What Happens When We Die?
What Happens When We Die?
When confronting this question, I often wonder whether there is any point in trying to answer it. We can't conclusively know about everything that occurs when the physical body stops working. Certainly we know a lot about the types of transformations the physical component of an individual will go through after death. The big question is to ask what happens to the mind after the physical body stops working. Does consciousness simply end when the brain activity ceases? Is there a part of my individual existence and personality that survives in some fashion?
One concept states that the individual will continue to exist in the sense that the actions they made while alive continue to influence those still living, perhaps for many generations to come. This concept is behind one of my favorite formulas for achieving immortality: Plant a tree, write a book and raise a child. Through leaving behind artefacts in both the objective universe as well as in the subjective universes of other individuals we can indeed continue having an influence in the world after our body has completely decomposed and returned to the elements. We have even seen that the influence of an individual can continue to increase after they die. We know this form of immortality does exist. This may be enough to satisfy some, perhaps most, however it's hard not to ponder the question of whether the continuation of personal consciousness is possible without an operating physical body.
The prospect of retaining your own conscious individual personality in some form after the physical body ceases to function is what many of us desire. The part of us that makes us unique is seen as the jewel of our existence...
