Your conscious existence will last forever, your consciousness will always exist in some form or another. Your mind cannot fathom non-existence and so it simply won't happen.
Consciousness is a product of a correctly functioning brain. Without the physical substrate of the brain, there is no brain function, without brain functions there is not consciousness.
Please tell us how a consciousness can exist without a brain? And not just useless blathering, evidence and valid and sound logic, too.
Remember, there was a time that the human mind could not fathom quantum mechanics.
