I feel like I won't die

[JEDIYoda]

You will not die, technically speaking!
One day you will go to sleep and wake up and it will be very ,very hot and gloomy or it will be peaceful and tranquil and you will find yourself sitting at the table with all manner of foods before you.....

You will die, technically, actually, legally and medically. You will do this once only.
Any food offered will be wasted, unless eaten by the mourners. The temperature will depend on cremation or burial. Either way you won't be bothered.

When you are early twenties or younger you typically feel invincible with life if you haven't had a major health problem or accident already. I used to feel that way. Then you get old. It's not that you feel yourself aging every day, it's that once you get another decade or older, you can feel the difference in your body to how it used to be. You realize you are just another lump of meat that will eventually fall apart. So instead of worrying about the inevitable, I focus on life in front of me.

No you will have no recollection of the past. You will not know that you are dead.......as I stated...You will not die, technically speaking!

Once you reach a certain age, you spend your days trying to figure out how to stay alive, not fall down and break a hip, and how not to lose your mind. We were all young and immortal one time.

Repeating unevidenced nonsense does not improve its validity.

If what you say is true, that you will 'wake' with no memory then it follows that you would have no personal identity. You will have no idea who you are or were, nor where you are, or why. How horrible. Who thought that up?
Far better to be dead.

Hope that offers a crumb of comfort.

Time, it's well known (at least by the cognoscenti) is an illusion. Less known is that death is an illusion. There are various viewpoints of death. Food for thought.

I think its strange how an eternity has passed, and then suddenly here I am. It took no effort of mine. So many events took place and then a little creature developed and he thinks he owns his slice of time, as if its his to lose. I came from impersonal matter, and yet I have a sense of ownership and importance about myself. Its mine and its important and can't be replaced.
The same thing happens all the time when others are born. Being dead is not an experience, so its nothing to worry about. There is only one side of the fence anyone can ever be on, and that's the conscious side. No one mourns the loss of all the people who could have been born in your place, and it makes about as much sense to fear your own death.
When you are born, the light turns on, but you weren't there to see it turned off. When you die, you won't see it turn off then either. All you ever know is that the light is on. There is no alternative for you. There is life for you, and no death.
When someone watches you die, they think they see your light turn off, but that's from the perspective of their own light, so light is still the only thing that is real and experienced.
Even if our entire planet was wiped out from an asteroid and all life died, that's not the end. Our planet wasn't always here, but then it was, and the light turned on and all we know is the light of consciousness. In time (whatever time is) many things would happen in our universe. Maybe another earth with people like us never formed again. But eventually our universe would fade away, and an eternity later, whatever happened to bring our universe about, would happen again, and an earth will form again, and then suddenly the light turns on, again. There is no lapse is time, no eternity experienced, no darkness experienced, and suddenly here we are again, nothing but light all over again.

This is why I think I won't die. If I was capable of dying, I wouldn't be here now.

If you cannot/won't die... then what is the value of time?

 

[inachu]

Your Akashic records will remind you that you once lived. You will experience every joy and pain you ever had in your past life in less than 2 seconds and you will feel more alive than you have ever felt before. You will reflect on what you just witnessed for about 5 minutes as if you had a religious experience but as the moments go on the lucid memory of it will fade.

Been there done that.

Time isn't like a flowing river like it would seem. Who says time must be a thing, and have value? Just keep appreciating the illusion of time. That works for me.

I plan to live forever, so far, so good.

 

[Dr. Zaus]

Your being, and every life you touch, will echo forward into the future of humanity, and for as far as our species spreads across time and space.

I think there's going to be a purification of that being and all of former existence: that part of you that existed in love will be re-created, embodied, and given a world that you never tire of. I also believe that the part of you that was outside of love will be forever removed from who you are.

Now you are made up of both love and hate; later all that will remain of existence is love. Existence could end right now and be re-established as only-love, but that would end who you are and every opportunity you have left to be more loving.

Like sleep you don't remember? It's more like having the ability to abstract makes us the only animal with the ability to comprehend that some day thinking will end.

You can abstract all day, but like trying to wrap your mind around how big the universe is, your mind will never fully understand it.
