It was my first post ever.
Never thought much about it to be honest. More looking for answers than trying to give them. Thanks for the time though sorry to have given you something to circle over.

A rock is unconscious. Does that mean it must have been conscious some time?

This cycle of balance is evident in all we perceive. If i am alive then i surely must have been dead. Not the same as not existing because when i die i leave my body and it can be observed deteriorating ...[text shortened]... e absolute. And yet like a breath it too will have to return to something else.
Thoughts please

Simple. Only after you lived did you exist. If you are dead after that point then you were alive. If you do not exist you either died or never existed in which case there is not a you.
