In fact, i would therefor argue that it'd probably closer to accurate to say i never existed in The first place, than it is to say that i am immortal.
Of course, we are opening a Huge vat of semantics here.
If our thoughts are a series of electrical/chemical reactions, then they too are energy, always and forever existing, in both potential and physical change. I'm not arguing that we'll be individually conscious of any of this after death, that's way too convenient. Yet somehow the energy that comprises them still exists; I don't know what "vessel" will comprise that energy or what will become of the energy that comprised a memory.
For me, the significance of all this is ethereal.
