What if the one thing you fear is yourself? I can’t stand behind alone
with my head. It’s eerie/spooky, thinking it could hate me actually. You know not just my head precisely, but me. You know.
Hopefully, with existence, we’ll only be dying in a dream. Which is fine because it’s just an illusory end. An illusion of being the permanent end of existence. So the fear is for nothing. It’s either a temporary end or there’s not even a gap of temporal nonexistence that you somehow undergo. You just remain conscious at the instant of death. And onwards. In that even temporal unconsciousness for you is not an option, because you can never not exist in some way, some form or state. The appearance of going unconscious ever during life is an assumption, since just because you don’t remember what was going on in your mind and reality. It doesn’t mean you weren’t there in any way. It only means you don’t recall what was going on for you, perhaps. It doesn’t mean you were nonexistent in those times you don’t remember anything, per say. No memory doesn’t imply no experience. For instance, when you’re blacked out drunk you’re clearly having experience, it’s just not reco...
What level of brain damage would cause you to detach to your cosmic self or into another organism, how close to death before that happens? What if you are revived from death, i.e. cryonics, provided cryogenic preservation/revival works, do you come back from your cosmic self/the other organism to once again exist as the one who was revived? And then if duplicates of your organism nature creates exist of you in the future, would they be you? As in, quantum fluctuations out of the vacuum pop duplicates of your connectome into existence in uncountable lengths of time. Why do we always seem to be fixed in this particular organism we’re experiencing?
Possibility 1: Solipsism – you’re only as yourself, in this one form (and you’re eternal). Possibility 2: Open individualism – You’re one self throughout infinite forms (you = eternal). Possibility 3: Science/eternal oblivion – each self is finite, and there’s probably an infinity of them. Possibility 4: Each being is eternal but doesn’t experience each other as themself – there’s an infinity of different selves. So which is it? And how can we truly know? ...The most fundamental mysteries. I think we’re really onto something. All of us, which reject the certitude scientists hold in an external objective physical reality independent and outside of consciousness. I think we’re turning the tide. And a new non-nihilistic science including the observer is emerging. It’s wonderful.
