    I don't want to say "Einstein said" , but Einstein said "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one". Plato and many other greats described the same thing. He used the famous "allegory of the cave".

    It would seem time hasn't invalidated them as yet.

    If we don't believe in gravity, it still affects us.

    Until time invalidates us.

    The statement that 'reality is a projection of consciousness' is either true or not. If it's true, then when we die, we become that which we were all along without knowing it

    Then we aren't invalidated.

    What we have believed whilst in human form would make no difference to what happens after death - if it's true, that is.

    We can validate we are not invalidated. We may or may not remember there was ever an earth. Getting too far ahead of myself.

    Nisagardatta says that unless we have achieved liberation whilst in the human form, we will be reborn with some sort of karma to work through. Again, not saying it's true, but it would certainly explain a lot. He says this not as a belief, but from his own direct experience of a deeper level of reality.

    I hope he soughts himself out before the earth is no more. Would it matter?
