The all important cycles within life and beyond life

The life of the spirit is cyclical with each new cycle being affected by how well we handled the last cycle. The type of reality we exist in will continue providing us with the same challenges and benefits. One needs to focus on making the most of the current very challenging/stimulating reality we exist in, since we will continue to face more of the same within this life and beyond this life. The belief in the spiritual theory of our continuous existence in a similar reality helps us to put all of our focus on performing well in it, since we will only face more of it in the future. If we work hard to perform well in one cycle in this life, what value we gain will help us in the next cycle. The same will be true as we cycle from one life to the next. Inventing a different type of reality that is fantasy like after we die, will weaken our ability to put all of our energy into the reality we exist in right now which is the one that counts the most.
