I don’t believe it is possible for existence to end. The Human ego will end, but existence will never cease.
As I lay dead, as my brain deconstructs into molecules then atoms then quarks then whatever smaller forms lie below ad infinitum, the same infinite amount of components will eventually become a part of another being. Do cells has consciousness? Does a rock have consciousness? Not by our terms. But they still exist. We always exist, just not in the same form. We are but snowmen, one second ourselves, the next a pile of powder, half of which is used in another snowman later on.
I had some pretty obviously shitty ideas in my time while under the influence of psychedelics, but I only came to this theory after analyzing my last experience for months on end. It’s something I can’t properly describe in words. I guess there isn’t a better way to describe infinity other than simply saying ‘infinity’.
That’s just it. Eternity is a word that describes infinity’s ever-lasting existence. Infinity itself goes in every impossible direction and encompasses every possibility humans cannot imagine. And when you realize how our molecular composure is infinite (things get infinitely smaller, atoms then protons then quarks etc.) you’ll see that we’re all part of the same infinite mass just rearranging our infinite components. In a sense, we are one. The only reason we humans consider such things and create religions is because of our ego, which makes us emotionally afraid of death and only slightly instictively afraid.
I guess you could say that we humans are the most flawed species due to our ego. Nature and wildlife just move on with time…
