In various cultures, experienced meditators speak of non-dual states where individual minds dissolve into a collective consciousness.

If consciousness is indeed rooted in an overarching universal consciousness, then while individual consciousness may cease, something essential could continue to exist. This idea posits a form of continuity in existence that transcends the physical body.
