Conscious survival through time
More actions
Human lives appear to be a Conscious survival through time. We appear to travel through time. Or we could define it as we are aware of a sequence of changes in ourselves and our environment. This sequence of change is time. We appear to be a body that we consciously control (at least somewhat control). But if we were not conscious we would not be aware of this. We see other bodies that we assume are also conscious and then appear not to be conscious after their death. So we assume that our bodies will eventually die and no longer produce any consciousness for us to experience. But will our current body always produce a consciousness that we will experience as long as it is alive? And has our body always produced a consciousness that we experienced? Awaretheory predicts that if the structure and functioning of the consciousness producing part of the body changes enough then a variation in the ixperiencitness can, will, or does occur. Originalness of the body does not guarantee that the body will continue to produce the same ixperiencitness.
Awaretheory explains how life after death and immortality are possible in terms of Conscious survival through time. What produces each individual's consciousness through time is the a grouping of actual existing (in the past, present, or future) neuropaths, that is a small part of an enumerably (very) large potential group of neuropaths. If being dead is not being conscious then you can never experience being dead. You can experience dying many times but never can you experience not being conscious. Since awaretheory bases consciousness and ixperiencitness on the structure and functioning of matter over time, no supernatural concepts like souls or gods are needed to produce life after death for any conscious being. What ever (like nature) produced your consciousness once it can do it again. The more structures and functioning of matter or neuropaths that will produce you ixperiencitness the more likely you are to have conscious survival again. Awaretheory shows in rational arguments that there are an extremely large amount of different neuropaths that will produce your consciousness. There can even be many different versions of your consciousnesses produced at the same time. Which means you are or you can be much more than a singular body producing a singular conscious at a time.
Putting these ideas together we can answer the question: What is it like to be dead? You can not be aware of being dead you can only be aware of being alive or conscious, consequently, all that you will ever experience is being alive with many different consciousnesses or awarepaths that can be produced with the correct structure and functioning of matter.
Conscious survival through time is very different from personal survival through time. Personal survival through time is the body's survival through time. Which is more important your body's survival through time without being or producing your consciousness or your consciousness existing or being produced without your body? You cannot imagine existing without being conscious but you can imagine not having a body or not having the body that you are used to seeing and feeling. Personal survival is limited to the the survival of the body. Conscious survival is based on the structure and functioning of matter and not a specific body and thus is not limited by one body alone or the death of that one body.
