Death Does Not Mean The End Of Consciousness
Life is a series of successive states of consciousness with a common thread running through them. Death is visibly a psychophysical disintegration but it cannot reduce our existence to a dead end; rather it opens a different state of consciousness no longer circumscribed by the limitations of the body-mind complex. At the macro level, consciousness is considered to be the ultimate existence, the Being from which everything else postulates, as has been surmised in quantum physics today. The fundamental question on the working of consciousness after physical death has reached the domain of neurophysiology, cardiology, and quantum physics from eastern spirituality, especially Tibetan Buddhism. Extensive neuropsychological research on patients with near-death experience has shown that they experience an expanding consciousness while their brains register no activity at all. A majority think a hundred times faster with greater clarity than is humanly possible. They go back to their childhood days and experience an intense connection with everything and everyone around them instantly or before. It is now empirically proved that people can think and feel when they are clinically unconscious due to acute pancerebral ischemia. This has opened the floodgate of fundamental questions: "Is consciousness dependent on our physical existence or does it continue beyond death of the body as well? Who observes the self and surroundings while the body lies on the table? What is death? How does our identity continue beyond physical death in the context of postmortem consciousness?" Pim Van Lommel observed that near-death experience is an undeniable reality not confined within spiritual community but spread amongst sceptics as well. Patients are often able to describe precisely what had happened during their cardiac arrests when the activity at their brain stem completely ceased. Death therefore cannot mean the end of consciousness. Consciousness is sepŠ°rate from body and it survives beyond death. During our waking state the consciousness is limited to psychological reality but after death the waking consciousness is exposed to many more realities. The human brain does not produce or store consciousness. The brain is presumably a receiver and transmitter of the working of consciousness just like a television set, which tunes into specific electromagnetic waves and converts them into sound and sight. All our thoughts and expressions are located outside the brain in a collective consciousness field with separate individual identities and we tune ourselves to that field through DNA. The DNA works as the receptor mechanism to attune people to their specific consciousness field. All our thoughts and experiences are systematically stored in phase-space from where the same is retrieved by our DNA in the body-mind complex. When we lose the body we lose only the mortal substance, the real architect or the user of the system, our individual consciousness located in space continues in a different state of consciousness..
