I am my mind, not my eyes nor my arms or my stomach. I am my mind, and all else are my mind's peripherals...
I cease to exist temporarily, and enter into a vegetative life under anesthesia or every time I enter a deep sleep when my mind is turned off.
With one's death comes the disappearance of one's mind. Commonly, the mind is personified as soul, and given a life after death to satisfy one's need to survive beyond grave, thus make death accepted with some ease.
You are told that you are a person, and you believed it. In truth, each person is the personification of each's genome, as are all plants and animals.
Genes have lived since the dawn of life, and intend to live on forever. We are their seasonal clothes, and they wear new clothes when the old generation is worn out.
Everything we do, our emotion and drives, are their tools to survive. They are the immortals because we reproduce.
