Don't bank on it. IMHO, when you're dead, you're dead. That's it. Finished. Game, set, match, point.

You seem to be saying when you are dead there is just nothing, non-existence. But the problem with that premise is that there can be no moment or condition from which awareness is lacking. The absence of one means the absence of the other. You cannot say a vacuum exists on its own. You can perceive a vacuum maybe, but a vacuum cannot exist, or who would be experiencing it?

Awareness is what there is and all there is, by the very definition of "is".
