Is there life after death? What is consciousness?

[The Cockslapper]

What happens to our consciousness after we die, is it a byproduct of our brain’s function or something more?

[Pierce Dalton]

It's the other way around, your brain is just an antenna receiving a signal.

[PaulKrawitz]

That's the thing, no one knows...

Because all those that know are... well, dead.

All jokes aside, I'm not religious but I do believe in certain things anyway.

Those things are:

• Karma
• Spirits
• The Soul
• The Grim Reaper
• Life after death*

*Be it in Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, the Grim Reaper's Boneyard, or as a "new birth".

what spooks me out is when a loved one or a family member has died
Some times you fell there in the room with you after they have died
Like coming back say bye to you it sends a cold chill in your bones

Is there life after death? What is consciousness?

Well when i was hit on the head with a hammer, I was all but dead, But somehow i could feel myself pulling myself back to life.

This is why i have no idea about god, the devil or anything, I just don't have a clue.

Perhaps a crude or somewhat simple description is that "consciousness" is tangible, it can be touched or seen, where as "subconsciousness" is intangible, it can neither be touched nor seen.

Some would say that there is no death, only continuation in another form. Or perhaps it is only death in a biological sense, our flesh, our blood our organs, but are we more than just corporeal beings?

Conventional science does not have the answers yet & such questions continue to remain in the realms of philosophy.

I could tell you but I don't believe in revealing spoilers.

Would finding out before your time comes make things better or worse?

Worse, I guess. Because the more you know, more questions you have.

[Dadpool]

After we die we fight the angels in heaven with 4 guns, two in hands and two strapped to high heels, we summon demons from hell and ancient torture devices to finish off weak ones while some black dude from hell with gives guns to us after the ones we have get jammed.

[Spirit]

what if consciousness can't disappear? we don't know what causes consciousness so maybe once it exists it can't dissolve

[Doctor Opta]

Heaven, paradise, but only if you worship a very specific long haired guy in the middle east you've never met.

[TGC> The Games Collector]

Well... there's one easy way to find out. Just kind of hard to report after.

[Zoey (Trans Rights!)]

We do not fully understand the natural processes behind consciousness, but to add my perspective (and I acknowledge it might sound like hippy pseudo-science), I believe consciousness is a natural byproduct of the way the universe operates. Given enough time, whatever process led to the emergence of my consciousness is likely to occur again. This idea is especially plausible when considering certain hypotheses, such as the Big Bounce, which suggest that the Big Bang is a recurring event.

[Xero_Daxter]

To be fair when I oof I just want to not exist anymore. Heaven sounds boring to me. Do we at least have internet so I can troll God on his Twitter page?

You first

I doubt anything exist after we pass away.

The reason I say this is because there have been thousands of religions over the years. You can see how religion evolved from our earliest ancestors. We worshiped rocks, animals, weather, the sun, moon and as societies progressed; became safer to speculate about our existence, we started to worship Gods and then ONE God. And we got very good at storytelling, and developed stories around RA, Jesus, the Buddha, Muhammad, etc. Even when you look at the idea of heaven and hell, if you study these ideas historically you can easily see how they evolved. And how the idea of a soul evolved. The earliest Jews did not believe in a soul. The same with the Romans. Within Native American lore its the spirit.

And so, it comes to IMO to the fear of death and this thing of universal justice. That the bad people are going to suffer after this life, and the good shall live forever in paradise. But, there is nothing to suggest that this is even true. The universe does not care about our feelings. A meteorite could smack the earth and could wipe out the whole civilization as we know it. And it would not matter. You are not important no matter what your mommy told you.

You will die and be forgotten like the rest of us.
