That is far more a comfort to me than claims of old mythology.
To know that while my consciousness is finite, knowing that the atoms that have cycled through me from my conception and will go onto other things after my death, I don't have to cling to my consciousness being prior or after, just knowing I had this brief finite cognition, I call my brain in motion, is enough for me.
I find that amazing enough without a pre life or afterlife. I am not that narcissistic or selfish to think I am special in the history of a 13.8 billion year old universe, knowing in our planet's 4 billion year old history of evolution other life has not been so lucky. I am lucky yes, but I am not special.
Beautifully put. The universe looks upon us with pitiless indifference.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
