It's nice to pretend sometimes AKA the result of excess seratonin?

After you die, you go to the best place ever imaginable. All the people you love are there and they are as happy and healthy as can be. You are also reverted back into the healthiest and happiest you ever were in life, you can dance and jump and run - if you were never happy in life, you finally experience happiness and it's better than you could have ever imagined it.
Everything you love you will have. All the best drugs. Endless virgins to fuck. Drinks and food that give you full body orgasms. You are completely blissful, but there is always room to become more blissful still. You have kingdoms to your name filled with jewels and you can sing objects into existence. Your singing voice after you die is so beautiful that it brings God to tears of happiness, and God showers you with grace. Even if you do bad things in your current life.
There is an eternity of joy.
God is good.
Stay with me here.
There was a time in the past, an eternity ago, in which we lived in a terrible place. The worst things imaginable happened to us in this place - rape, being murdered over and over again, etc. The worst kind of entities you could imagine dictated to us what we would spend our time doing - things we didn't want to do. The entities would give us extra arms and legs just to do their tasks for them, and then take away all our arms and legs and roll us around on a ground covered in spiky pebbles and needles. We were in terrible pain all the time. It was an eternity of suffering.
One day, something happened. We somehow broke free of this terrible place. Actually we never did. But we did. It never happened but it did, that's why we are here now. We are somewhere in between the most terrible thing and the best thing. The afterlife I speak of isn't even the best place, because there are realms that are better than that but in ways that are incomprehensible to us because of our limited way of seeing the world. And the bad place I mentioned was much worse than I could describe, but in ways that I can't explain.
So we are somewhere in eternity and we are somewhere in the middle, and things can only get better from here.

I support the idea of an eternity of joy. There is of course the Eternal Now and Nirvana. But I sincerely believe now that there are dimensions upon dimensions where much sacred learning and play is occurring. I think all pain and suffering in this dimension is self-created.
What did the Greeks call it? Elysium?

Wherever the hero may wander, whatever he may do, he is ever in the presence of his own essence — for he has the perfected eye to see. There is no separateness. Thus, just as the way of social participation may lead in the end to a realization of the All in the individual, so that of exile brings the hero to the Self in all. joseph campbell For, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. jesus

Dream on. This is just death anxiety IMO.
