I'm not getting your point. I am going to assume that like a lot of people you have a fixed conception of being dead and that is you cease to exist. If you believe that, then I can see how you can compare being dead to being anesthetized.
I'm saying being dead may be far different than being anesthetized:
- You die and cease to exist
- You die and wake up from this computer simulation into an alien world
- You die and wake up in Heaven with the God that you've believed in all your life
- You die and are one with the universal consciousness. You return to the ocean of consciousness like a wave crashing on the shore returns to the sea
- You die and wake up in Nirvana or the body of a pig depending on your Karma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana)
And so on. No one can say being anesthetized is like being dead
- alok-g 4y agoI agree with you, under the assumption of afterlife or other possibilities you have listed. The current discussion is under the thread of the original commenter, which says: "... pretty much deconstructed the whole idea of an afterlife in 20 minutes." That is, we are under "if (there's no afterlife)" branch. I am not personally settled on which possibility is the reality. So I think we are in alignment.
- labrador 4y agoGood. I thought we might be.
