My Theory on Death

Here is a fun question: What happens when you die in a dream? 

Need not complicate it further  

 

Yes, it’s a transition. You always wake up into a story.

I once had a dream where I was being chased and I jumped off a cliff into water, but it was so high there was no way I was going to survive, so instead of landing in water, I landed in pure blackness. While I was there, I thought there was no way out but then I realized the dream wasn’t over if I didn’t want it to be. So I turned the emptiness into water and rose out of it. 

“What was it like before I was born?” and “What will it be like when I die?” are the same question. 

Also, if you have experience with anesthesia, that’s helpful.

I think that death is the end of subjective experience. I remember Leo saying in one of his old video- Nothing will remain even black and white will be gone.

But I could be wrong. And I am open to the possibility of altering my view .

@Rishabh R I don’t think he ever said that. Especially not in his video on death.

Death will be exactly like your experience before birth. There was not even a perceiver to perceive nothingness. 

At first glance, this can seem scary. Until you realize that if nothing can be known on either side, the only thing that can be known is in-between. So the in-between is all that can be known - all that can exist.

In other words, you must exist, because it's impossible to know non-existence.
