The essay presents a philosophical experiment to overcome death and question the very fact of one's own existence. The core argument made is that one doesn't really exist in the traditional sense, if our metaphysical foundations are relentlessly investigated, boldly questioned and naturally redefined.The paper seeks to examine and re-evaluate the most primary notions of existence, death, non-being, language, nothingness, infinity, space and time, truth, and as several less common ideas, arising as pertinent to the theory, such as 'question', 'what' and 'is'. This process of undermining and reshaping of the traditional epistemic and ontological frameworks leads to the emergence of a concept of a 'unified singularity', as a new form of reality. A new metaphysics which merges all totality of existence, including the Self, into one indivisible whole, thus doing away with both being and death as superfluous notions, and begging the question: 'do I really exist?'
