Is there any difference at all ... What I mean is .. Like when you get enlightened, and you discover that you are god .. is that the exact same thing as being god after the body decays? Would that then mean there is no use of the body? but more importantly im curious if that means you will live on forever? like being immortal .. and that you get to experience the joys of life forever .. eating ice cream .. going on adventures .. just living life and exploring every area of life forever Im trying to ask a question that I don’t think I’m even asking properly lol  ... Say Im living this life right now, and I think to myself damn life is so good .. success in business, friends, girls, etc. I don’t ever want to die. I want to keep living a good life .. and a few decades later I get enlightened. When I am enlightened would I realize that that good life I was thinking about continues forever? Will form and experience that I experience now, go on forever? or after the decay of the body, all form ceases to exist and its just the complete end of me? lol
