You were born this morning. You will die tonight.

[Spaded]

You don't know this, but when you woke up this morning your consciousness was born. You will live your life normally, as if you were born on your birthday, as if you had actually lived all of your days, as if this wasn't your last day on earth. When you fall asleep, your mind will shut down, and you will die. Your brain will keep your body alive, of course. Your body's autonomous functions will continue as your body lies consciousnessless ( i just made that word up [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]).

In a few hours, a new consciousness will be born inside your head (after it dreams, of course), and it will inherit all of "your" memories. Since nothing has changed in your brain, the new consciousness will believe that it has lived every day of "your" life as its own, and will go on living as normal until it falls asleep and passes on to the next consciousness. All of the nerves inside your head are where they should be, so the next consciousness will inherit everything you know. You, however, have passed into the timeless, unknown void.

You may think that my philosophy is BS, but do we really know? Can we disprove that? Consciousness (did i actually spell it right?) is not something that is understood by science, and may never be.
