The ultimate metaphysical puzzle: conceiving of a state of conscious existence that is completely non-physical, timeless, and devoid of the sensory and neurological apparatus that currently generates all our experience. What does it mean to "be" without a body, without time, without change? Any description (paradise, void, reunion) is necessarily metaphorical, built from the tools of this life, making the afterlife conceptually ungraspable. It's the problem of imagining the software running without any hardware, forever.
Example: "They promised an afterlife of joy and light. The hard problem of the afterlife kept me up: joy is a neurochemical reaction to achieving goals; light is photons hitting a retina. Without a brain or eyes, what would 'joy' or 'light' even be? It felt like promising a blind man from birth a movie marathon—the words are empty of any conceivable experience."
