When you die, are you taken from the world, or is the world taken from you

One is transitory, the other final

The question is moot. Because, when "you" die, there is no longer a "you".
When you were born, was the world given to you? That would imply you existed somewhere already. But if you did, why can’t you remember it? Your experience after death will be identical to that from before birth. Thinking otherwise is against the evidence of your own experience.

See Newton's third law of motion. ;)

You aren't taken anywhere, you are free to go anywhere.
Your body is nothing more than something to give your soul physical presence here, but it binds you to the rules of physics while you're here eventually it will die, you will not.

I think of it like a light being turned off and the room going dark. The light isn't really taken away, it's just off.

@Wraithorn so how does the light get switched on again?

@Regfries It can't be. It becomes the dark. 🙂

To be honest neither you just exist on another plain . I dont know how else to explain things I have seen and felt . I am not religious or superstitious but its what I have experienced .

You were never separate from the world, your sense of self was just there to make you perform better as part of the whole.
You aren't taken...your time is your time...

@Mandalorian So we simply borrow a slice of time?
@Regfries an a kind of way, yes...perhaps..

Action and reaction are equal and opposite🤔

@Regfries The question arises in Relativity. When two things ('A' and 'B') move apart, which of the two is moving depends on your view point. As an example, imagine being in a stationary train carriage. Suddenly you see the platform moving relative to the train - is the train moving or is it the platform (and the rest of the universe)?

@Regfries a bit of a deep question really 🤔
