Confirms Eban Alexander's 'Proof of Heaven'

[palmer]

I read through the comments but saw nothing but pure mysticism and mysticism wrapped around a bit of poorly understood science. But the most concrete research shows that consciousness is an illusion, simply a trick we play on ourselves. Tests show that "free will" actions occur after the subject believes that they have performed the action. There may be a role for quantum mechanics but probably only to generate some random inputs to what we believe to be spontaneous free will thoughts and actions.

Also on the quantum theory idea, there is measureable instantaneous interaction with quantum particles in distant locations. It opens the possibility of "another universe" interacting with our consciousness before death. Not sure about the effect if any in the other direction and it doesn't appear likely after death.

Not sure if this is the right place for it... But here’s my theory.

The Universe teems with life. The physical manifestation we experience is all of that Spirit life taking physical form. If the physical form is damaged, that connection from Spirit to Flesh can get garbled or broken entirely.

Take into consideration modern neuroscience. When our physical selves are damaged, it can lead to everything from aberrant behavior to various types of aphasia, dysarthria, or various types of synesthesia. Remapping those damaged areas, or even bridging them, restores normal function as our “connection” with the flesh is repaired.

It’s like the old saying, “the lights are on, but no ones home.” With damage/mutation to our physical selves, it’s like we’re trying to get in the house, but our keys no longer work.

From what we know of information at the quantum level, it’s to all intents and purposes infinitely dense. More than enough space for us all to experience as “heaven”, or “hell” in all its forms.

Not sure I explained that as elegantly as I could have, but there it is...

In fact, consciousness exists outside of constraints of time and space.

O...

[Elsie]

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.

Only TWO choices?

Without getting into the details, isn’t there something inherently wrong with the phrase “theory proves...”?

Quite fascinating.
