Given: You must believe that there is another existence after one passes away.

Do you think an afterlife is different for those who willingly ctb vs. those who die of natural causes?

Do rich and famous celebrities experience a better Afterlife then those unknown working class folk? Or maybe the opposite - do the meek have a better afterlife than the celebs? Or is each Afterlife somehow created by the individual regardless of their morals or social standing?

Here's my belief. The afterlife is a limitless Astral Plane where an individual will end up at a place or dimension that matches their belief or desire.

I believe this type of afterlife is the most fair. It would prevent conflict between souls or spirits who would overreact and most likely cause a shitshow if they found out their deity is different than they perceived. Humans are a species that's too obsessed with being right after all.

To find out if people that commit suicide versus people that don't commit suicide will have a different afterlife you have to understand intent. You have to understand that we create our own reality in the afterlife. But it's not a reality that is full of ego desires being filled. But rather it's the first thing that you do without thinking which is what you will do in the afterlife. Meaning where you heart is that is where your actions will be in the afterlife.

Let me put it to you like this, enlightenment itself doesn't create a perfect soul. But rather enlightenment with good actions will produce a perfect soul. Meaning having a protected sheltered life as a celeb won't get you some high awards in heaven. But rather it's those that help others that will be rewarded with a better reincarnation.

Basically you create your own reality in the afterlife. With one big caveat. To gain the favor of those high in power you must help others on earth, help end suffering on earth. That is what gains you favor with them for your next reincarnation.

OK let's put it like this, a child that takes his life because his GF broke up with him will have to relive another life that is full of the lessons he missed in this life. Whereas a person that learns all their lessons in this life and commits suicide won't have to endure those same lessons again in their future life. Meaning it's best to learn as much as you can while here. And if you don't you might have to start from scratch in your next reincarnation.

And I am not convinced that a soul is forever. Maybe if you get blown up in this life, your soul just might have to start from scratch. Meaning each piece of the dismembered body and soul will have to reincarnate separately again. I think it could be an ego idea that we will live forever as one individuated unit of consciousness.

One last thing, the meek do not inherit the earth. The real meaning of that verse in the bible is those that have swords but do not use them will inherit the earth.

No, I think if afterlife exits it doesn't depend on how you died

Yes there is a lot of truth in that. Even many meditational religions say that if you get a bad death that it could send you to a hell realm. Like if you have a bad trip from a psychedelic and take your life. That has got to be the worst possible time to die.

I think when we die, we all go to the Big Rock Candy Mountain.

I think afterlife can exist if somewhere far away in the universes there is a certain physical process which resembles our brain structure. But in this case this process won't be affected by your actions.
