Um, yeah, we'd all like to BELIEVE that we don't die and that we live
on forever, but then we have to think about the difference between
what we'd LIKE to believe and what exists as Reality independent of
us. That is if you believe Reality exists independent of us! Because
if you don't, then all bets are off and we cannot have a meaningful
discussion about the nature of objective Reality.

I believe (and there seems to be plethora of objective evidence to
support!) that Mother Nature is very conservative and does not create
or abide separate states of Reality for different biological creatures
(of which humans are one) or their temporal variances of being. And
that the state of your subjective reality after you die is very
similar if not identical to the subjective reality of you before you
were conceived. Which by the objectively observable evidence seems to
be non-existance!

I do NOT believe in an Unconditioned reality BTW!
