I feel different today as my sensory as well as sensory processing organs have developed.

Being dead, just as before being born, I possess no such organs and expect not to "feel".

But my position isn't the interesting one, @RadicalEagle suggested something I interpreted as still having perception beyond life, and I was wondering if that excludes having perception before life, and how that ties into their metaphysics.

There are a lot more changes influencing your perception of reality than just sensory development.

Being dead, just as before being born, I possess no such organs and expect not to "feel".

That's dependent on your consciousness being limited to your physical body. Who's to say that your consciousness wasn't limited so a pantheistic deity could interact with itself. Both theories are equally unscientific as you can't disprove what happens before or after life

Consciousness being tied to the physical body isn't "unscientific", it's the only option that can be tested and studied.

Read a bit about falsifiability and philosophy of science. Physicalism is a metaphysical theory, and not falsifiable.
