We Never Actually Die: The Science Behind Eternal Consciousness by petsolo15(op): 7:21am On Aug 13, 2016
A book called “Biocentrism: How life and
consciousness are the keys to understanding
the true nature and the universe” stirred the
Internet, stating that life does not end when the
body dies, but it lasts forever.


The author of this book, scientist Dr. Robert
Lanza, who the New York Times pronounced as
the third most important living scientist,
believes that this is entirely possible.
Beyond time and space
Lanza is an expert in regenerative medicine and
scientific director of the Company for advanced
cell technology. Before he became famous for
his research on stem cells, he was known for
the successful experiments of cloning
endangered species.

However, the scientist has recently started to
deal with physics, quantum mechanics and
astrophysics. This interesting mix created the
theory of biocentrism, which the professor now
engaged. Biocentrism teaches that life and
consciousness are the basis of the universe and
that consciousness creates the material
universe, and not vice versa.
Lanza indicates the structure of the universe
and how that the laws and constants of the
forces of the universe are tuned for life,
suggesting that intelligence existed before
matter.

He also claims that space and time are not
objects or things, but tools of our animal
understanding. Lanza says that we actually
carry space and time with us as turtles wear
their armor, meaning that we exist even outside
of time and space.


The theory suggests that the death of
awareness is not possible, but is only a thought
because people identify themselves with their
body. They believe that the body will disappear
sooner or later and that their consciousness
will die with the body.

If the body creates awareness, then awareness
dies along with the body, but if the body
receives consciousness in the same way as
cable TV signal reception, it is clear that
consciousness continues to exist when it leaves
its physical shell. In fact, consciousness exists
outside the boundaries of time and space. It
can be anywhere: in the body and outside the
body. In other words, it is not local in the same
manner as quantum structures.

Lanza also believes that there are several
simultaneous universes. In one universe, the
body is dead while in another one it still exists,
absorbing the consciousness that moved to this
universe. This means that a person who dies
does not end up in heaven or hell, but in a
similar world that was once inhabited, but is
alive again. It so happens again and again.
Multiple Universes
This interesting theory has many supporters,
including many well-known scientists. These
are physicists and astrophysicists who agree
about the existence of parallel worlds and that
indicate the possible existence of multiple
universes. They claim that there are no physical
laws that prevent the existence of parallel
worlds.


Science fiction author, HG Wales in 1895, first
presented this idea. 62 years later, Dr. Hugh
Everett developed it, and the core assumption is
that the universe is divided to countless similar
parts at any time, and that this happens with
every so incurred universe. In one of these
universes you are reading this article and in
another one you might be watching TV.

The initiating factors of this universe division
are our actions, says Everett. If we make a
choice, the universe is immediately divided into
two universes with different outcomes.
Andrei Linde, a scientist with the Lebedev
Institute of Physics, developed the theory of
multiple universes back in the 80s. He is now a
professor at Stanford University. Linde
explained that the universe is composed of
many blown spheres, which increase similar
spheres, which then produce spheres in even
greater numbers, and so on to infinity. These
spheres are completely separate and
independent from each other, but represent
different parts of the same physical universe.
The fact that our universe is not unique is
supported by data obtained with the Planck
telescope.
Scientists are using this data to create the most
accurate map of the cosmic radiation that has
existed since the foundation of the universe.
They also discovered that the universe has a lot
of dark holes.


Theoretical physicist Laura Mersini-Houghton
from the University of North Carolina claims
that the anomalies in the area are due to the
fact that the surrounding universes affect our
universe, and that those dark holes are the
direct result.
The scientific explanation for the Soul
So there are many places or many universes in
which our soul can be moved after death,
according to the theory of neo-biocentrism. Is
there a scientific theory of consciousness that
supports this claim? According to Dr. Stuart
Hameroff, near-death experience occurs when
the quantum information that inhabits the
nervous system leaves the body and scatters in
the universe.


He argues that awareness is in the microtubules
of the brain cells, which are the primary site of
the quantum processing.
After death, this information goes out of the
body, together with consciousness. He believes
that our experience of consciousness result of
quantum gravity effects in these microtubules.

We never actually live either. Death is life in another form. It is just our decision that decides if we die. Death is just a part of our story, the construct. Everything always moves on, it echos forever as death is a release, releasing and transforming into other things, energies, death, it's result forever. You can be alive in these constructs but you can feel more dead than being dead. The only death is our belief that there is nothing after this, after a certain moment. Like a wave hitting the sand, it sinks into it, turning into it.

Atheists will still come here and display their stupldity that life ends here.

You can't do without atheists can you? I know you did not read the article, because you'd have seen where he said that dead people do not go to heaven or hell. Just read the topic and type nonsense as usual.
Re: We Never Actually Die: The Science Behind Eternal Consciousness by NPComplete: 10:15am On Aug 13, 2016
What the OP is saying inadvertently is that we are God. Or at least, we are the sum total of what we call God. The idea fascinates but I am still sceptical.

We are not talking about heaven and hell here. The main issue here is that life does not end here. You people have always argued this with us and you ve always insisted that life ends here. The foolishness of atheism is gradually being exposed as the bible rightly called you people.

The relation between consciousness and body is uncomplicated in the same way that it is uncomplicated that a cubical shape is a property of a toy building block. consciousness is a property exhibited by the body, one among many. Moreover, when the body perishes, so does consciousness, just as the shape of a building block disappears with destruction of the block...

U are sure about this? Absolutely sure? Or are u assuming and having "faith" that u are right?

A living human is certain that life ends here grin grin . What rubbish grin . He is assuming because he aint dead yet

More of philosophising than actual science.
Re: We Never Actually Die: The Science Behind Eternal Consciousness by tartar9(m):
Its all in our "head"...then how come everyone experiences exactly the same thing huh OR you are just the only conscious being that exists so that everyone else are also part of this grand mirage.Well,its still all philosophising.
