On the subject of life after death, I have heard several people remark in closing that when we die we will conclusively know whether or not our personal experience continues beyond our biological demise. In all such discussions that I've been involved in, or near enough to overhear, participants readily accept this statement with unwavering agreement.
I think they're all demonstrably wrong. And I hope you disagree with me at this point.
In the event of your death, you may find that your personal experience in some capacity persists. If this is the case, you can experientially conclude and actually know that life in fact continues after death. If, on the other hand, death precedes nonexistence and you die, it will be utterly impossible for you to experience in any manner whatsoever because you, by definition of nonexistence, will not be present to do so. Therefore, if your death is to reveal, the revelation itself will necessarily be a confirmation of an afterlife. Otherwise, your death is simply not to reveal—at all.
At this point I still hope you disagree with me. Please interrogate and perhaps insult if appropriate.
