The desire to continue physical existence forever comes from misunderstanding consciousness. Death is the liberation from physical bonds - individual consciousness rejoins the universal mind, a field that extends beyond spacetime, like a droplet of water returning to the ocean. The separation we experience in our physical forms is illusory and the desire to ‘live forever’ is meaningless, because on a non-physical level we already do. Transhumanists are pursuing a lost cause, chasing an illusion, clinging to material phenomena that are ultimately transitory, sandcastles before the waves.
This is the most articulate and poetic comment I have ever read. Thank you. Sandcastles before the waves is such a powerful metaphor. Perhaps a title for a future poem or song.
