Ego is programmed to be desperate for self-preservation at all costs.
This means ego will conjure up fantasies in an attempt to satisfy this impossible desire, delusions like Heaven and reincarnation.
But how do we really know that anything non physical persists after the disintegration of this physical shell?
If the body is completely erased, is it not ego's pride to insist that ego itself can persist even without the body that generated it?
On the other hand, laws of thermodynamics suggest that no energy in this cosmos is ever created or destroyed.
This gives us an amount of certainty about what happens after death, at least for the living who witness it: the energy that animated the person is not gone and never will be, and has no "elsewhere" to go in such a closed system as this.
So to suggest that the physical shell will cease to be, but a remnant of personalized consciousness shall remain, this strikes me as another absurdity from the desperate ego.
This is just more separation from wholeness driven by ego. Wholeness, oneness, and connection are not found in an afterlife consisting of separation from everything else that existed beforehand on Earth.
It is found by connecting in the present with everything here and now.
It seems more like we are waves, we think ourselves real and individual, thanks to our egos, and we have a moment of realness to us, but in fact we're nothing more than the energy of the sea itself.
This connects me to everything very strongly, because you are not a drop of water in the ocean, you are the ocean in a drop of water, like me.
