Consciousness continues to exist after death
Most people are so afraid of death that they do not even want to discuss it. This is one of the topics that they talk about in a whisper and with extreme reluctance, not wanting to remember the "dark prospect" and focusing on how to live life more fully, plunging headlong into all possible pleasures. But ignoring death does not free us from it. At times, especially when we find ourselves in a state of personal crisis, thoughts of death begin to loom in our minds and make us think about the inevitable.
What frightens us most is not death itself, but the prospect of non-being, that is, our complete disappearance. The idea of non-being is so foreign to us that it is difficult to understand it. We are so deeply immersed in the feeling of our own consciousness that we cannot even accept the very idea of its complete loss. The point here is not so much that a person does not want to part with this life, but rather that he does not want to stop feeling himself. A person does not want to stop being.
Many human tragedies and sorrows could have been prevented if the idea of seeming nothingness did not frighten us, if we did not feel the impending hopelessness and seeming hopelessness. In many cases, the thought of the death of a deeply loved one is more painful than the thought of the end of our own consciousness. The loss of loved ones is associated with such inexpressible, heartbreaking pain, which cannot be compared with any other pain experienced by a person.
At this time, nothing can comfort us. The feeling of extreme devastation and despair that arises sometimes cannot be relieved either by religious convictions or by someone's kind words. The reason for despair and devastation is the feeling that this person is irreversibly lost to us, that his or her personality has ceased to exist, that we no longer have any hope of ever sharing with him or her love, joy and even pain. Religion can give us hope for a future life in a better world, but at the time of death, our deepest religious beliefs are fictional, and sometimes we throw them away with anger and indignation.
Therefore, when we think about death, we are most concerned about the question: does a person's personality survive after death and what happens to it afterwards. Most of all we are afraid of losing our innermost thoughts and feelings, the very essence of our being. We are so sure that this will happen so that in our lives we are passionately indulging in the pursuit of life's pleasures, leaving aside its most important moment - the time when we will have to experience the most frightening of all experiences.
If we were not so afraid of death, if we knew for sure that our life will continue after the death of the physical body, that our conscious personality will survive and the mind will not cease to exist, we could live with a deeper awareness of the meaning and purpose of life, with gratitude and joy.
We would get rid of the feelings of despair and grief over the loss of loved ones, because we knew that we would certainly meet them in another, wonderful world. We would treat other human beings with a sense of love and unity, and learn to enjoy life more deeply than ever before. In addition, we would prepare for this final journey, try to become better by accepting the experiences of life - both positive and negative - as an enriching experience in the development of our spiritual and personal consciousness. We would receive the greatest of all gifts - the gift of hope.

Curiously, there is a wealth of data supporting the idea that our consciousness and personality, after going through the trauma of death, continue to live. Many scientists believe that this is actually the case, but are hesitant to express their point of view due to the lack of empirical evidence. The very nature of science requires proof for every theory and postulate; for a scientist to make a life-after-death claim that has not been supported by repeated test experiments is putting his name and reputation at risk. Therefore, it remains for us to find the scientific data ourselves, check them and compare them in order to obtain convincing, weighty evidence of the existence of life after death. Among the strongest arguments supporting this concept are the laws of nature.
One of the fundamental laws of nature is the first law of thermodynamics, according to which energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Its shape can be changed by physical and chemical processes, but the essence always remains unchanged. Matter is something that has mass and occupies space and is a form of energy.
A simple example of matter is paper. According to the first law of thermodynamics, if the paper is cut into several pieces, then each piece will be considered paper, despite the fact that a physical change has occurred in the matter that we call paper. If the paper is not cut, but burned, its matter is modified through a chemical combustion process that splits the paper into different atoms.
These particles go into the atmosphere, leaving only ash in our hands. But this does not mean that the energy that formed the paper has been destroyed. The various components of the paper have been dismembered, but they continue to exist in our environment, although we do not see them. This particular form of matter cannot appear like paper, but all the particles that formed it still exist. Nothing is missing. The matter of the paper has not been destroyed - it has only been transformed.
This is simple knowledge that we acquired in high school. It is not for nothing that they say that there are simple answers to our most important questions, and this is true for the first law of thermodynamics.
When this law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it is referring to the electromagnetic energy that forms the atom and its subatomic particles. The entire universe is permeated with this glowing electromagnetic energy. The atom as such consists of three main particles: a proton with a positive electric charge, an electron with a negative charge, and a neutron with a neutral charge. The proton and neutron are in the nucleus, and the electrons rotate in tiny orbits around the nucleus. The number of electrons and protons in one atom is always the same, and it determines the nature of different elements and different manifestations of energy. Relatively not so long ago, scientists discovered new elementary particles - quarks, which are part of all forms of matter.
We have all heard about the phenomenon of telepathy and clairvoyance. Most people have had this kind of experience at least once in their lives. It happened to almost everyone that, after thinking about someone, he then "accidentally" met this person on the street, or this person suddenly called him. There are also so-called "prophetic dreams" when we clearly see an event that soon happens.
Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung advanced the theory that the combined subconscious minds of all humanity form a huge reservoir called the collective unconscious. According to Jung, when people sleep or fall asleep, entering the alpha state, they automatically plunge into the collective unconscious, where they can come into contact with other human minds. It is at this time that a person can meet someone whom he knows on an unconscious level, and thus exchange information. This unconscious exchange underlies one of the explanations for the phenomenon of telepathy and clairvoyance.
When we sleep, our mind moves into a world that is almost entirely formed from the images of our memory and experience. In this other world, ancestral memories may also exist, which are experiences of fear transmitted to us genetically through our parents. The world of the mind, often identified with the Astral world, is formed from images and symbols. This world is visual, and, as a rule, we are spectators in it. In this world, everything or almost everything that happens is symbolic. Many of these symbols are personal and only meaningful to the observer. Other images are elements or symbols that are common to all members of the human community.
Nothing we see, feel, or do in our dreams surprises us. The most incredible experiences, the most impossible situations seem completely normal. Supernatural beings, phantasmagoric forms, strange colors, cataclysms, divine or unpleasant experiences - all this is a part of our life in a dream, which we perceive as naturally as the experience of life in the material world.
Sometimes, though not so often, we realize that we are dreaming. This state is known as lucid dreaming. For the most part, we simply accept our nightly journey into the Astral world, or the world of the mind, as a very real and natural experience. This world of images, where everything is possible and nothing seems strange - the world of pure mind - was considered by the ancients to be the true world of the spirit.
If nature preserves millions of species over millions of years, it is logical to assume that it should also strive to preserve the human mind and its enormous creativity. This conclusion can be made based on the fact that nature preserves what is strong and valuable, and the most valuable thing that has developed on this planet in general is the human mind.
In accordance with these provisions, after we die, the physical body disintegrates into basic elements, which are then used by nature in the formation of other life forms. The mind, which is pure electromagnetic energy, left without a body and without physical substance, continues to exist in the astral world, where it becomes part of the collective memories and experiences of this world.
He is identified with the human spirit, the personality of the individual, and through him we identify ourselves in the world. While the world of matter leaves after our death, the world of the mind - our true essence, into which we plunge every night - is the final place where our consciousness continues to exist after the end of physical life.
In other words, based on the data of science, we can assert that our personality really survives after physical death and continues to live in another world or in another, astral, plane. But how long? Can we make contact with other beings on this plane? Are there angels and spirit guides? What is the experience of death like? Are there evil spirits? What is happening on the astral plane? Are there other worlds or planes? Is there heaven or hell?
Nothing that we can imagine, no matter how fantastic, can even come close to existing in reality, breathtaking pictures of the universe. Among the visual material obtained during Voyager's journey through the solar system, there are photographs of one of the moons of Uranus Miranda, which show landscapes more fantastic than in any science fiction novel. The mountains of gold traversed by giant fountains of molten metal soaring hundreds of feet into the air stunned astrophysicists.
Ernst Senkowski is undoubtedly the first scientist to devote his time and effort to the phenomenon of communication with deceased individuals or with other worlds. Internationally renowned scientists such as Nikola Tesla, G. Marconi and T. Edison once conducted experiments using special equipment in the hope of establishing such contacts.
Ernst showed me the photographs taken from the screen, which showed the image of the late German actress Romy Schneider. It was not clear - only the outline, but her features were distinguishable. It was a fragment of one of her films. Albert Einstein's face appeared on the screen in front of a television group during an experiment in Luxembourg. There was no voice - only an image. The group members were so shocked that they refused to further participate in the experience. Other researchers have reported similar results. Ernst explained to me that no one from the outside can interfere with these transmissions, because they come through a closed-circuit television system. These images and voices erupt against all logic.
One of the very first persons to appear in this way on the television screen was the face of Konstantin Rodiv, one of the pioneers of the technique of recording otherworldly voices on magnetic tape. His face, like the faces of all dead people that appeared on television screens, was an obscure copy of one of his lifetime photographs. It seemed strange to me, and I asked Ernst why a photograph of a deceased person should appear on the screen when he personally tries to establish contact with our world. Why doesn't the real image of this creature appear on the screen?
Ernst replied that the creatures themselves explained this by the fact that now they do not have a physical body, that is, there is no physical appearance that could be projected. Therefore, they use their own images captured in photographs during their earthly life. In this way, they try to identify themselves and confirm the fact of the existence of a person's personality after the death of the physical body. Then Ernst played Rodiv's tape, where he identifies himself and greets his audience in a deep, slightly hoarse voice. People who heard these recordings and who knew Rodiv well are convinced that this is his voice.
The spirit, or mind, continues to live after the physical death of a person. In some respects, the world into which a spirit or a disembodied person enters is very similar to the physical world, but the reality there can be changed at his will. The spirit can change the environment as if it were made of soft material. There are two different levels of existence in this world, and it is described as the union of many worlds in one.
When the spirit is reborn, it finds itself in the environment that it prepared for itself in its previous life. After the death of the body, the spirit passes to the other side, preserving its consciousness, and there is a completely different logic. When the spirit adapts to this new logic, it becomes very difficult for it to return to our way of thinking over time. Based on this, we can assume that consciousness there is of a different type, and it is due to a different perception of time, completely different from ours.
People who move to another world are considered multidimensional beings with multidimensional personalities. According to this concept, when a spirit is reborn, it can be reborn in several bodies at the same time. This is possible due to the fact that each human spirit has multiple dimensions and multiple consciousness. In addition, the spirit experiences all of its lives or incarnations as a whole - simultaneously, and not just as one life in one period of time. During transcommunication with a living human being, the spirit specifically uses names and images so that we understand that he remained alive after physical death. But neither names nor images have any meaning in the afterlife.
Later Ernst expressed his opinion that the best recipients of transcommunications are mentally gifted people. However, he warned that any attempt to make contact with deceased or unfamiliar beings, known in science as dynamic information structures, has a potential danger to the psyche. He believes that what he calls the PSI barrier, which is a natural defense against spiritual or mental "overload", can unwittingly open up.
When this happens, various phantasmagoric visions and voices may appear to the experimenter, which can lead to obsession or mental distress. Some experimenters share this concern and warn of the dangers of what they call "mediumistic psychosis," in which a person's obsession with the spirits of the dead can result in acute schizophrenia.
Therefore, messages from the other world must be interpreted carefully and methodically. Audible voices (sometimes similar to the voice of a person during the period of her earthly life), as well as television projections (outwardly similar to her during her life) should be considered as projections from the Subtle World, adapted to our sense of reality.
In the words of Ernst Senkowski: "We live in a world of probabilities, in which almost everything is possible." With the help of our motivations and emotions, that is, our mind, we are able to influence possibilities and turn them into probabilities. Everything is interconnected in this whole system; the difference is only in the strength of the conscious consciousness. Space and time do not exist in the zone of the mind. Life in these conditions consists of information exchange or communication in accordance with the principles of higher resonance. Evolution that transcends entropy leads to more complex systems through trial and error, through learning and adaptation.
