faith (not limited to any particular one), wanting to gain
salvation, enlightenment, or hope for better after-life, etc, but
actually have 2 totally different faces - a 'holy' one in front of
fellow faith-followers, and the opposite type in normal times. I'm
not sure what they will expect to gain at the end of the day, since
nothing much has been learnt.
As for your question: again, not right for me to share here.
There are many many people all around the world also back here on
Earth at this special time to help, by voluntary choice. Many of
these people have started their journeys eons ago, and have
already long completed their 'compulsory' lessons and cycles. The
reason for returning will be very very clear in next few years,
even though what I can share may seem totally unbelievable
now. :)
Actually, the core of any mainstream faith is to teach people to
live their lives better and be more spiritual beings,
but taught in different perspectives. As long as people don't
get this, and just study/pray/meditate/chant by rote (and just
hope to get some benefits out of it), but actually learning
nothing, their cycles (of suffering or whatever) continue
endlessly.
