THEDEEPSIGHT: It seems my point about how your memory is closed to any pre-existence is lost on you. This goes way beyond the womb. Remember I asked how you know this is the first brain and body you have had. I was simply asking how you know this is your first life. or your first time being born into a body.
As I said, if you have no memory of a past life while here, and only opened your eyes one day and saw your self here, how do you know that cant happen again - while you would have no memory of this current life you are living?
Not going to go in circles, this has been asked and answered.
When are you going to show me a process I can investigate and explore that shows that consciousness is not a product of brain and body? If you cannot answer this question then there's nothing further to discuss.
Reed, it has everything to do with it. You seemed to suggest that your observation of the process of pregnancy and birth resolves conclusively the mystery of how beings come into the world via sex. Have you dared to ask your self how the sexual process itself came about? In doing so -
1. Remember that as per evolution, we first had unicellular life which reproduced asexually. Where and how did sexual reproduction evolve.
Wrong. It has nothing to do with it because we are discussing my existence. I came about by the human reproductive process I already laid out which is of course occurring far past when the sexes emerged. Besides not know how the sexes evolved doesn't show in anyway that consciousness is not a product of brain and body.
THEDEEPSIGHT: Interesting. Very very interesting. So, you, who still cannot decipher how creatures evolved into sexual reproduction, and has no memory of his own development in a womb, is self satisfied to say that since he has seen the birth of a child, he knows the whole process?
LoLz. Was my development in the womb different from the development of my child in the womb? A resounding no. My mother was impregnated by my father and she carried the resulting fetus for 9 months before my birth. Same way I impregnated my wife and she carried the resulting fetus for 9 months before my child's birth. These are clear cut processes. Find me a clear cut process to show there is consciousness without brain and body, simple.
What has the evolution of the sexes got to do with this? Nothing that I can see.
jaephoenix: You couldnt have died from that wound. There's no major vessels in the location around that scar. Grow some sense
Probably an under fed person who felt faint from the blood loss. Now takes it as some supernatural phenomenon. And this from a university graduate. What a shame.
GistMedia0: DISCLAIMER:THIS IS MY PERSONAL TESTIMONY. I AM NOT TRYING TO PERSUADE OR COERCE ANYONE INTO ANY RELIGIOUS BELIEF.
A few years ago, after completing my compulsory six-month Industrial Training (IT) and waiting for my final year session to begin, I was working on a practical project for my IT defense, which was to be presented soon.
While using a very sharp knife to cut some materials, it slipped from my hand and landed right between my left thumb and index finger. The cut was so deep that I could literally see my bone. Blood gushed out like a fountain, soaking my room in minutes.
Sensing the danger, I quickly poured hydrogen peroxide on the wound, hoping to stop the bleeding, but it didn’t work. The cut was too deep and wide, and I couldn’t even bear to look at it twice. In a panic, I tore a piece of fabric, wrapped it around my hand, and rushed to a nearby drugstore owned by a nurse.
As soon as she saw the depth of my wound, she gasped and asked what had happened. I just told her to proceed with the treatment, assuring her I’d explain later. She cleaned and dressed the wound with some liquid medication, and almost instantly, the bleeding stopped.
When she asked if I wanted stitches, I refused out of fear, insisting the wound would heal on its own.
THE UNEXPECTED TURN
After the final dressing and bandaging of the wound, I felt relieved as the nurse explained my treatment routine and the medications I needed to take. But suddenly, everything went blank.
I felt empty, as if my soul was leaving my body. It was a painful, forceful separation, and I was utterly helpless. My body felt dry, drained of life. In those few moments, I experienced something beyond comprehension—I felt as though I was traveling between the past and future, reliving memories in flashes. My soul was crying, and my biggest thought was how my mother would react upon hearing that her son had died in school.
It all happened so quickly. Just as I was about to collapse completely, I heard a loud cry:"THE BLOOD OF JESUS! OH, THE BLOOD OF JESUS!"
Over and over, the nurse repeated these words. In that instant, my soul awakened, and an unexplainable surge of energy rushed through my body.
Apparently, while I was slipping away, the nurse noticed my eyes rolling back and turning white. Realizing I was losing consciousness, she immediately began pleading the blood of Jesus over me. That was how I came back to life!
A MIRACULOUS HEALING
As if that wasn’t enough, another miracle followed—the deep wound that should have taken weeks to heal started closing up within days. Even the nurse was astonished! She attributed it to me having good skin, but deep down, I knew it was God at work.
Despite my injury, I completed my project successfully and defended it excellently. Today, I have long graduated, healthy and strong, to the glory of God.
EmperorCaesar: These things are hard to believe without video evidences
Don't even need it. Blood loss is known to cause loss of consciousness and it is one part of medical practice to keep a patient in that state as conscious as possible. There is nothing supernatural about this so called miracle.
THEDEEPSIGHT: You were not aware of that process when it happened. If it repeats itself elsewhere, you will most likely also not be aware of it. What this points to is a machinery existing beyond your consciousness which activates both you and your reality.
It doesn't matter if I witnessed my own birth, I have witnessed the birth of my own child and seen her development, that is sufficient evidence. There was no other machinery that brought my child into existence.
THEDEEPSIGHT: Indeed, and that's fair enough, but it must occur to you that all you know of your existence on this plane is that one day you just opened your eyes and found yourself here. If nothing else, this should leave you open to the vast possibilities that may exist regarding your holistic existence. For as you just opened your eyes one day and found yourself here - without creating yourself, without doing anything for it, and with no prior memory - you should at least suspect that you could also open your eyes somewhere else one day and find yourself there with no prior memory as well.
There was a process that got me here that I can explore and investigate. Until I get a similar process that I can investigate and explore that demonstrates that consciousness survives or is separate from the body then I have no reason to think so.
THEDEEPSIGHT: How do you know you were non existent before birth. Is it not more accurate to say you have no memory of anything before birth?
As far as I know memory is tied to brain processes, no brain, no memory. I have no memory because I had no brain. Even more explicitly, consciousness is based on the brain and body processes which didn't exist before I was born and will cease when I die.
fuckJones: I'm asking everyone. Believers and non-believers. Rather you believe in heaven, nothing, or something new, I want to hear it and your reason for it. I thought about this question and it sometimes scares me. I generally can deal with it, but sometimes it just sucks my mind into a void of knowing of my demise and possibly losing memories of the life I love and the experiences I had.
No. I have no reason to believe rather the same way I was nonexistent before birth is the same way I'll be nonexistent after death is more likely.
THEDEEPSIGHT: Their same ol same ol internal war driven by mineral resources being exploited by the West and fought over by neighbours supporting rivals.
I thought they had a cease fire agreement some years back?
Rebuker: A short video circulating on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), shows a Congolese soldier recording what would be his final moments on the battlefield.
In the footage, he pleads with a friend to take care of his family if he does not survive. He specifically requests that his salary and war bonus be sent to his family, as he fears he will not make it through the battle.
Showing his wounded arm, he reveals that he has been shot and expresses doubt about his chances of survival.
According to reports, he died shortly after recording the video.
THEDEEPSIGHT: Reed, can you believe there are Nigerians here saying Trump was right on that? I honestly dont understand this world. There must be a trick to this - to making people worship whatever you do or say - even if you are cursing them or shitting on their parents.
Seriously. When people say there's juju that can make someone mesmerised you almost want to believe with nonsense like this. The hate and vitriol is also shocking. Why so much hate towards people trying to just live their best life?
THEDEEPSIGHT: Well, since that one has existed for almost 2000 years now, that's not really surprising. And as far as scams go, these days they are conservative compared to the new kids on the block. I mean scams of fleecing members through the prosperity gospel, etc.
Yeah but what do you think these prosperity churches claim to be using the money to do if not acquiring more real estate.
THEDEEPSIGHT: Its staggering how upfront these guys are about their fraud. Only religion can give such confidence. Only in religion can you tell your clients and customers that God told you to steal, to kill, to rape and they will believe you and passionately support you.
Truly staggering. And heartbreaking the number of people who are continually hoodwinked into funding these empires called churches. The Catholic Church for instance is the organisation with the largest real estate holding in the world. Truly baffling.
