Part 5/10:
Consider the scenario where an individual dies and later, a new consciousness arises, free from any direct correlation with the deceased. Clark asserts that this emergent consciousness shares the same continuity of experience as that seen in the LifePause scenario. There exists no subjective gap between the departure of one consciousness and the arrival of another, suggesting that subjective experience is not confined to the individual.
When we accept this perspective, we uncover the profound realization that identity may not be as singular and individual as traditionally believed. As Clark notes, every conscious being shares in the universal identity of consciousness; we are collectively interconnected.
