After that part, I don't think I quite follow. A to part II? Open? Bell curve? Oh, you mean some will be at one of the extremes, but most will be somewhere in the middle? Not as many tears? Streets paved with aluminum? Nice Stetsons instead of crowns, maybe?

* And remember: if it were not so, He would have told you!
"Preparing a place" suggests Christ's work is not done;
I believe His prep now consists of the spiritual work necessary to
bring Heaven to earth. I understand the "mansion with many rooms" in a different context, that being an attempt to illuminate an aspect of God, not describe our final place, which we know to be earth.

"The A to part 2 (of your Q)"= the answer to the 2nd part of your Q.
Yes, I think your soul will find itself conscious in the spiritual plane, and whether that is better than now is up to the individual. I don't think free will will ever be magically suspended, as is generally assumed. This is all just my guesses tho.
