Space, time, humankind, etc. can only exist if they are observed by a conscious mind. If you lose all consciousness and cease to be, then all else ends with your death and loss of consciousness.

When someone else dies, it does not count because you personally are still filled with consciousness and the ability to observe. Therefore, all that exists resides only in your own consciousness. And what we call the universe and time ceases with your death.

As the Hindus have been known to say — you are or you aren’t.

Enjoy life and be responsible; we are all counting on you for our existence.

What really gets me is that if death is totally final and there is no form of consciousness after death, then I don’t even get to have a split second of knowing whether I was dead or not.

I choose to believe consciousness is eternal in some form — be it an afterlife, nirvana, reincarnation or spiritual bliss of some sort. For to be “totally dead” is utterly unexplainable to the living. This is self defeating.

And if you want shite to warp your mind, forget never-ending eternity and try to fathom no beginning.
