What is the Afterlife?
The afterlife is the belief that our consciousness will survive after our physical death. The existence of an afterlife has been explored since the dawn of time—some people believe that once the brain dies, the mind does too. However, it is not bizarre or unusual to believe that the mind is able to exist without the body. In fact, many people in the Western world admit to believing in some kind of afterlife. While science has never been able to show how synaptic activity in the brain can produce the experience of consciousness, belief in afterlife continues on.
What is Death?
We are conditioned to see death as a black and white, you are either here or you are not. The concept of death is considered to be an irreversible, terminal event. For thousands of years we believed that when the heart stopped, death occurred. However, there was a big discovery in the 21st century and it was found that cells inside the body take a long time to die. Cells remain viable, in a hibernating state for many hours, even brain cells continue on for some time once blood flow has stopped.
The Truth About Near-Death Experiences
Near-death experiences can teach us a lot about the afterlife. People have reported very vivid experiences, common experience for many who have lived through near-death experiences all over the world. A dark tunnel is nearly always reported with a bright light at the end of it. Another common phenomenon is the out-of-body experience in which the person who has died can see everything that is going on in the world around them; some people have ever said they have been able to see into other worlds, seeing things they can’t comprehend with their physical minds. During a near-death experience, extraordinary emotions are often experienced, many of which are life-changing to survivors.
Without a doubt, there is a sequence of unfolding experiences once the brain has flatlined; this proves scientifically that the brain is not the same as consciousness. There is an experience of interpenetration, interdependency, and oneness—the illusion of a separate self seems to be worn away. It is generally believed by parapsychologist that the brain creates the illusion of separation, something that perhaps makes it easier for us to function in the physical realm. They believe that it is consciousness itself that knows the reality of oneness.
Survivors of near-death experience have talked about standing at the gates of Heaven and being greeted by lost loved ones; some people even describe an encounter with God. Huge orbs and glistening eyes are common visions, as are large diamonds and bright white lights. While we don’t know the relationship between consciousness and the brain, science has proven that they are not the same thing; this means that there must be an afterlife of sorts.
