Our experience of death is as individualized as our lives are. What we initially experience depends largely on our beliefs. For those stuck in believing there is nothing after death, they will experience that until a guide comes along and helps them understand that what they experience is of their own makng. There are many options for us to choose among as we advance in our understanding. These include how we will incarnate in our next experience. As to the nature of God, Seth explains God is an idea, which sounds strange only because we have no understanding of the great power of ideas, and no notion of the universe in which ideas exist. One definition: God is the simultaneous, infinite explosion of all that is. God's reality pervades all appearance, so physical reality is real. God is always changing, knowing itself through the continuing creations of all it has created.
