In afterlife A, after a life well lived, the 'ethereal soul' is separated from the 'physical body' and joins an eternal, blissful community of souls and 'God' (no physical body).

In afterlife B, after a life well lived, the 'ethereal soul' is separated from the 'physical body' and leads a next life, in a new body, in a new world with rewards from the previous life carried into the new world. After the life in the new world ends, the 'ethereal soul' leaves the physical body and leads into another subsequent world under the same conditions. In this version of the afterlife, the soul is on an endless journey of moving from one world to another carrying accumulations of moral rewards from previous lives into every new life.
