One of the greatest illusions is death. You are connected to your body, but you are not your body.
If you see a laser pointer on a wall, you don't believe that point is the laser and its source.
You would automatically trace the laser beam back to its source to see who is operating the laser
pointer or projecting that laser pointer.
It's the same with the consciousness of a soul. It projects a part of itself into a reality.
And when you die, only the body you inhabited dies.
Think of sleep. Even if you do it every night, you can't pinpoint the exact moment you fell asleep
the next morning. It's the same with death. When your body dies, you won't be able to determine
the exact time of death. You will respawn within the Matrix. You will be instantly shifted into
another reality. You probably won't even remember your previous reality because you'll be immediately
bombarded with new memories that justify your new life. You'll remember at lightning speed where you
went to school, who your parents are, and what you're doing in the place where you find yourself.
I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. Death doesn't exist at all, and because it doesn't,
you have to transition to another reality if you can no longer cope in your current one. Reality
collapses, and you respawn in a new one.
That's the nature of a game, a simulation, that you're in.
The soul is immortal. All that gets lost is the ego you had in your previous reality. In the reality you've
transitioned to, a new ego will immediately be waiting for you, complete with its corresponding memories.
The Matrix is insidious, but also perfectly constructed. The illusion is perfectly engineered. In most
cases, you won't even notice it. You most likely won't even question it. You might be momentarily disoriented,
but then you'll immediately function in the new reality.
New memories. New life. Every existing reality has its own stored memories, which you receive instantly.
This memory data is part of a new illusion you then find yourself in.
This is the missing moment of death and the respawning.
