If I may share a Vision that was given to me about what happens to "us" when our bodies die, perhaps it will answer your question as it did mine:
Picture a raindrop falling through the sky. A separate, individual drop of water. Complete in and of itself.
It falls in a rainstorm of billions of other separate, individual drops of water. Sometimes merging with other drops, sometimes breaking apart, but mainly distinct. It falls alongside other drops with whom it shares an experience of how the wind blows it; updrafts, gales, cyclones, etc.
Eventually, that raindrop and all the others it fell with land on the surface of the ocean. For a very short time, the molecules that made up that drop of water - that separate, individual and distinct raindrop - remain pretty close to one another. For that very short period of time, there is the illusion that the raindrop still somewhat exists as a distinct entity within the matrix that is the ocean. But only for a short time.
Eventually, the molecules that made up the raindrop disperse. They mix with other molecules from other raindrops that have fallen into the ocean until they are so thoroughly mixed that the illusion of separateness can no longer be maintained.
Further along, the sun causes the surface of the ocean to evaporate and water molecules rise up into the air as water vapor. A mixed, amorphous bundle of indistinct molecules. These molecules cool as they ascend and as they cool, they begin to coalesce.
They gather and accumulate until once again, there is a separate, distinct individual raindrop ready to fall back into the ocean. A raindrop made up of molecules that were once parts of many other raindrops that all fell into the ocean and became one with that source, only to be sucked up into the sky to be reformed. A process that repeats over and over again.
Does this new raindrop, as it falls, hope to see another raindrop it's falling with after it hits the ocean? Or does it understand that once it hits the ocean, it will BE the other raindrop?
