IF the 'soul' even exists, lol, nothing is my most most probability 'certainty' until scientists agree more
"Christof Koch [...] “You lose everything. The world does not exist anymore for you. Your friends don’t exist anymore. You don’t exist. Everything is lost,” he said."
NOW, i'm with you Mr. Christof Koch
"Bruce Greyson [...] “if you take these near death experiences at face value, then they suggest that the mind or the consciousness seems to function without the physical body.”"
OK .. this is one of many about suggesting science does have explanations for "near death experiences"
"Stuart Hameroff [ http://www.quantumconsciousness.org/ ], who proposed the highly controversial Orch-OR (orchestrated objective reduction) theory of consciousness in 1996 along with Roger Penrose, told the Science channel, “I think the quantum approach to consciousness [ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/28/soul-after-death-hameroff-penrose_n_2034711.html ] can, in principle, explain why we’re here and what our purpose is, and also the possibility of life after death, reincarnation and persistence of consciousness after our bodies give up.”
OK, they are still searching .. but, when the brain dies? .. are our thoughts in an 'etheric' collective consciousness? .. i'm still with Christof NOW ..
"Finally, Eben Alexander [...] “I have great belief and knowledge that there is a wonderful existence for our souls outside of this earthly realm and that is our true reality, and we all find that out when we live this earth.”
SORRY, Eben, bow-ties have never been a favorite, and am not sure whether i would buy any 'security' from you .. nothing personal, but damned i know how you have the "knowledge" that we will KNOW anything and feel anything after we kick the bucket, and so leave this earth. Your "belief", ok, but "knowledge" of?
Thanks, F6 .. trying to figure .. learning .. is FUN .. :)
