I understand what you are asking.
First, I never asked for this to happen to me. No one ever does. It took me by surprise. I had to read everything I could find about what was happening to me. I landed on two, specifically, because their experiences mirrored mine; Carl Jung and Neville Goddard. Since, I have come to know that it is definitely a pattern. And it will vary for every individual. There isn’t enough room to name every experience, but I wrote about many in earlier posts.
Now, the Bible. The Bible is very symbolic and filled with metaphor (while many events have enough proof outside the Bible that some stories are true). I bring it up because one of the things I picked up was being able to see symbols everywhere, in every conversation, picture, event, even objects. I attended and graduated three universities Cum Laud and grew up in a religious home, knowing the Bible pretty well. But none of it prepared me for what came. I had to keep it to myself. I told absolutely no one, for fear they would think I was crazy, or worse, disown me.
But with my eyes opening to symbolism and turning to the Bible for help, I started seeing/reading an upper layer story in each book, chapter, and verse. This new story is directed to each of us individually, yes, talking straight to you, telling you who you really are (trying to stay away from trendy New Age vocab.) And what I read did not counter the original stories.
I can tell you that, plain and simple, you and all of us chose the life we are living. We knew what it would be before we came. But coming here, you forget everything so you can experience life outside of God, sort of speak. It is even said of Christ that he emptied himself when he came here. And Christ is in you. He experiences all the mistakes (sins) and horrors, and He takes it on himself so you are not to blame. (“Forgive them for they know not what they do.”)
We can only judge ourselves. But no one is going to judge you. And those that haven’t learned? They get to choose again and come back for more learning, to this place; sheol, place of weaping and gnashing of teeth (hatred). That is Earth.
I know without a doubt from my own experiences that no one really dies. And there is no eternal punishment. It is all here as we choose it.
I hope this helps. I don’t say that I know everything, but what I have learned makes sense to me. :)
