Lately I have been reading a lot of Reddit posts, articles and scientific studies about consciousness, and the more I read the more I find myself leaning toward a materialist view, although I am still undecided and genuinely trying to understand both perspectives.
I’m curious to hear what convinced you that there is something after death and what convinced you that NDEs are not simply a product of brain activity.
For example I came across research suggesting that during the dying process some patterns of brain activity resemble those seen during REM sleep or memory recall, I know this doesn’t prove that NDEs are dreams but it made me wonder how proponents of NDEs interpret these findings
I also struggle with the idea that if consciousness truly ends at death life might just have no objective purpose. It seems strange to think that someone could live a long happy meaningful life and then 20 minutes after they die, no longer have any awareness that they ever existed
I’m genuinely interested in hearing what evidence, arguments or personal experiences convinced you that consciousness survives death. I am not looking for an argument, im simply trying to understand the reasoning behind your views.
Thanks.

I’ve always been curious about the afterlife and NDEs. I find them really interesting. After a night of insomnia I started thinking that all five of my senses and emotions are physical, and maybe consciousness depends on them. It made me wonder if a person without their main 5 senses could still be conscious.
I’m not sure if that idea makes sense, but I’d love to hear other perspectives on it. Thanks.

Busco formas de terminar la relacion de mi hermana con su novio porque es un tipo manipulador y asqueroso que habla de ella con terminos muy sexuales a pesar de que son menores de edad, y llevan juntos unos 8 meses. Está tan obsesionada con el que incluso se puso en mi contra cuando traté de advertirle. Siempre están juntos en su colegio, y el siempre la lleva a su casa en su coche nuevo para quedarse toda la tarde ahi,
Porfavor denme el mejor consejo posible porque que la manera de resolverlo siendo el “buen hermano” siento que se terminó. Entiendo que mucha gente dirá que no debería interferir en su relación pero no puedo ver esto y no sentirme mal por ella. Como hermano mayor me siento muy mal al respecto especialmente por lo buena persona que es ella.
