To live eternally we must fundamentally alter the self-concept to one which can live eternally. We must undergo transfiguration.
There are people today who are seriously committed to believing that Jesus (Christ) is alive today. They believe he is speaking and listening to them. It is a conversation to be understood through mysticism and its content is shaped by myth, but Jesus lives on nonetheless. Jesus really does live eternally, as his self-concept is in the hands of others, for good or ill.
