According to Alan Watts, the real you is not a separate entity but rather the whole universe itself, meaning that what you do is what the entire universe is doing at your location and moment; consequently, death cannot involve everlasting nonexistence because nonexistence is not an experience, addressing the common fear of being locked in darkness forever after death.

Alan Watts- The Real YouAdded:
So then, when you're in the way of waking up and finding out who you really are, >> [music] >> what you do is what the whole universe is doing at the place you call here and now. [music] You are something the whole universe is doing [music] in the same way that a wave is something that the whole ocean is doing.
The real you is not a puppet which life pushes [music] around. The real deep down you is the whole universe.
So then, when you die, you're not going to have to put up with everlasting nonexistence because that's not an experience.
A lot of people are afraid that when they die, they're going to be locked up in a dark room forever.
And they I'm sort of undergo that.
