Paul, if I thought that I would simply cease existing at death as a consciousness...and just vanish...hey, that would be great! That would be just like falling asleep, and I love falling asleep. It's a delicious possibility to contemplate, I assure you. It would mean no further difficulties of any sort to deal with.

And I do see that as a possibility...among various possibilities. I don't see it as the most likely one based on what I've experienced in this life so far, but it is a possibility that I'm open to. Like I said, I'll see when I get there.
