Duration, which is the passage of time without end, is not the same as Timelessness. Yet this is the kind of survival which those who ordinarily talk of belief in immortality usually mean. They want the ego to go on endlessly, to endure forever, even if they want only the better side of the ego to continue. They want this spurious self to be perpetuated and ignore the real being whose shadow it is.
