I haven't seen it yet ($), but R. Alan Brill's new book likely has additional sources, I have another list I will have to add and post. Here is a translation by Yaakov David Shulman of the central text of Rav Kook in Korn's essay with an additional note on the meaning of "olam haba";

I also did a post on this Rav Kook that extrapolates to other similarities between after'life' experiences and phenomena accounted by non-Jews;

There's also the famous Tiferes Yisrael on Reuchlin and Jenner - not conscious abiders of the Sheva Mitzvot as far as history accounts - that can be found translated here (search);

A very powerful piece by R. Adin Steinsaltz I believe I may have posted before regarding Sheva Mitzvot and religions extant today;
