No, I'm stating plainly that you're wrong because I've identified something that causes you to be you that does not exist after you die. And no, the universe is not full of self-sustaining actions.
My feeling is that the macrocosm reflects the mircro, do you not see correlations between the natural world and the human body?
If you do not identify yourself as being a part of the cosmos, so be it. I'm stating plainly that there is energy that comprises you, right now, that will continue to exist after your death. No, it will not be in the same form as it is now, but it will exist.
If the actions of the universe are not self sustaining, then what sustains them?
