  • The Curious Case of Brain Activity that Has Been Recorded as Much as 10 Minutes After Death

    The Curious Case of Brain Activity that Has Been Recorded as Much as 10 Minutes After Death

    The Curious Case of Brain Activity that Has Been Recorded as Much as 10 Minutes After Death:

    The strange case of death… and dying.. and the brain.

    Doctors in a Canadian intensive care unit have stumbled on a very strange case – when life support was turned off for four terminal patients, one of them showed persistent brain activity even after they were declared clinically dead.

    For more than 10 minutes after doctors confirmed death through a range of observations, including the absence of a pulse and unreactive pupils, the patient appeared to experience the same kind of brain waves (delta wave bursts) we get during deep sleep. And it’s an entirely different phenomenon to the sudden ‘death wave’ that’s been observed in rats following decapitation.

    To my still somewhat living brain, this doesn’t seem possible..or good in any way! 

    The brain’s fight to stay alive extends well beyond the time it should.. and does this brain oddity happen more often? If so.. is this what we perceive heaven and hell to be when we have near death experiences? Could the ‘afterlife’ maybe only be the few minutes our brain still churns away and then, afterwards, ceases to exist at some point?

    More from Bec Crew: 

    In the absence of any biological explanation for how brain activity could possibly continue several minutes after the heart has stopped beating, the researchers say the scan could be the result of some kind of error at the time of recording.

    But they’re at a loss to explain what that error could be, as the medical equipment show no signs of malfunction, meaning the source of the anomaly cannot be confirmed – biologically or otherwise.

    I suppose that is comforting. Look over there! No big deal! Could be instrument malfunctions!

    Listen.. this is the biggest albatross hanging over us. Death. We are all dying somehow.. and when we get closer, we try to escape it even more.. but the brain living well beyond death? That seems to be a horrifying possibility .. something that is even more haunting to the senses. Because in theory the brain may still be recording memories, feelings.. all the like.

    As Dr. Loomis famously said in Halloween 2, ‘you don’t even know what death is.’ And we don’t now.. and we may never.

    …..actually maybe first we need to learn what life is.

  • Theory: Death Is Just An Illusion: We Continue To Live In A Parallel Universe

    Theory: Death Is Just An Illusion: We Continue To Live In A Parallel Universe

    Theory: Death Is Just An Illusion: We Continue To Live In A Parallel Universe:

    The linked article comes from a website Core Spirit .. it’s also a good read.. 

    The ultimate question we all ask, the burning desire: What happens when we die? What happens to the energy? Is there an afterlife..

    One theory, explained in this article, is that death does not occur and an afterlife is not really what we think. Instead, it is theorized, we simply live in a parallel place..

    The money quote I found, and am still trying to contemplate:

    Consider the double-slit experiment: if one “watches” a subatomic particle or a bit of light pass through slits on a barrier, it behaves like a particle and creates solid-looking hits behind the individual slits on the final barrier that measures the impacts.

    Like a tiny bullet, it logically passes through one or the other hole.

    But if the scientists do not observe the trajectory of the particle, then it exhibits the behavior of waves that allow it pass through both holes at the same time.

    Why does our observation change what happens? Answer: Because reality is a process that requires our consciousness,” Lanza says.

    You would not exist without a consciousness. One of the reasons Robert Lanza thinks you will not die, is because you are not a object.

    You’re a special being. According to biocentrism, nothing could exist without consciousness. Remember you can’t see through the bone surrounding your brain.

    Space and time are not hard objects, but rather the tools our mind uses to weave everything together.

    Everything you see and experience right now is a whirl of information occurring in your mind. Space and time are simply the tools for putting everything together.

    Lanza points out that death does not exists in a timeless, spaceless world.

    There is no distinction between past, present, and future. It is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
