A book titled “Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness Are the Keys to Understanding the Nature of the Universe“ has stirred up the Internet, because it contained a notion that life does not end when the body dies, and it can last forever. The author of this publication, scientist Dr. Robert Lanza who was voted the 3rd most important scientist alive by the NY Times, has no doubts that this is possible.

The theory implies that death of consciousness simply does not exist. It only exists as a thought because people identify themselves with their body. They believe that the body is going to perish, sooner or later, thinking their consciousness will disappear too. If the body generates consciousness, then consciousness dies when the body dies. But if the body receives consciousness in the same way that a cable box receives satellite signals, then of course consciousness does not end at the death of the physical vehicle. In fact, consciousness exists outside of constraints of time and space. It is able to be anywhere: in the human body and outside of it. In other words, it is non-local in the same sense that quantum objects are non-local.

He adds: “If they’re not revived, and the patient dies, it’s possible that this quantum information can exist outside the body, perhaps indefinitely, as a soul.”

If you answer a Mayfly then you are very perceptive: you realize that in time and space, time is relative and the short life of the Mayfly could be mysteriously longer than the life of the mighty Cyprus.
If you answered a Cyprus then you are unimaginative, but correct.

I can accept that in another universe 0bama really is an American and has a valid BC. But in this one he’s the evil Mr. Spock. Without the cool beard and stache.
And he answered:
Just as the passage of time will answer the question of
Age, the passage of Age will answer the question of Wisdom.
Man has always sought to discover the mystery of Wisdom, just as he seeks to discover the mystery of a rainstorm, or why a potato is not expensive.
The smallest insect possesses profound Wisdom.
That small insect knows the secrets of the earth that man shall never know.
A fish knows the secrets of the sea that man shall never know.
A bird knows the secrets of the sky that man shall never know.
And what is that secret, Master, the man asked.
He replied:
It is this:
All of the creatures of earth must use their imagination.
For it is imagination that makes a piece of bread taste like steak, water taste like wine, and worms taste like chicken.
But what about the secret of the bird, the man insisted.
What bird? the Master inquired. -- The Profit, by Kehlog Albran
And he answered:
It is that which gives a beast of burden its reason for existence.
It is that which men in former times had to bear upon their backs.
It is that which has caused nations to build by-ways from City to City upon which carts and coaches pass, and alongside which inns have come to be built to stave off Hunger, Thirst and Weariness.
It is that which has caused great fleets of ships to ply the Seven Seas wherever the wind blows.
And that is Fate? said the priest.
Fate... I thought you said Freight, responded the Master.
That's all right, said the priest. I wanted to know what Freight was too.

Science researches. Scientism makes claims.
Kim Kardashian has consciousness? When did this happen?

Anesthesia is the real experience. With modern drugs, like proposal, transition to and from consciousness is instantaneous with no sense of either going to sleep or waking up. Just bang, she is fooling with the IV, and you’re suddenly in another place, with no instantaneous knowledge that anything even happened in between. When death occurs, does some odd form of consciousness suddenly revive beyond the effects of the drugs?
I don’t know but I think my receiver is on it’s way to becoming a wide screen TV.
Also during these spiritual exercises I reflected on the truth of the Priesthood of Christ in the perspective of that Passing which the moment of death is for each one of us. The Resurrection of Christ is an eloquent [above this word was added decisive] sign of the departure from this world for rebirth in the other, future world.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testament_of_Pope_John_Paul_II
Make of it what you will.

Doh! If only I could afford the costs of auditing!

Unfortunately the only way to prove this one way or the other is to die.....
Universe is Conscious [ Through the Wormhole ] (video 14:34)
That’s what the name of God actually means I’ve been told. YHWH.
I'm more awake when I'm asleep than I am when I'm awake! Anesthesia is another story, and cessation of life processes yet another.
maior enim turbae disiectus material
consequitur leto, nee quisquam expergitus exstat,
frigida quem semel est vitai pausa secuta
"for a greater dispersion of the disturbed matter takes place at death, and no one awakens and rises whom the cold stoppage of life has once overtaken."
