Novel (Afterlife book) Advice from helpful people
Feb 15th, 2012 at 1:20am
 
Sorry for the length...  Grin
My whole interest in the subject of writing a novel revolves around Flaw of Paradise, and i need some advice about some of the ideas I want to present. Keep in mind that I want this to be a logical depiction of the afterlife that isn't religious. Not religious, since this is a novel and i don't want to target a specific group of people. I would very much appreciate the help because I want to create something really great here. No story elements will be presented here, only basic ideas.

1. Your 'Home' is the size of a planet, so you have room to work with but you're not overwhelmed by the far reaches of the galaxy. Does this make sense? You also have, pretty much, unlimited power to create and alter anything as you see fit.

2. Would the concept of a guide make sense to you? I would imagine that, in addition to everyone you meet, a guide that has spent its entire life living along side of you, learning what you need and want will accompany you through your 'home' learning process so it can help you live happily. It can change your 'home' and your mind so you don't overwhelm yourself with power and it knows what you need to make you happy, rather than what you think you need to make you happy.

3. There is no hell, again not religious, if you did wrong when you were alive, your home is 'infected' and you cant enjoy much of anything. The more you learn and redeem yourself, the more your infection disappears. 

4. You can pretty much do whatever by yourself, but when visiting the 'homes' of other people then you have no power. If you and the other person are 'soulmates' and are compatible, then you can merge homes and live together with no restrictions. Of course, the trial necessary to pull this connection off takes time.

5. If a person with a crippling desiese or handicap dies, they heal slowly in their own special homes and are not cured immediately, unlike having a minor cut or bruise which would be healed immediately after dying.

I might post more later, but those are the five main points that i want to get advice on. Do they make sense? Will they offend anybody? Can you see this working in a realistic depiction of the afterlife? I would REALLY appreciate the help.

Your 'Home' is as big or small as you want it to be-- it could be a small house by a lake or a personal Solar System.  Remember that the afterlife is the same "place" as where we dream-- meaning, with the right intent, thoughts can be things.  So it wouldn't be too difficult to *think* a personal universe into existence.

Of course, many people prefer to live with others.  I've found large "cities" in nonphysical reality that people put together, though they aren't always modern Earth-like cities.

Absolutely, everyone has at least one "Guide" that assists them in both physical and nonphysical reality.  'Round here, the more generic term "Helper" is preferred by many.  And really, one's Guide doesn't need to spend a lifetime learning about you, as Guides tend to be one of our Selves, from the same Disk or Oversoul.

There is no hell in that there is no man in the sky named god sending people to one, but people often get trapped in hells of their own making.  As I mentioned before, thoughts can be things, and that means all the negative garbage in one's head can come to life after death.  Perhaps someone doesn't know that they've died, and keeps living an earthly life in their own dream-scene. 

Then there are the Belief System Territories.  This is where groups of people, usually religious in nature, come together sharing the belief that they are in "heaven" or perhaps "hell."  There tends to be a natural migration out of these hollow heavens and hells as folks slowly discard their beliefs and move on to more free-thinking afterlife areas.

If you and the other person are 'soulmates' and are compatible, then you can merge homes and live together with no restrictions. Of course, the trial necessary to pull this connection off takes time.

You have much power no matter where you are or who you visit, but you will not be in the free-thinking areas of the afterlife if you have ill-will against someone.  You will, rather, find yourself among others of the same persuasion.  "Like attracts like" is a fundamental rule in the afterlife.  If you have no desire to impose your will against another, you can go wherever you please.  Otherwise, it's easy to get "stuck" with other mischievious persons.

5. If a person with a crippling desiese or handicap dies, they heal slowly in their own special homes and are not cured immediately, unlike having a minor cut or bruise which would be healed immediately after dying.

Human minds have created a large number of "healing" and "rehab" centers in the afterlife areas.  This is where, say, stroke victims can unlearn the limited way of living they experienced on Earth.

Your description is accurate on some points, inaccurate on others.  I have some resources for you:

Hello Jake:

Have you ever read "Dante's Inferno?" I ask this because the main character of this story was led by a guide. You might want to make certain that you don't duplicate what Dante's Inferno does.

Hi Jake,

Your concepts to be put into a novel seem very intriguing! Except for the first one, they are also classic since they show up through the centuries, but usually without a plot and characters to hold it all together. Best wishes for its completion!
