That death isn’t the end. It might be the end of a physical group of cells but what we experience as our own consciousness lives on. Just not in this same form. And that those who have passed are communicating but we don’t pick up on the same vibrations inside of these bodies.
We’re also not in the same vibration to pick up any of our own memories of before inhabiting our bodies.
A huge amount of people who have NDEs seem to report much of this in common.
That and there is a plethora of dark energy and matter we cannot perceive. Which is scary creepy when I think about it too much. Like if this were a computer program, we’ve only physically taken up an observed 5% of the disk space. Can’t get my mind around that.
I don't agree with you, but I think it'd be pretty rad if dark matter was GHOSTS.
What I’m finding interesting is the more I look into consciousness studies, I believe in ghosts less and less.
Remnants …maybe? I mean the consciousness is here, I just don’t believe they exist as what we call a ghost. that it is a spirit that hasn’t ‘moved on’ to whatever form it takes after which again, is never really explained to what it moves onto. The dark matter? Interesting concept.
we just can’t observe it…yet . So who knows what makes up the dark matter while we exist in this current consciousness. Who knows, maybe it’s our real ‘bodies’ making that up and we just can’t see it. Maybe that big old void is just you or me or anyone. And we just have these little flesh masks on while living in this simulation.
Personally, panpsychism makes sense to me. Our brains are what make us thinking individuals with memories etc, but the whole universe is conscious. So after we die, we return to pure awareness (without thought or memory)
Yes that one is rather interesting concept. That everything is conscious. Or all encompassing.
On that note there’s also the realization that science has not yet detected where the ‘mind’ actually inhibits the body as once believed . As there are many animated creatures with no brain. And there are humans who have lead a very normal life with very little brain matter clung to the skull bone.
the mind possibly doesnt even take space in the body at all. Maybe we’re dipping our toe into this form or whatever.
