RE: Is There Life After Death?

in #life7 years ago

I technically disagree with your example of the television. I argue that the image is perceivable within the television in that moment, our perception of a collection of lights produced on the screen of the television. It sounds similar to the example in the article that argues the opposite.

For some people, this is simply further evidence that the mind must be able to exist independently of the body—or else where does it go when the brain is dead? To materialists, it is evidence of the opposite: the mind doesn’t “go” anywhere, any more than the image from a slide projector goes somewhere when you switch the projector off. Rather, it shows that the mind and consciousness are emergent properties of the brain, knitted together somehow by all the physical and chemical processes in our nervous system."

I assumed that quote would resonate haha. In my opinion, 100% understanding the neuroscience behind the feelings of a "soul" and a "collective consciousness" is unnecessary for benefiting from the experience. I am glad to hear it has helped you focus on living rather than wasted on fear and anxiety about death. Thanks for the discussion, looking forward to having more!
