There's something to be said against equating transhumanism with religious concepts, but the world to come is an exact parallel.

I don't know much about Kabbalah because I'm worried it'll fry my brain, but Gilgul is a thing.

I always interpreted sheol as just the literal grave, but apparently it refers to an actual world. Thanks.
