Survival of Human Consciousness Beyond Death

by Rapunzel in

to anyone's knowledge, has there been any scientific research into the question of whether human consciousness can survive beyond death?

i am referring to research studies conducted by neurologists, neuro-biologists, and neuro-physiologists.

as far as i know, reputable scientific studies feature such factors as control groups.

I'm so sorry ...

Sounds as tho you have certainly had your share, and then some, of physical pain.

I understand about ICU, I used to work in a hospital. A lot of people fail to make it out of that area, I am so glad you pulled thru.

As for your "Visitors", that is odd. I suppose some would say it was the pain and medication.... but you are the one that experienced it and you know what went on.

This again is the part where we always seem to have to "Justify" the events to ourselves or others. I hate that.

As for believing in Evil... I find that if asked, I will readily agree that evil in some "other worldly" sense exists... but, if asked about a "God" I just can't do it.......boggles the mind, doesn't it.

Sure, feel free to read my posts.... some are rather dorky... as I am not nearly as articulate as others here.

I look forward to your future posts and send you "Supportive Thoughts"...

(((Hugs)))

Sincerely,

Cas

Rapunzel,

Here is a post from earlier this year... I would be interested in your thoughts on it... (this was during the Twilight Zone time frame...)

If any are familiar with my history, you know that I have been widowed twice ,at fairly young ages. My first committing suicide at the age of 28.

Over the 10 years that that we were married… we often talked of death and tried to imagine what might be on the other side. He felt it was just a door way to the "Other Side" as he put it.

My Husband seemed obsessed with death and often brought up the thought of suicide, if things ever got to be too much for him, his escape hatch, I suppose. Sometimes he used it as a threat to get his way.

I heard it so often I didn’t give it much thought over the years. I was young and considering everything going on at the time …things just didn’t click for me, (while in the AF we did go to counseling, he refused to be honest with his feelings, at that time.)

During many of our talks of death, he always told me that when he "went" (died) that he would do "Everything" in his power to contact me from the other side. We had many long discussions over this…

I was told to "Keep on the Watch"… (where have we heard that before…lol).

I honestly feel that if there is, in fact, a way for the dead to contact us, he would have done it. He would have found a way. It has been 24 years and there has been nothing…"NOT" one thing has happened that I could honestly point to and say… "Yes, He contacted me today…"

My conclusions:

1. There is nothing after death.

2. The dead really are asleep in Jehovah’s memory.

3. The dead are not allowed to contact us.

4. They have to be invited in some manner… (which I never did)

5. That by committing suicide he lost all access to any powers.

6. Or, he is having such a "GOOD" time…he has forgotten all about me..!! J

Just wanted to share,

I wonder if the reason he never contacted me is because he is "Confined" to the area in which he died.

I am in Southern Ind. he died in Oklahoma... Something to think about.

My dreams are posted here too... strange dreams that went on for years until they reached a conclusion.

I have to say that your posts and my posts may be said to have entered into a sort of danse macabre. You know what I mean? It leaves me a little discomfitted, I think is the word.

Yes, I agree... not completely on the same level, but touching here and there on similarities. It does make one wonder... what's out there, if anything.

I have posted several times here, concerning that period of my life... I refer to that time as when I lived in the "Twilight Zone".

Your explanation of the events at the University gives me "Cold Chills"... seems a lot of effort was put into keeping the 9th floor off limits, for just idle talk.

I mention this fact because the university at which I taught in southern Taiwan had "displaced" a graveyard. I had it on very reliable authority that at least part of the university was constructed over what once had been a graveyard. In the year 2000, prior to the "door pounding" incident that I described in my previous post, a student - a young girl - committed suicide by jumping from the ninth floor of her dormitory building. Her dorm was distinct from, yet adjacent and connected to "A"-dorm, in which my office was located.

I wondered also about the house we lived in, in OK. Maybe the whole sub-division was built on an ancient burial ground... Who knows, I didn't get to stick around long enough, nor could we get any one to take us seriously enough, to find out.

I personally find it hard to understand how the dead - who have, after all, "passed on" to another realm - could possibly be concerned with where their for earthly remains lie. What concern is it of theirs?

Now that, is a question that I am going to ponder on......

Hi Rapunzel,

Wow, now that was eerie...

Have to relate to that also, when first Hubby and I lived in a house in OK, right before he died, cable TV was a new thing. We could only afford basic and had one or two movie channels. Back then they seemed to run the same movie over and over.

The one they kept showing at the time was, you guessed it... "Poltergeist". The first one. We seemed mesmerized by the movie, almost knew the script by heart. (we were not baptised, we had just studied off and on)

That being said, and I have posted this before, when in that house everything seemed to be in slow motion at times. When my husband and I would say something, it would be like a tape that had been slowed. Walking had the feeling of wading thru water. There was also dark grained paneling on the family room walls, the pattern seemed to take on a life of it's own at times.

Honest to Goodness, it looked like skeleton faces floating in and out.

He was in the Air Force at the time, we talked to people there and they all said it was just stress. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. All I know is my husband seemed to change before my eyes and as I said ,couldn't look in mirrors.

I am here, he is not. Why I don't know... since his plan was to take us all with him.

Your experience seems unexplainable, it makes no sense that someone would do such a thing and "quietly" disappear. I have often wondered myself if "those from the other side" are going to take the time to let us know they are there.......

"For Pete's Sake", pick up a pen and write us a message... type on a computer.... anything, besides just making noises and moving small items around.... At least then, we wouldn't have to keep trying to justify what we experience to ourselves and others.

Love your stories.... Fascinating.

Snoozy...who wonders if that happens to all accident victims.

Check out llbh's thread, called "Ever had a bad car accident ?", it's about the very thing you are asking.

So, unfortunately, I was unable to get any "thrird-party" observations or confirmation of what I saw. I really wish that I had been able to bring to the attention of those others in the van, but I was unable to do so. I guess I will never know for sure.

Isn't that the way it always seems to happen tho. It seems that when most of us experience the unexplainable... no one else is involved.

Almost like "They"... if "they" in fact exist, want it that way... so many questions, so few answers.

Sorry if I have opened up a can of worms here.

No need to be sorry, this is how we learn from each other... I appreciate your thoughts and find your story fascinating...

Rapunzel,

I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to bring out bad memories for you... I do appreciate you sharing your experience, I can see why it would be hard for you to relate.

First off, I had a great Uncle, that was an oral cancer victim, he also looked much as you described towards the end of his life. He never went out in public tho, doctors made house calls back then.

But, as for the couple standing still and not moving, I have no idea.

I will tell you that before my first Husband committed suicide... he "COULD NOT" look in a mirror...for a week or so before. It terrified him. He said when he saw himself, he had no eyes, only empty black sockets and and his mouth seemed too big.

Needless to say those last couple weeks were a nightmare for both of us... We feel he was hallucinating...in his case.

Odd that he would describe practically the same thing tho.........

If I had been in your situation, I too would have thought it very odd, and would have wondered also. I am sure it's an image you have a hard time getting out of your mind.

((((Hugs))))

Sincerely,

Cas
