Venting Scared of rebirth

I read your response and replied that if consciousness is fundamental and matter just an appearance within it, then what we call "becoming unconscious" is just a figure of speech. Consciousness itself is never lost, it is just the particular pattern within it that you call "you" that is temporarily halted.

But if "you" is halted, if there is no "you" to confirm consciousness, who says that it exists or is fundamental? "You" only say it is fundamental while experiencing it. What if all "other people" that will also confirm it were just your imagination and they end with "you"? This line of thinking approaches nondualism where the suggestion is that nothing has ever happened.

As I said, the "true experiencer" (universal consciousness) never dies because "I" is merely the content of the experience of it. Other "sub-observers" will continue to exist within it, possibly expressing the same ideas as me.
Yes, could be that all "other people" end with "me", but what I'm describing is not solipsism, since my ego is not fundamental here.
And nondualism does not imply that nothing has ever happened.

All of this is, of course, unfalsifiable. I have simply tried to come up with a worldview with the fewest inconsistencies. For me, this resolves many "paradoxes" in quantum mechanics and the hard problem of consciousness.
