It reminds me of a verse from the Bible--

The unspiritual man does not receive the gifts of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. "For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct Him?" BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST. (1 Corinthians 2:14-16 RSV)

Fascinating stuff

Someone once mentioned that psychics are studied by scholars, but scholars are not studied by psychics. I don't know if that is true or if it means anything, but who knows it might be useful sometime.

Since you brought up the Bible....

....the dead know not anything,....(their) memory is forgotten. Ecclesiastes 9:5

there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave.... Ecclesiastes 9:10

"Life after death" is found ....when? Bible answer; when Jesus comes back....then the dead in Christ will rise, then we (who are alive to witness his coming, and who are also "in Christ") will be caught up together with them....1 Thessalonians 4:13 thru 18.

The dead who are not "in Christ" remain in their state of 'dreamless sleep', as it were, until the final judgement.

In the Bible, death = 'dreamless sleep', and the wages of sin = death.
