My body and its container will dissolve into this stream of energy and if I am lucky my conciousness might somehow become a part of this new network of energy allowing me to become as a god.
You know that idea is complete bullshit right? Your consciousness is contingent upon meaningful structures of matter, a black hole would utterly destroy all meaningful structure, even if it went anywhere, 'you' would be gone.
