Or, if you hit your head really hard, you can lose consciousness. Yet, if your brain is wholly destroyed, you believe it could continue? Not only is that completely inconsistent with the facts observed in those cases of relatively minor damage or change I suggested above, but, how could that even be possible? If it is not physical, how do material bodies affect its motion? What explanation, apart from its physicality, can account for its correlation to the structure of the brain and bodily functions such as heart rate, etc.? Those amount to the probable inference that dissolution of the brain, like its formation, is the extremity of conscious experience...
If you mistreat your body it is obvious that also your consciousness will be affected.
It is like if you mistreat your vehicle.
How can you proceed with a damage vehicle?
You can loose a lot of consciousness but you also can expand your consciousness
provided you treat your body-brain properly so your first point make sense.
What doesn't make sense is your guessing that if the brain die also the consciousness die.
There is anything thing that really die and disappear in this universe?
If you study physics you should know that nothing die or disappear so why the consciousness
should die and disappear?
By the way the consciousness is not made of matter like the brain so how can something
abstract can be killed?
Quote:unless your willing to claim that you possessed consciousness prior to birth; if not, why would you continue to retain it after death? What's the difference?
Mine is a believe not a claim.
My believe is that there is a very good reason why we can't remember our previous lives.
In this life we find difficult, annoying and frustration to think about our past mistakes and
bad thing that we have done.
At times we just think that would be better if we never done certain things but is too late.
The problem however is that we just can't get rid from our mind these things from the past.
It is a burden to us.
Now just imagine if on the top of our mistakes in this life we also have to deal with mistakes from previous lives and lives before that.
It would be an absolute hell that is why we are prevented from remember anything from previous lives.
Someone understand the problem therefore this entity prevent us from remembering.
