Your question reminds me of an episode of the science fiction show Star Trek.
A group of aliens, the Talosians, imprison the crew of the Enterprise.
They diligently try to escape, even managing to create powerful weapons to break through their prison wall.
But nothing works - they can’t scratch the surface.
This doesn’t make sense, because the Talosians don’t have very advanced engineering.
Eventually, Captain Pike realizes the only logical explanation:
The Talosians are master illusionists.
His crew is close to destroying the prison wall; they just can’t see it.
The ego’s one trick is to make you think it’s invincible.
It tries gets you to run around desperately, or switch practices constantly, in desperation.
Steady, peaceful contemplation wins the race.
What you’re doing is making a very big difference, and you’re much closer than you think.

‘The ONE’ is cosmic consciousness.
What does it mean when you wake up to being 'The One' in a spiritual awakening?
Essentially, your consciousness merges into ‘The ONE’.
The mind’s ‘I’ is a dream and merging into cosmic consciousness is awakening.
The mind’s ‘I’ is like a fish is asking, “Where is the sea?”
And
To be with ‘The ONE’ - waking up to, “There is only sea.”
That is why the fish in the sea is not thirsty.

It is rare to see one. He or She is a rare poetry!
Here are two…..

If you ever saw or even felt one, you will never be carried away by the prose of the intellectual
If you never saw or even felt one, it is most likely that you take prose for poetry
Be a poet yourself and you will never miss the poetry…..

This depends a lot on the cause of death, of course.
But here’s something that I can’t make heads or tails of. When you die, provided it’s not an extremely fast or traumatic death, your brain sends a specific signal to shut off the heart.
I mean, why? Why does the body even have that function? It makes no sense to have a “due process” for shutting the body down; such a feature could not evolve, since it can’t be selected for (or against, for that matter).
About the only explanation that makes any sort of logical sense is that we’re actually in a simulation and it’s time to quit the game and start over with a new character, but that’s also rather dumb, right? I mean, it would be some sort of metaphysical equivalent of rage-quitting. If you can make a game like this, that’s some shitty design for the endgame, isn’t it?

My Brother 66 recently died of bowel cancer and he asked that very question from the Doctor at the hospice, her reply was that he would start to feel tired and stay in or go to bed more often, he would become more unsteady on his feet as he became weaker and would stop eating as his organs would start to shut down. A couple of weeks ago I was supposed to pick him up and take him for his hospital appointment. He answered the door but said he couldn’t make the appointment as he was unsteady on his feet, he was also unable to focus properly (I put that down to the medication he was taking) but he asked me to go to the shop for some food but he couldn’t think what he wanted so I said I would get his favourites, he never touched the food and following a fall in the early hours he took to his bed, the hospice staff were wonderful and came to the house and made him comfortable and placed him on a medication driver, he did not wake again after that but for the next few days he was surrounded by our big Irish family, we sang Irish songs to him and he passed away peacefully and on the wings of love.

That is a very good sign. At the time of death, we enter a dream-like (or sometimes a night-mare like) state where things totally beyond our control happen to us. We are forcibly taken out of our bodies and whisked away from everything we are attached to. Being able to chant Hare Krishna or Narayana, or any other name of God in such a state is most desirable.
If we can chant the Lord’s names when asleep even if we aren’t being dragged from our bodies, we will be better prepared for the time when we are. We also get the benefit of chanting the Lord’s names.
I don’t want to spoil anyone’s day, but the time when we leave our bodies, will come, and probably sooner than we planned.
