It's scary to think about this, but it's likely true. Our consciousness is a product of the collective biological processes of our bodies, and once those biological processes no longer function (i.e. once we die), we will no longer be conscious. We can't comprehend not being conscious forever, so some of us imagine we'll be conscious in an afterlife, while others accept the uncomfortable yet undeniable truth of the finiteness of our consciousness.
