Are there really other selves at all

[Night Owl]

There is no futile experience. There is no end of your identity. Once dead your culmulated experience simply join with what was cumulated before. I think the fear of death or fear of annihilation basically comes down to the fear of change. But would anyone go back to what they were before? I don't think so. Even those whose life goes on a downward spiral would probably still choose what they chose because of what they learned from their experience. We always become better and more refined versions of ourselves. The pathways are sometimes more sinuous but still everything is always becoming more complex and strong. Do you have attachment to the you that was 5 years old. Probably not and that you has merged with your life experiences to become a better version that is the you now. It's the same after death basically but you got a lot more experience stored.

The veil makes us forget we are alone but remembering that we are alone is essential to expand our consciousness. It gives you the opportunity to take a closer look at the mirror of yourself that you are here to experience. There is no need to envy those you are not because you already are them so their experience will be part of yours once you're done experiencing being seperate.
