After your death you will be what you were before your birth.
This is a metaphor, that can answer that question on a symbolic level. In other words, like a traditional religious document, it attempts to set down in words events that are larger than words allow.
Before the beginning of time, there was a single consciousness. That consciousness thought, and dreamed an infinity of thoughts, feelings, landscapes, and worlds, an infinity of possible creations. These mental creations thought their own thoughts, and these secondary thoughts, the alpha, also created their own inner worlds.
The first consciousness, in order to allow its progeny full freedom of expression, began to imagine the conditions that would be required for the release of these inner worlds into objective existence As it did so, all of space, time, and matter, including our universe, exploded into being, with an infinite number of dimensions and environments that match the infinite variety of possibilities that the original conciseness had already formed.
We have been given the freedom to create the reality we
experience because we are supposed to learn from it.
Each progeny’s mind grow and create new thoughts and new worlds. The purpose is ultimately the same to grow, to develop, and to create. To express all potentialities within ourselves. Still in contact with the original mind which created us.
When it comes to individuals, we are ultimately part of the entire human race and part of life on this planet, you chose this reality for specific reasons. To determine these reasons, the first places to look are at the basic facts of your life. You are rich or poor, smart, dim, clumsy, athletic, ugly or good looking for a reason. The reason is because living life under those circumstances points you in the directions you are supposed to be going.
In every minute of every day we, along with the rest of the world, create the universe. .
Life is part of an expanding consciousness. What we do in life, may not have permanency, but it is vital for the evolving conscious. We make mistakes in life. Your errors will not be held against you for an eternity. They are learning tools for improvement.
Feelings of guilt are worthless, unless they compels you to correct an unjust deed, and remind you not to do it again. Remember, the people you hurt chose to experience that reality. While we have the power to create what we think, there are disadvantages in life. A very important part of disadvantages, are to provide natural barriers to prompt us into different directions. We cannot force new patterns onto the natural and psychological forces that created us and that give us our physical and mental lives. We only exist because to them.
Some people make life complicated, others in measured doses. When you have recognized the major circumstances and factors which are directing your life, you can begin to understand what trials or adventures will complete your training, or the omega.
Consciousness is a universal property of matter, consciousness is primary, and we are made of matter, and matter sprang from consciousness. In the beginning was the word, and the word was pinging around the inside some sort of Mind, God if you want, and it generated the physical universe. Matter can not be destroyed and since we are made of matter neither can we.
So, to summarize, The meaning of life, is the expansion of the universe, the building of consciousness, and is linked to the workings of the mind from which the universe sprang. So what is the meaning of the universe?

I think death maybe like moving to a new neighborhood, or back to an old one.
