Analogy for "its not me" argument
More actions
It is said that another body producing an identical physapath, identical consciousness and identical ixperiencitness is still not you. This is like saying that a song played on another iPhone, radio, computer, etc., identically is not the same song. Or a movie played in another theater is not the same movie. We can have identity of parts of concepts, ideas, properties, things etc. without having identity of the whole. We can have identity of the structure and functioning of matter without having identity of the bodies that produce the structure and functioning. We can have identity of TV shows without having identity of TVs sets. We can have identity of a color, like red, without having identity of the object that has this color. There can also be partial identity of TV shows, colors, structure and functioning that an object produces, ixperiencitness, consciousness, behavior, emotions, abilities, shape, size, usefulness, production, construction, placement in space and time, etc.
The science of superimmortality predicts that when there is, for you the original, identity of ixperiencitness produced by two or more bodies, whether the consciousnesses are identical or not, and no matter how these consciousnesses are produced, you experience these consciousnesses.
If "you", "me", "I", are only defined as a singular body, then clearly "you" are not another body. But if you are consciousness and consciousness that you experience covers many different possible sets of experiences corresponding to many different structures and functionings of matter then you can experience conscious life after death, again and again, in many different ways in many different places and times.
