Yes, I'm on a hangover, I'm not sure what I'm quite getting at... i know that I'm not explaining it right though. When I thought about it yesterday night before sleeping it seemed very deep.
ANyway i cant get my thoughts across very well... i'll try another shot (for those interested).
I've no fear of death or even the pain of getting my head chopped off. But it sounds intriguing to just relax and go out peacefully. But at the same time, it's your absolute last second of your one and only life... wouldn't it be better to just use it and maybe trigger something inside of your brains that maybe allows you to see something you've never seen before? I mean, when your head is chopped off, you are still going to be alive for couple seconds (maybe minutes?), so like... I think it will have a great impact on you when your head is chopped off.
Maybe the brain doesn't have to be used to control the body parts, as its disconnected from them, and the full brain can be used to fully focus on what you want it to focus on. If you try to burst yourself with adrenaline maybe you can supply yourself with a rapid bloodflow for your brain to be active for a couple of seconds. And the mind might get one of those episodes where a couple seconds look as if they last hours. So like, you try to hold on and analyze every micro second before your death, use the information to build your understanding of death and kinda like "be there until the very last moment".
It's definetly something that needs a lot of gutts. But maybe the consciousness excists of multiple parts. And when the last part remains, you can already have a feeling of how death is like since the rest of consciousness has dissapeared. The very last moment, if you do it right, you know the 1 answer to the question nobody knows.
