So what is the difference here between falling asleep (into deep sleep) and death? I should be "getting absorbed" into "universal consciousness" every night, no? :),(reply>), @kyjo I disagree with the conjecture. I hold that, for one's self, there is absolutely no difference between being unconscious as in dreamless sleep and being unconscious as in being dead.<br>"Being unconscious" is a phrase containing a contradiction. One is not being when one is unconscious. There is a problem in the language. In "is unconscious", 'is' means 'existence' and unconscious means non existence.<br>I fear I may not be addressing your stance.<br>Is what I've written meaningful to you?,(reply>), ​@REDPUMPERNICKEL Obviously I'm not talking about general difference between sleep and death. I'm specifically reacting to the conjecture that when you are unconscious you "get absorbed into a universal consciousness". My question is why am I not being  "absorbed" on regular basis  since I get unconscious every night when I go to sleep.,(reply>), There is no difference until you reawaken.
