Great read James! I love how you articulated the metaphysical view of death.
Death is not the final annihilation of identity (the physicalist view), but a transition. Under idealism, the brain acts as a "reducing valve" for consciousness. So, death simply releases awareness back into a broader, non-physical, transcendental multiverse.
This view alleviates a deep root cause of suffering: attachment to the physical world (money, fame, appearance, accomplishments, etc.)
The goal of evolution is to develop our consciousness and not the material playground that temporarily holds it!
Thank you, Jason:) Our fear of mortality and attachment to the physical have been distorting and detrimental. But these are cultural issues we can and should address.
