This is a very big topic, but in short:
- There is a soul - this is something that doesn't belong to the material world in which we are now. The soul is a part of God, this is all the best, this is peace, harmony, Love. The soul manifests itself in the material world through any sincere good deeds. The soul is immortal, there is no concept of space and time for it (it is in another dimension, in which there is no concept of materiality).
- You (who you feel yourself to be) is a person who has a soul and all these bodies (which I will talk about in the next paragraph).
- A person has many different bodies that are simultaneously in different dimensions (material body, astral body, mental body, etc.). Human is the totality of all these bodies. At the moment, most people pay their attention most of all to the material world.
- A person has a mind. Information into which is loaded from a single information space of the Earth. In different religions and philosophies, mind is called differently. For example: devil, satan, ibis, animal nature, etc.
- Mind from the material world. When a person has forgotten about his spiritual part (soul), when he uses his mind ignorantly (more precisely, the mind uses this person), then we can say that such a person worships Satan or Satan took possession of his soul.
- Mind can be used for good if you control it. The main thing is to understand that images, thoughts and emotions (the reaction of a person to thoughts) are not yours, it doesn't belong to you. If you owned it, you would be able to manage it. But thoughts come and go on their own. But the personality can control these thoughts and accept only positive ones.
Different religions/philosophies and teachings use different terms, but the essence is the same everywhere.

This was all precondition. And now the answer to the question:
A person (together with a soul, mind, and different bodies in different dimensions) manifests itself in this material world (is born here). If during this life here he doesn't merge with the soul, but merges in the mind (which is material and mortal), then after death - the soul is reincarnated and manifests itself in this material world again, but your personality remains to live without a material body, without a soul, it's called hell. Because in this state, the person finally realizes that he was wrong during his lifetime, but it is already too late, and now this person simply observes and cannot do anything at all. This state of personality is called subpersonality.
Therefore, it is better during life to hold on to the soul as tightly as possible and strive for it. So that after death your soul will not be reborn in the material world, but become a step higher and you personality+soul become an angel.
All your past lives (subpersonalities), they are all attached to your soul all this time, but when you become an angel, then you liberate all these subpersonalities and they disappear, and you move on and are already in the spiritual world (which has nothing in common with material). Any description of the spiritual world is a distorting mirror. But we can say that there is nothing better than the spiritual world. It is sometimes called paradise. God is also there, but not in the material concept in which many understand it. Soul and God - this is more about sensations.
I hope I answered your question.
I may be wrong about some details, but the essence is something like this.
