In the last two episodes, we have looked at near-death experiences and how our consciousness

is somehow able to relive our entire lives through multiple perspectives, sometimes when

our brain is off.

So, by now you've heard me explain why I think the following things.

One, the brain doesn't produce our consciousness. Two, our consciousness can exist

beyond death. We've talked about people who have returned to their bodies in a near-death

experience. In this episode, we're going a step further and looking at whether consciousness

exists after the body fully dies. Matt, I want you to think about something for a minute.

Your body is functioning right now, as in you're alive, and your consciousness is functioning.

Can't confirm.

But I can't see your consciousness. I assume it's there because you're sitting across from me and having a conversation.

Your consciousness is invisible.

Right, but what do you mean by that?

Here's my question.

If we can't see a person's consciousness when they are alive,

how do we know their consciousness is gone when the body is dead?

Why do we assume that what we can't see doesn't exist? For example,

our eyes can only see certain types of light. We can't see x-rays or infrared light, for example.

But we know they exist. So shouldn't we rethink our assumptions about consciousness?

If our consciousness isn't confined to our bodies,

why should it die when our body dies? When the physical body dies, what you've done is stopped

the restrictive mechanism of the physical brain and your conscious awareness is set free.
