Smartest Man in the World Tells His Theory About What Happens At Death

So apparently “the smartest man alive” and he can’t...

Remember, the smartest human is still dumber than young children of some species within the Universe.

Would really like to hear of your experience, but it sounds that it either terrified you or was too sacred to share with anyone.

I wonder if he's ever done the psychedelic dimethyltryptamine. What I've experienced on it lines up with what he's saying. It felt like my very consciousness was removed from my body and traveled to an alternate reality or dimension.

I was getting terrified on the brief journey, but then I came to this place where everything existed as energy, and I laughed at myself for forgetting this is where I came from.
Then I had this realization that we're all part of a collective consciousness.

This is the one that makes me wonder.

When James Leininger was 2 years old, he started having nightmares of being killed as a World War II fighter pilot.

But I have all told them this....it's nothing I have ever read about, never seen, never seen pictures, anything.

I know it is personal for you and I do not ask any specific question because of it. But do you want to share a bit? I know from asking someone else, that it is a personal and difficult topic, intimate. And I know the facial expression of the struggle in finding words, the empty, struggle look in search of examples that fit the example. Answers like, from my memory:

I want to describe the space, but there it is no space. I want to describe how it looks but I have not seen it through eyes. You would think of a cloud material but it is not a cloud, it is not material. It is not white but you would think white is closest, if you seen it.

I believe you, thank you for sharing a bit about your experience.

1 sperm 1 egg = 1 soul now is that a new "soul" or one that is being reused what happens to the sperms that don't win the race or the eggs that go unfertilized?

Reincarnation has similar conundrums.

Considering the increase in Human population over the span of recorded history.

Where do all these new souls come from, keeping in mind they are supposedly being reborn?

a reply to: andy06shake

Greetings andy06shake, wishing you merry holidays!

However, I don't see the conundrum.

The human body is a highly specialized receiver or antenna, each of us with a unique 'signature.' It is apparent in the structure of our spinal column and brain. We are receivers built to pick up the encoded signals of consciousness, while our DNA is actually the means to decode and express it (some forms of life only utilize RNA.)

Consciousness is 'broadcast' far and wide, and each person is specialized to tune into a specific frequency like the dial on a radio.

Let's say myself, as a receiver, I am only adapted to tune into rap music, while you are attuned only to classical music. It may appear we're separated and different, but the broadcasts are coming from the same headend.

Now I bet you're wondering, what about something like a jellyfish that has no spinal column and brain such as ours? Well that's why I said we humans are a highly specialized receiver. The goal of evolution being to create better and better receivers. There are a seemingly infinite number of variations in which to interpret this 'master radio broadcast' that I have described.

As far as numbers of souls and such. This is the illusion isn't it?

What if you take our individuality and ego out of the equation? Would that consciousness be discernible or distinguishable from one another?

This may be highly offensive to some people, but I submit the only difference between you and I is that our bodies force us to tune into only one specific range of consciousness.

Upon death of the body and ego, we become indistinguishable from consciousness itself. The illusion of separateness and duality and so forth is just that--illusion.

Is this the lesson of the Golden Rule, Do Unto Others?

Or maybe I should consider laying off the holiday nog

Forgive my crude analogies, but I hope I made sense. I don't have a 220 IQ, in fact I only have an 8th grade education so I apologize if I am not making much sense!

a reply to: AlroyFarms

Greetings to you also AlroyFarms.

And merry Christmas when it materialises.

I don't have the answers where the likes of consciousness is concerned.

Nor would I even claim to know where it resides with any sort of certainty, i wish i could.

Suffice to say further study is obviously required on the topic.

The notion of reincarnation is fraught with other problems through.

For instance, if a persons soul or consciousness moves to another body but lacks memories or personality traits, can it truly be considered the same individual?

Then there are the ethical concerns that also arise, such as the idea of karma justifying suffering in current lives based on past actions, which essentially amounts to victim-blaming.

I dont find what you're suggesting to be highly offensive, i mean people tend to be more similar than different if we are honest.

As to to golden rules, i try and follow 3.

Those being, take what you do not have, but have what you cannot take, and never hurt anyone weaker than yourself.

You're fine mate, i suggest you have another, not that it will make everything clear, but it does take the edge off existence.

Smartest man in the world, with IQ of 220, tells what he thinks happens upon death.
I guess he bases this on science and math ... dimensions and energy ... dunno ... 
He calls his theory - Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU)

I'll give a little of the quote, but go read the whole article.   Interesting ... 

Smartest Man In The World Shares What He Thinks Happens Upon Death

He believes that when we die, we transition from one form of being to another within the computational structure of reality, meaning the consciousness, or 'soul,' moves to another dimension or plane of existence we cannot access while alive. 

He said death is 'The termination of your relationship with your particular physical body that you have at this present time. When you are retracted from this reality, you go back up toward the origin of reality.

Once you transition to this new plane of exitance, you might not even remember who you were before, Langan said. 

'You can have - these memories can be - nothing goes out of existence in the math.  'Your memories can always be pulled back out, but there's no reason to do that usually, OK?

The afterlife is something else entirely. It involves a profound shift in our entire being, moving the 'soul' or consciousness beyond the physical or mental self. 

There is a bunch more.  Gotta' read the article ... interesting theory.

Theories can be tested, as requisite in the scientific method. What you have here is called hypothesis. And a big problem with the cognitive model is the lack of testimony from subjects who have fully crossed over. We aren't in contact or regularly exchanging data with anyone who has departed this realm.

Perhaps the suffering is a means of lesson-teaching for whatever journey we're on?

...a man blind from birth. And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.

Maybe there is an art in rolling with the punches and playing the hand we're dealt, instead of cursing the discomforts of our existence. Seems it all comes to a choice in our attitudes?

It's a much bigger puzzle than any one person can grasp for sure!

I noticed the word “allegedly” smartest man on earth. That being said, he doesn’t know jack what happens after death, his guess is as good as mine.

It certainly does not explain why any sort of benevolent god or creator force would allow the likes of little innocent kids to succumb to cancer and disease.

As to the puzzle, it's most likely simply above our pay grade, which dont make the answers provided any more palatable or meaningful.

And the thing about puzzles, well we are wired to try and solve those, of all shapes and sizes.

Enjoying the convo AlroyFarms, but pretty busy today.

So if i disappear for a while it's probably because a van load of boxes landed on my napper.

Mate, I am one of such kids. I spent 3 years fighting cancer in the pediatric wards and became deaf through antibiotics and chemotherapy. I have literally watched children take their last breaths in their hospital beds wondering if I'm next. On top of that I came from a very neglectful and dysfunctional family.

I wouldn't trade it for the world, though I have suffered much.

Everything sucks while we're going through it. But what about once we overcome, do we not have the potential to come out with more understanding, wisdom, compassion, and strength? Do we not love and appreciate each other more?

Do we really want to live in a monochromatic world with no surprise or passion or mystery?

As I said, it's all what you make it. Suffering can take many forms. Imagine the rich man sequestered in his castle in perfect health who suffers from jaded loneliness, depression, and boredom? Ever heard the song, Richard Cory by Simon and Garfunkel?

As you said, we're trying to understand something that is clearly beyond our human perspective and ideals. I have my own personal theory on the philosophical question -why?- but I'm going to hold those cards a little closer for now.

Nevertheless, it's always nice to bump into you in the forums, have a great day!

a reply to: AlroyFarms

One of the lucky ones, some of them not so much.

Glad you pulled through all the same.

Nothing worse than the sight of a weans cancer ward by my guess.

It would bring a tear to Satan's eyes.

You have a good day also.

So the plot of a short story I came up with years ago, inspired by reincarnation from Buddhism? Throw some interdimensional beings in there and I'm calling copywrite

I'll take that 220 IQ.

Bet.

He's the smartest man alive, not the deadest man alive

a reply to: FlyersFan

Only one way to find out. Usually big brains like that are so smart they're stupid which is probably why he's using math to tell us what we'll experience when our life ends and we're not here to tell the tale. I do periodically have these instantaneous flashbacks of being hit directly in the back of my head by a club or shot point blank with a pistol in the same spot.

ETA: When my grandmother was in her early 40's (late 1960's), her gallbladder ruptured and she was rushed to the hospital. Moments after her surgery, she died in her hospital bed. She looked down at her husband and 4 children as they cried, then she hears the most beautiful music to ever fill her ears. She was walking up to a gate when a voice said "It's not your time, your family will need you". Not verbatim but I can't remember her exact words as she told me the story. Anyways, a few years later my grandfather died of a heart attack in his recliner as he laid there asleep in their home. My mom was 17 and her sister was 15. Had my grandmother passed that day she had surgery, my mom and sister would've had no parent left to guide them to adulthood. My grandmother lived to 94.

Just a little bit more please. I'm on the edge of the seat. More more more more!

When you were young did you have a few memories or thoughts, persistent ones? Memories that stuck with you, just a few and without any real explanation or context?

I have a lot of memories that stuck with me. One when I was in the cold section of a grocery store sitting in the big part of the grocery cart. I was bouncing up and down and knocked loose the folding part of the cart. I fell out and onto the floor and can still remember the horror in my mom's voice when she picked me up and put my head on her shoulder as she patted my back and told me I was okay. I was 10 months old when that happened. When I was 2 years old, I had a dream that I was getting in the bathtub at our house and it started sucking me down the drain. I woke up and ran into my parents room and climbed in the bed with my mom. I can still remember the song on her radio softly playing as I laid there falling safe and securely back to sleep. To this day, "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac still puts me in a certain state of calmness. I even remember a lot of the dreams I had, very vividly, from my early childhood (under 6 y/o) and orange rays shining through the kitchen and living room windows as the sun was setting.

I died back in 2014...suddenly (while sleeping). I had past the 15min mark but apparently they got a pulse for a sec and continued to take me to the hospital. I got the usual tubes and ice hoses around my body. I was on life support and had no brain activity and on day 6 the Drs were talking with my wife about "pullin the plug". She told the Drs she'd make a decision the next day (long story short).

Low and behold...I frickin woke up the next day. Now what I encounted while I was "dead", I have never told anyone to this day, no Drs, not my wife, friends NO ONE. But I have all told them this....it's nothing I have ever read about, never seen, never seen pictures, anything.

But I love hearing peoples take on this whole death thing.

WOOOOOOOW. How you gonna set us all up like that and not deliver???

Thanks
