Between 24 & 25
"Therefore I suppose that everything I see is false. I believe that none of what my deceitful memory represents ever existed. I have no senses whatever. Body, shape, extension, movement, and place are all chimeras. What then will be true? Perhaps just the single fact that nothing is certain."
I think what is being said is that nothing you hear is entirely true. There is always something in the statement that can be contradicted. He also talks about body and shape. Here he could meen that we all eventually die, and are no more. Its almost as if after many years gone, we become false and no longer exist in the world.

It's easy to agree with what you are saying. I have always tried to take things as subjective information as opposed to objective. To question everything in which we pass in life. Everything in which we see, touch, feel, hear may hold some kind of other meaning. This can come from the auteur's given interpretation or from the observer's interpretation, thus changing the original meaning.
I also see the connection of when he talks about the body and mind to when we die. Although alot of what he is saying confuses me, I do agree with your post when you speak of his interpretation of things after we die.
I believe too some extent, nothing is certain. Facts are spilled with some doubts and false, but that's life. I do not mean we become false when we no longer exist? So when we die we become wrong?
