Death arguably is the most feared event. What happens after death is a mystery because there seems to be no way to verify it. Everything said about it is a conjecture. Let me elaborate on what seems to me to be a good conjecture. If one understands self as consisting of body, mind and soul, self can be said to go out of existence only if all the three go out of existence. We know for sure that body goes out of existence. What about mind and soul? From the way these concepts are defined, mind and soul change constantly but do not go out of existence. But they do go out of existence of the physical world eventually and merge with the timeless.
Let us take only the concept of physical death. It happens at the level of the body. Since mind and soul exist, self exists but since body is also part of self, the self takes on a different body. A civilization advanced enough to realize this will be able to understand that the self exists even after physical death and locate the mind corresponding to the self. It may be even able to establish communication with the mind. Such civilization has truly conquered space.
An even more advanced civilization would be able to locate soul and interact with it. By interacting with the soul I mean, not being influenced by mind and body and a direct communication with the soul. Such a civilization would have reached the fullest human capacity possible in the physical world and would be ruling the universe.
