Death & Digital Immortality – Upload to a New V.R. Game?

Firstly, this is a multi-player game. So, there are more than one player that are logged in, to render the game.

A real player is required to be logged in, for the game to run. Without a real player (or consciousness as scriptures mention) this game doesn’t exist!

The game cannot run only with Non-Player Characters(NPCs).

Death here is just the real player leaving the Uploaded Intelligence-UI or Avatar(which is the physical body here) and logging out of the game.
Post death, the UI/avatar file goes back to disk, where it is stored.

In the next round of this game, some other real player can pick up this avatar/UI as their physical body here and use it and play the game with it. At least, that is how it should work.

But, going by the Near Death Experiences(NDEs) of many humans, there is an after life , where the player is met with entities. These entities could be their loved ones who have passed away or the Gods of this matrix , who then “persuade” the player to get back into the “wheel of samsara” by incarnating here again. In the “Tibetan Book of the Dead”, it is called “bardo” which is the after life or “in between life”, before you reincarnate here.

This is very well depicted in Jumanji Movie. The characters keep getting back into the game automatically even after they are killed in the game. And, they have only 3 lives, after which they get stuck in the game forever and cannot logout.

In the recent past, there has been talk about digital immortality.

Now, having explained what “death” here really is, why would anyone want to login to another simulation?

The proponents of it say, that you can “upload” your parent’s or loved one’s consciousness to the cloud and they can live happily ever after!. And you can continue to be at peace thinking that they are happy .

And carefully, choose what is it that humanity is signing up for , when it comes to Digital Immortality”!

The Black Museum episode of Black Mirror, TV series comes to mind, that shows what “Digital Immortality” truly means!
