You'll need to live a life fairly directed by contemplation, if not enhanced by Entheogenic Excursions which are ALSO directed towards contemplation in order to receive answers. Answers cannot derive from outside yourself. They arrive in their completeness as Gnosis, mystical unity wherein "Head and Heart are not apart," as poet Paul Reps put it. Scriptural writings are to be read on four separate levels, according to Jewish exegesis. This is understood to a large extent by the mystically-inclined in Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christianity, not so much in my experience in the mainstream Protestant denominations, and definitely not among any of the 200 some odd smaller denominations. In Judaism, there is 'pardis,' an acronym which forms the basis of the English word 'paradise,' and a reference that the words of Jesus to Heaven in Luke 23:43. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pardes_(Jewish_exegesis)

Post-mortem conditions vary from religion to religion, but one gets the idea that as one dies, time undergoes a transcendence and the various psychospiritual moments of death, ascension, judgement, resurrection occur in between temporal moments in a Parmenidean timelessness. That is to say, these are not temporal events which follow one another because duration is not characteristic of eternity. They are depicted as such in mythic language in the New Testament, but timelessness can only be experienced in mystical unity, which is what I wrote above, and it is ineffable so it cannot be described linearly with language. Like death, one has to experience it for oneself. This whole trip is shrouded in Mystery. Do not expect 'form,' neither of yourself, nor a glowing personage upon a throne. Post-mortem experience is probably not a Chick® Christian tract. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick_tract

Similarly, reincarnation is taken literally among literalist Hindus. Buddhist rebirth is a completely different concept which all too many Westerners confuse and conflate. Regardless of the concept of transmigration (or metempsychosis) of which there are Greek and even currently Jewish schemes, the unique individual comprised of lower aspects of the 'soul' (psyche, ψυχή) which include ratiocination, memory, and other functions, do not survive death. A simple and  impersonal (or perhaps transpersonal) awareness of our core 'soul' remains untouched by death (according to Plotinus and others who have followed Plotinus in Christianity such as Meister Eckhart). This again is why mystical experience is prepared for by a contemplative lifestyle. The experience brought back from Unity to mundane life results in Gnosis, a Knowing that transcends both words and faith. When BBC journalist John Freeman asked C.G. Jung if he believed in God, Jung replied, "I don't need to believe...I Know." Satisfactory answers will require preparatory study, but more importantly, experience that results in a priori Knowledge, Gnosis.
