I went for a surgery yesterday under general anaesthesia(GA) to remove a lump on my body rear.
This was not my first GA surgery as I had a pneumothorax and wisdom tooth removal done under GA.
The standard practice under GA is still the same after all these years:- 1) intravenous injection 2) placing a mask over my nose/mouth and 3) inhaling the GA gas (which has a smell now) 4) knocking out in less than 10 seconds.
The unconscious state under GA has no feeling, no recollection, no dreams, no colours, no sense of time, no meaning, no attachments. Nothing. It just allows me to appreciate what death is about which has equivalent emptiness. Applies to pre-birth.
Body and mind have no meaning.
A stark reminder that while life matters, death doesn't. Death has no meaning.
