>You can't have immortality here unless you disidentify with the body
I agree, but in order to remain a conscious entity YOU need to remain YOU.

Not really. I've had many dreams where I was completely conscious, but absent of self identification. I drift around as awareness, and within my awareness the stories of other beings than myself are manifest, and I watch with perfect clarity their experiences, without my own inclinations getting involved in their actions. Then, at some point, I come back into self awareness. Its very comfy being absent like that, watching, but quite disconcerting to my ego when I came back to ego consciousness, that it was unecessary for my presence and experience to take place. Its some deep dissasociation, but without that level of detachment I would be unable to witness events that are tens of thousands of years yonder in the past, or future, without my own self disrupting my attention and presence in such places. It is the epitome of samsara, but also gives me more to appreciate about my present moment life, even with its struggles. I guess I just miss the people I see, whom now live other lives, and I know there path and my own have significantly diverged in space and time.
