Monists such as myself, believe that when the brain dies, the personality that was contained in it's trillions of synapses, ceases to exist.
Yes, interesting. 'persona' originally meant 'mask'--as in social mask. so what we THINK we are is not necessairly what we ARE in essence which is more than JUST our mask or masks.
Heard of the death/rebirth experience? this goes way back to the promordial beginnings of religion where the person experiences a kind of death whilst living, and from there is 'reborn' feeling a new energy for life.
So thats surely what the BIG D is. the actual rejuvenation of life energy, which really doesn't belong to any static form but is a living dynamic river of life which includes death, because you can't haave life with out death
