   Does it not follow then we could only ever experience the state of   
   existing?  If this is the case, then any possible state of the unverse,   
   where we can exist, will be what we experience.  That is to say, we can   
   never 'not exist' as long as thier is even the remotest possibility of a   
   universe, any universe, where we exist in it.
