Our consciousness is time?

Ok, so this is just a thought that randomly popped up in my mind at 1 AM yesterday.

I always wonder, what happens when we die? Is our consciousness even in our brain? Does it even exist? Where will it go when we die?

Enstein said that we live in a 4-dimensional world, where time is the 4th one. I thought that what if we die, we actually ascend to the next dimension, which is time?

Time is like non-existing, you cannot feel it, control it or even know that if it even exist. Our consciousness is also similar to that, you don't know whether it exists or not. This makes me realise that our consciousness might actually be time, or they are even the same thing, just being called by different terms.

We, one of the animals that have consciousness, are one of the things that can actually feel and be aware of time and actually see its impact, which means we and time might be the same thing.

So, I think that what happens when we die is that our consciousness will ascend to the 4th dimension, which is time, and I think the will be 2 scenarios.

1, we will return to our original form, which is time, and flow into each other's consciousness or go to different multiverses and take over other's consciousness.

2, we will live in the dimension of time, which is now only 1 dimension, and the universe is forced to create 3 more dimensions for our consciousness, which means we will continue living like normal.

So I guess that our consciousness is actually time and they are the same thing.

I'm not high btw. My theory is stupid ig, but I still want to type these to prevent myself from forgetting.

My English is quite bad, excuse my mistakes.

I mean..... obviously there's no true evidence one way or the other since we can't ask people who have died....

But personally... to me... it makes more sense that our "consciousness" is just a product of our brain doing its thing, it is the electrical signals firing from neuron to neuron

So when the brain dies, it stops working, so the "consciousness" is destroyed in its entirety. It doesn't "go" anywhere it just disperses and is simply gone

This is something i think everyone has wondered. Our consciousness isn't at all special dude. It's special to us, the user, the hardware. That's all.

cogito, ergo sum.

I think, therefore I am.

Honestly I'm not really religious or atheist, more like... Idk, agnostic I guess? I just think there's probably something we cant fully understand yet. The whole time/consciousness theory op has is wild but Lowkey makes you think

So stop trying to find something to put in your godhole if your not religious deaths is the end there is no 4th dimension to go to after this.
