When you turn your TV to a channel it doesn't receive, do you wonder what episode of "I Love Lucy" is playing under the static, or do you say "hmn, nothing on this channel"?Okay you justified yourself with the stuff that is not mysterious. But what of the conscious mind, my thought, what is that moment to me when i should so die to you. That moment i want described with observation. Im going on trip with some friends be on tomorrow night sorry wont respond till then.
There is nothing about you, in part, that survives as a whole after death. What mystery do you find in that? Death is obviously a mystery to you, but it is not a mystery to "us" as a species. We understand why we die, how we die, and what happens to the various bits and pieces after we're dead. We also understand how we come into being, how we experience the world around us (or anything for that matter), and how life differs from death in each of these regards. There is no mystery here. There may be mystery or intrigue in why people would imagine afterlives, or how their culture and environment shapes those beliefs, but the working part is absolutely not mysterious in any way that I've ever seen the word mysterious used.
