What is the lifeforce that animates us? Electrical impulses, neurons firing etc do they alone explain the source of what is contained within us? A spark.. a spark and a watery meatbag. There has to be more to us than that.

Everything you know is by your senses. Touch, hearing, sight etc. Everything you know is this physical information stored in your organic brain. When your brain rots, it all rots. Everything you have learnt, including language, will die. That leaves you with the most basic spirit, as even consiousness is the result of those senses working together to create an inteligence, an awareness. You are a physical organic structure and as soon as that stops working, you stop. Everything ceases to be. So if you wanna clutch at something, it should be the spirit, the possibility that you are something without the body. Something so basic you could take to any organic life host. Religious promises cannot possibly exist, as much as 2+2 isn't six, and for the very same reasons.. |

I think there is another aspect we don't understand. Not 'spiritual', not physical. More to do with a residue of ourselves that we leave behind, on a quantum level or from some warped multidimensional perspective. Where did all this energy come from that spawned everything? Where will it go? Will there be.. Another configuration of the same matter? |

@ ungers - 31.03.17 - 06:43am Religion apart, i do believe when you die, it is as if you never were.....not even blackness.......nothing........i mean, where were you 100 years ago?...... Sorry, but if ur dead, ur dead........ So if you were ever to have some kind of consciousness again, a near infinite amount of time could have passed in what would seem like a second to you. |

If there's nothing then there will be no sense of self to know there's nothing. There won't even be nothing to realise there's nothing is what I am trying to say.

@ slwnoris - 31.03.17 - 09:58am Good the sooner the better as far as I'm concerned, the late great Rick parfitt said in an interview when he died for a few minutes before doctors brought him back, he said there nothing, it just goes black. if it goes black it means he wasn't dead or there was something. nothing won't have a colour. |

Dr Robert Lanza (voted 3rd most important scientist alive by the NY Times) is an expert in regenerative medicine and scientific director of Advanced Cell Technology Company. Before he has been known for his extensive research which dealt with stem cells, he was also famous for several successful experiments on cloning endangered animal species. But not so long ago, the scientist became involved with physics, quantum mechanics and astrophysics. This explosive mixture has given birth to the new theory of biocentrism, which the professor has been preaching ever since. Biocentrism teaches that life and consciousness are fundamental to the universe. It is consciousness that creates the material universe, not the other way around. |

Lanza points to the structure of the universe itself, and that the laws, forces, and constants of the universe appear to be fine-tuned for life, implying intelligence existed prior to matter. He also claims that space and time are not objects or things, but rather tools of our animal understanding. Lanza says that we carry space and time around with us like turtles with shells. meaning that when the shell comes off (space and time), we still exist. The theory implies that death of consciousness simply does not exist. It only exists as a thought because people identify themselves with their body. They believe that the body is going to perish, sooner or later, thinking their consciousness will disappear too. If the body generates consciousness, then consciousness dies when the body dies. But if the body receives consciousness in the same way that a cable box receives satellite signals, then of course consciousness does not end at the death of the physical vehicle. In fact, consciousness exists outside of constraints of time and space. It is able to be anywhere: in the human body and outside of it. In other words, it is non-local in the same sense that quantum objects are non-local. |
