DON'T FUCK WITH MY TITLE BITCH

This thread got me thinking about sentience and conciousness. How does that occur? I am unconcerned with some aspects of death, my atoms will disperse and reintegrate into newer, more worthy patterns. But I am already mourning the future loss of my sense of self. Is my sense of self really the collective sentience of each living particle of me? Why can't I tell if that's the case? Perhaps I need to meditate sometime and see if I can separate it out a bit. I can accept the idea of my physical and nonphysical "selves" being dispersed and recombined into new and unrelated things/beings. But my mind flees from the concept of the "end," of nothingness.
