Where does one go after death? When a man witnesses the death of another, what he sees is that the organism stops functioning, and, because his intellect tells him he knows that it is the body that dies and that he himself, the one who was there a hundred years ago and who will be there a hundred years hence, cannot die. He also knows that this that survives the physical death does not have the form that he had when he lived. But he cannot envisage the possibility that THAT which has always keen eternally present does not need a form in order to be present because he cannot give up the idea of a separate entity a "me". ... Man finds it extraordinarily difficult to accept the total annihilation of the phenomenal object with which there is identification as a separate entity. Such identification persists beyond his concept of the death of the physical apparatus, expecting the "me" to exist in some other world. In other words, he cannot give up the idea of space-time representation for the "me", and he asks: where does one go after death.
