I really like the metaphor of consciousness as a drop separated from the ocean during bodily life and returning to it (merging with it) after death. (This is what my strongest bufo/5-meo-dmt experiences showed me, but I guess one can't really say if the idea created that or the other way)
- If a drop separated from the ocean and returns to the ocean, is it not still existing in the ocean?
- Are you fully identified with memories? What if you had a head wound and forget your past- are you still yourself?
- After the drop is given back the ocean, is it possible that a new drop will become separated and hold all the same properties as the first droplet (minus its specific history/memory)?
