The best bet is also one that I harbor on the level of intuition. And that is existence, being human, and the essential nature of man is grounded in his consciousness. While living, we go around thinking of who we are, but the longer we live, the more the I get the impression that the I we think we are, is nothing but a construct based on our situation. Of all the who’s we think we are, the most astounding one is that we are none, some, or all of them. This is what Khrishnamurti thought.
As we approach death, the idea is, to let go of not who we really are, but who we think we are. As we loose this sense the death of our conscience awareness of who we are is lost forever anyway.
By the same token we don’t come from anywhere, our self awareness if formed, starting as soon as we are born. So we aren’t really born or die, and whatever consciousness is, is probably a field that we share.
It is possible that this process of individualization, which is one of the psychologist Jung’s basic principles, should be followed by a re integration into a whole, as a process of ego death. We can achieve this in this life, and the profundity of Jesus christ comes into focus here, when He says, "Amen I say to You, You have to die now, in order to be with me in Paradise.
I believe in ghosts, they may be cognitive entities who are afraid to die, there may be angelic and demonic entities, with various ways they perceive them self, and are condemned to sustain their identity , through many lifetimes, sometimes improving in the next, sometimes degraded…
The self is perfect but improvement and degradation from one reincarnation to the next, is probably an imminent process, and for these reasons I do not believe in psychological death. There is only life through consciousness, with individualization and re-integration a constant process of a living, conscious Nature.
The logos of the center for me, is best represented by mandala like representations what saves the system by an absolute singularity, analogical to a physical black hole.
The fear in this process is illusive, since the whole scheme is structured with a space/time configuration.
There is no death, because this life, is itself an illusion. It is not real, because there is no real, only a representations of it.
