LIFE AFTER DEATH:When you die ‘you KNOW you’re dead because your brain keeps working’scientist claim

A new study suggests your consciousness carries on after your heart stops beating.

WE know we are dead when we die because our brains keep working to make us aware of what's happening around us, haunting new research suggests.

Top medical experts have forever been at loggerheads over what happens when humans die, with anecdotal evidence of bright lights and flashes reported by people who have 'come back' being the cause of much debate.

However a new study suggests your consciousness carries on functioning after your heart stops beating and your body movements fail.

This means you are essentially 'trapped' inside your dead body with your brain still working, if only for a short time.

Survivors of cardiac arrest were aware of what was going on around them while they were 'dead' before being 'brought back to life', the study revealed.

More surprising still, there is evidence to suggest the deceased may even hear themselves being pronounced dead by doctors.

Dr Sam Parnia is studying consciousness after death and examining cardiac arrest cases in Europe and the US.

He says people in the first phase of death may still experience some form of consciousness.

The expert ventured that people who have survived cardiac arrest later accurately described what was happening around them after their hearts stopped beating.

He said: "They'll describe watching doctors and nurses working, they'll describe having awareness of full conversations, of visual things that were going on, that would otherwise not be known to them."

Explaining when a patient is officially declared dead, he said: "It's all based on the moment when the heart stops.

"Technically speaking, that's how you get the time of death."

His study is examining what happens to the brain after a person goes into cardiac arrest - and whether consciousness continues after death and for how long - to improve the quality of resuscitation and prevent brain injuries while restarting the heart.

Unlike the plot in Flatliners, however, when a person is resuscitated they don't return with a "magical enhancement" of their memories, said Dr Parnia.

The brain is not the seat of consciousness or thought. More than anything, it’s an electrical signal processing unit.

The spirit (which is the individual), is a non-corporeal life force that is aware of being aware, and animates the body. It is also immortal.

Scientists will never crack the mysteries of the human mind and consciousness until they understand these basic concepts.

Thanks! Never heard of it and I’ll look it up.

There’s a youtube series by Dr. John Ankerberg on the subject also. Chilling to say the least.

My heart stopped beating when Dr’s did a tilt table test on me. I don’t remember anything from the time I was upright until I woke up after passing out.

A lot of the stories about people dying - then being brought 'back to life' - tell of the person watching their own body from above it... watching the whole scene - including themselves.

The two most common reactions to the process of dying are of seeing someone you love - a partent, grandparent etc... And the other common reaction is a person saying 'Oh f*ck'...

I'm guessing if you are welcomed by people you love it's different than if your 'welcomed' by people you've hurt in this life.

In short - say your prayers, ask for forgiveness and live your life with kindness toward others...

This article is bull crap.

I died, left my body and then returned.

I experienced Heaven and know that I am not my physical body.

I am my soul or consciousness that occupies this physical body.

I didn’t know about the hearing part when my father died. My mother told me later. Then I tried to think about what he might’ve heard: the crying, the goodbyes, all the good things, but then eventually everyone standing there, talking to each other about his death, that he was no longer suffering, that he was in heaven now... I’ve long wondered what he might’ve heard.

As a result of dying, my brain changed operating frequencies and I began to perceive the consciousness and soul of others as physical objects. I read the stored memories of life experiences since conception just by walking up to a person.

If they close their eyes, I can reach out and touch a high charged emotional memory in their soul and knock them off their feet from many feet away from them. It’s all science.

I can easily explain the neuroscience and demonstrate this and have done so in several medical school settings. I’ve demonstrated this to several leading experts in consciousness research at major universities and it freaks them out. Their understanding of science is just too limited.

My ability came about due to my death experience.

By the way, I’ve found that the life memory experiences are also stored in the souls of spirits who have left their physical bodies. I’ve done this with ghosts and tell why they are stuck here.

If you believe we are more than matter, this is not a surprise.

A good rule to live by. All we can do is our best.

Yeah but what doesnt is that those who remember all this often see whats going on from a viewpoint thats outside of their own body, seeing whats going on across the entire room from above, hearing conversations. Seeing their own body. Seeing and hearing things they couldnt possibly see or hear from their body’s position where they are.

Thats a huge difference than just still having consciousness but being trapped in your own body.

Its clear that the persons consciousness remains intact outside the body, these kinds of examples confirm it.

Well, we are both. we are designed to be a soul in a body. death is the unnatural separation of the two.

Fascinating research. What strikes me is many of these near death experiences are described by people who've been under general anesthesia when they had their experiences.

When you are under general anesthesia, you are barely down and can have brief moments where you are up enough to have an awareness of your surroundings. I've heard about the bright light associated with NDEs and can confirm that when I was under general anesthesia, I too saw the bright lights, heard voices and saw humanlike forms but realized it was all due to my coming up enough to have a brief awareness. The anesthesiologist probably noticed that and tweaked the dosage just enough to put me back down.
