Dualism or idealist monism as the best model for survival after death data

I would be curious why feelings of love are so prominent in so many afterlife accounts ...

Seems I also have something to say about this (oh dear, what have I got myself into?).

My observation is that love is the central and prime driving factor within consciousness. Religions put it first too (although couched in their terms such as "for the love of God" which gets [mis-]translated to worship). I also think that the word love is used to denote, not some kind of heart-fluttering emotion or intense liking but rather the unconditional giving of oneself to the needs of others. Sharing, caring, concern and empathy are all synonyms for love. "Love" is thus the catch-all word that informs us how to become better evolved by rejecting selfishness and embracing unconditional love. It is *the* positive driving force.

So I think that one of the first things that guides and helpers share with those recently passed over is their love which is probably something so intense that it dominates those afterlife accounts.
