If in death there is no experience, then all you have left is experience. So far in my life, I only have evidence of me being conscious and experiencing. I find it unlikely that my consciousness will cease to exist permanently especially if time is infinite.
- hosh 14y agoNice speculation. I invite you to give this stuff a shot with an open mind, and no expectations.
- chrischen 14y agoI guess I'm just making the point that death being permanent is just as speculative.
- hosh 14y agoFor the people who experienced those insights, it is no longer speculative. They've seen it for themselves. That's why I invite you to practice instead of inviting you to debate.
- goblin89 14y agoI was wondering about the same thing (your first two sentences—well put), but arrived at different conclusion. If my consciousness is the only frame of reference, then how can it cease to exist for me?
- chrischen 14y agoYes that is my conclusion as well. I think you misread it.
- orasis 14y agoThe result for me is that there is no fear of death because there is nothing there, thus nothing there to fear. If experience returned again, that would be fine too. Basically it doesn't matter either way since nothing exists outside of this present experience.
