Have you ever wonder how we came into existence? Does anyone have the earliest memories from when they were 2 years old?
I feel like I am suddenly here and yet one must wonder, what happens BEFORE life? Before you were born, what was going on?

You do?
In that case, when i die and go to Mars, im going to take one of their robots, and draw a penis on their camera.
Every picture they take of Mars will have a giant wang on it, and they cant do a thing about it!
[QUOTE=Z3r0747;23534094]What evidence? Science doesn't even know what consciousness is bro, let alone what happens after death. All that science shows at the moment are the physical processes that happen after death (decomposition and such).
I don't know why so many accept "nothing" as the definitive answer to what happens after death. I personally don't think such things could even be tested and measured by science.
Show me evidence that proves consciousness is a direct construct of the physical brain.[/QUOTE]
Well when processes in the brain stop consciousness ceases and you die.
So I'm pretty sure consciousness has something to do with the brain :colbert:
And why do we always have these threads? They're shit and filled with some of the most baseless shit ever, and without fail devolves into a religious argument at some point.
[QUOTE=one free man;23156125]Well, science has found that just before death, your brain releases a very large amount of a chemical that is released just before dreaming.
This could potentially mean that your concious is set into a permanent dream.
Therefore people who come back to life after being dead for a moment, may have either seen heaven, or a dream world.
The chemical also means that people who are dying may start to suffer hallucinations moments before death, similar to sleep paralysis. (except there is no longer need for paralysis)[/QUOTE]
What if an elephant stomps on your skull?
I hate these threads, for the reason that they always carry depressing messages.
But the one that was posted before:

Actually sounds pretty plausible. But what do people who die instantly get?

Consciousness is a very complicated set of electrical impulses occurring on nodes in your brain. Each of these 'nodes' or nuerons communicates a certain amount of time per second. When you feel something it's an impulse coming from that position which leads to your brain and then you 'feel' it. We can tell consciousness is part of a physical brain because when the brain is damaged consciousness is lost. Name me a single case where a man has written a book with no physical brain, or pet his dog, or had sex with a teacher. Exactly.
All you are, an everyone is is a really really complicated organic computer. You can dream all you want, but that's just fear.
You turn into dust.
Something I wrote a while ago, just a thought; Life made Lucid.
To be awake
That is a mystery
For when you sleep
When you dream
Most of the time, you don't know you're asleep
But in those cases of lucidity
Once you know, you never question
You never ask, "How am I dreaming?"
You only focus on the dream it's self
Maybe that's what reality is
A dream that we are blind to
Ignoring the signs it throws at us
And in death, we become lucid.
And we finally question the world
"Why was I dreaming?"
I'm pissed it didn't rhyme.
I'm not a rhymer. I only go for the thought of the moment.

To the earlier talk of consciousness I bring you, MORE CRAPOETY!
How can one prove they are self-aware?
You claim you have memories
You claim you know what you're doing
That you have control over your body
But how can I believe you?
For I am self-aware only to myself
Only I know I'm self aware
Only I know I have memories
Only I know what I am doing
Am I self-aware?
Or am I merely a play toy for your world?

[QUOTE=O'10er;23156312]Think of what it was like before you were conceptualized, before you came into existence. That's death for you.[/QUOTE]
Ok, so that means death for me would be the 80s.

He means that black void that you weren't aware of or could even imagine comprehending.
Some kind of paradise, some kind of punishment, maybe nothing. You can't know.
Here is a more interesting question:
What happened before you were born?
[QUOTE=larrylumpy;23155947][IMG_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/VlwP6.jpg[/IMG_thumb]
:buddy:[/QUOTE]
I hope this happens.
What I would like to believe:
You get born as a new person.
What I think happens:
You die.
It would be awesome, if you would just wake up from some VR pod, which was just a "teaching machine" to prepare for the real life or "sims 5000".
Anyway, most likely it'll be just like before you were born.
Which isn't that bad, taking that we all were "dead" 15 billion years before we were born.
No it will suck pretty hard, your consciousness dies, just total unawareness waiting for ya.
Come the fuck on Manhattan Beach Project and cryogenics. :argh:
Honestly, I don't even want to know anymore. I'd rather enjoy life now, then think about how things will be after.
Oh dear God, it's THIS thread again. I mean, really, can we just let it go or make a rule to stop with the weekly "derp derp nothing happens after death" and that shit threads? It's getting really annoying and we've been over it a thousand times, no one knows what death is like until they die.
You go to another plane of existence and your life's actions and previous life's actions are weighed. If you have achieved :iia:ness then you get to join with the god. Otherwise you get dumped back into the world. (As something else. Like a bunny.)
Nope just unending nothingness.
These threads are so fucking grating.

Stop being pissed off... there are people here who have really posted some depressing things about how they are truly afraid of what is going to happen to them after they die.
The people who are like "Nothing happens after you die :derp:" are obviously not helping the situation. It is pretty obvious that nobody can know what death is like until they die... so that is pretty useless

Interesting.
[QUOTE=Olanov;23543252]Interesting.[/QUOTE]
no that doesn't happen, when your brain is dead there are simply no functions at that moment. Actually lets explain that by simple process of a picture
