Is It Computationally Possible to Directly Experience Death Itself?
“You see, there’s this extraordinary idea that haunts the human mind that someday you will cease to be. And yet, I want to suggest something that might seem rather startling at first. You will never in your own experience encounter your death. This isn’t wishful thinking or some spiritual consolation. It’s a logical consequence of the nature of consciousness itself.” — Alan Watts
“Look at it this way. Just as space accommodates all objects without itself being an object, perhaps consciousness accommodates all experiences without itself being an experience. And just as space is not affected by the objects that appear in it, perhaps consciousness is not affected by the experiences that appear in it, including the experiences we call birth and death.” — Alan Watts
