What is your personal view on Death and Consciousness?

We are no longer an organism and become an environment for life much smaller than our own. We become like the rocks and trees, and soon rejoin the Earth. Dirt - Can actually tell us exactly what it's like to die.
We, who cared so much about the afterlife, will soon no longer care about death. We, who a decade or two ago cared about certain TV shows or music, every cell in our body is replaced every 7 years, or so. Every neuron is replaced one ion and molecule at a time. That's nearly EVERY atom. We've died already, many times, constantly. We'll die again and again until you devolve into an earthworm, then into dirt.
Religious people seek to exist forever but not all religions.
In Buddhism, Nirvana is used as a synonym for vimutti, release from samsara, as the ultimate goal of the Buddhist path.
Definition of Nirvana: total annihilation of self.

@SW-User I assume that you're an Epicurean:
[i]non fui, fui, non sum, non curo[/i]
I was not; I was; I am not; I do not care

I think we think we are Very Important Creatures and can't quite cope with the idea of an eternity that doesn't contain us, so we elevate our temporary consciousness to the idea of something that can exist with the corporeal. My truth is that we are Very Unimportant Creatures and we'd have a better life by believing that and just being happy to be alive right now.

Brought up in the catholic religion which I have no Time for now we were told heaven or hell depending on how disobedient we were .

I think when we die we just stop existing. I am actually hoping that's what happens as there are many people I don't want to visit with in another life bad enough once in a lifetime. However sad to think we won't meet our children again.

You're an environment for other organism when you're alive. The starting premise is flawed.
