What concious if you're dead? See where im going with this
before you die i mean. i care how my family will remember me and i want to have a positive impact on society, it's my choice, i dont need a bible or god to tell me what to do. but i hate to think that hitler realized he was wrong after death, which i doubt would happen, and he's know reincarnated. there is no evidence for reincarnation anyways so i believe this is my only life and i want to live it as best i can.

The idea of stopping to exist is so hard to grasp, yet anyone who has fainted has experienced a period of total unconsciousness. I fear that that's what death is like. On the bright side at least there's no eternal punishment.

to me any form of life is a privilege
hitler doesn't deserve to come back even IF he realized what he did was wrong, he still killed 6 million ppl.

i guess my point is you shouldn't think that you can be an ass and then realize you can repent at the end and be rewarded in anyway. i also dont see any evidence that anyone comes back in any form after death, like a dog or a cat. if there is any present it to the national science foundation.

I was a total skeptic when it came to life after death etc, but a little while ago I was reading a book where they were discussing something called micro tubals, these micro tubals are situated in the brain, somewhere near the part where the brain meets the spinal cord.(I think, i'm going off memory here).
Inside the micro tubals is a small bundle of quantum material.
Some scientists believe that this bundle of quantum material is us, that the bundle is what controls the brain, sort of like if the brain was a pc, then the bundle would be the operator.
Now, this is where it gets interesting, once quantum material is created, it cannot be destroyed.
If the bundle is "us", or as some call it , the soul, then it must go on after the body has died.
Theoretically, the bundle of quatum material could have the abillity to float in and out of the micro tubals, if the person knew how to achieve it. Could this be what shamanism is? could i also account for out of body experiences?

Really interesting. Something like this I was looking for. Any idea what that book was titled?
Perhaps the most surprising scientific evidence for the soul comes from quantum mechanics—specifically, from investigations of the subatomic phenomena that produce consciousness. Stuart Hameroff, an anesthesiologist who has spent many years studying brain functions, has collaborated with renowned Oxford University polymath Roger Penrose on a model that explains consciousness as the result of quantum processes occurring in tiny structures called microtubules in brain cells. “I think consciousness under normal circumstances occurs at the level of space-time geometry in the brain, in the microtubules,” Hameroff says. “But the fluctuations extend down to the Planck scale [far smaller than an atom] because the microtubules are driven bioenergetically to be in a coherent state. When the blood supply and the oxygen stops, things go bad and the coherence stops, but quantum information at the Planck scale isn’t lost. It may dissipate into the universe but remain somehow entangled in some kind of functional unit, maybe indefinitely. If the patient is revived, the information gets picked back up again.”
