Apparently scienticts have found proof that brain activity appears to continue after people are dead.. This just made me reconsider my suicide. I don’t want to wake up after my death. I just want to sleep for an eternity. 1 life to live was enough
Not if you don’t have a brain afterwards. There are different parts of the brain. Memory. Language. Processing information. Emotions. Thoughts. Etc. if your brain is destroyed, shattered to bits those parts will no longer function. As well as the fact that if you lungs aren’t supplying your brain with oxygen any more, the brain will not function to produce feelings and language etc
The brain activity that occurred was probably the activity required to shut down the body and prepare it for Rigor Mortis. Which is like shutting down a computer. The power outlet being the systems that turn the computer on and unplugging the power cable so it cannot be turned on again.
We evolved from single-celled organisms. A single cell, in isolation, is an ancestral ghost of what we once were. So if you can culture brain cells in agar, which scientists have been doing for decades if not longer, it only makes sense that your brain cells would continue functioning as isolated life processes, even after death. Probably scavenging what nutrients remain before apoptosis kicks in.
@lostallhope. Do you still want to talk to my friend about how the tdcs helped him. He is out of the hospital and I told him that someone you wants to email him about how tdcs helped him. I will give it to you if still want to talk him. I’m john doe from last week. I changed my user name
After death the Buddhists say you enter the ‘bardo’. It’s the ‘island’ between worlds. They say it us very much like a dream, you arrive fully formed, (not as a baby that grows up, like here). You must remain there for 49 days during which you examine yourself, get judged, and invariably get compelled to take on a rebirth based on your doings in life, in one of the six realms of existence, being hell, hungry ghost, animal, human, asuras and heaven.
There you will wander, as you and I now are, for as long as it takes, again and again. to realize the dharma for ourselves, usually by encountering the teachings of the buddha somehow which lead ultimate liberation from cycle of birth and death
LOL…two things come to mind:
1. Heaven sounds unattainable.
2. I would love to see what Trump comes back as. I’m rooting for a black LBGT American with modest financial means. Walk a few years in someone else’s shoes…
Yeah, I feel you. I don’t want to come back to this life either. That is why I’m trying to convert to atheism because they say there’s nothing after death and eh, it sounds perfect to me. Better than living with fear because of religion.

Thank for the information.. Do you believe we have a soul?
I researched it and I guess the soul weighs 21 g
Where do you believe our souls go after we die?
I saw a documentary on the soul and I still remember the assertion that it weighs 21 grams.
I don’t know actually. Float around? Go hide under rock. Figure out how to do cool shit like bind with another
I like the binding part. Since I am incapable of this, it would be a nice experience
