Along these lines I always remember what Dee (from the old forums) said about Abraham and his willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac: (in so many words) "He had to really know it was God speaking to Him." I think actually she referenced Real I, as in Abraham had to have Real I to be able to follow that command. (Behind Real I is God.) I.e. he had to have an almost absolute development of faith.
So this is an example of this eschatological development, inward and upward, from Imaginary 'I' to Real I that puts you into contact with God while in the flesh, and this is how you truly know, or can know, that there is something there to be going to at death. (Even human beings who will merely recur, I think this can be said, intuitively and instinctively 'know' that when they die they will continue living in 'some way.' They don't have to know about recurrence in their time, but they still have the vague assurance that death is not annihilation. Otherwise people would act very differently in many ways obviously... It's more difficult to 'know' you will truly go to where God has many mansions and be glorified, yet this is what separates people who are really going there (I stand by that, but only as standard from the human end, and not as anything that limits God or what the Bible says)...
