it doesn’t outlast death so nothing happens to it after death. death guarantees the terminus of consciousness.

I suppose it depends on what you mean by consciousness. If you mean a the unified field of sensation and thought presented to an individual from waking up through sleep, it’s going to be tied to a body and set of memories. That person becomes permanently unconscious on death.

If you mean by consciousness “all consciousness,” all experiencing of consciousness in the universe, then it ends when the last conscious thing dies. But of course it exists as a permanent frozen block of spacetime and is forever in another sense.

is consciousness limited, though?

in a sense of what if it's unlimited?

then how can it end?

and if it can end and it is limited, can we expand the limit?
