Question about permanent death

I guess you guys never thought about that, did you?

Your brain can create anything for you to see, hear, feel, taste, and smell.

I've stood on the surface of a blue quark. I've expanded my body to hold the universe in the palm of my hand. I've gone beyond the universe and discovered a world in which the expanding universe was simply a blooming flower in a field of flowers.

I've experienced an NDE myself and I saw my own body laying on the bed. It was all very realistic, but I also knew that my brain wasn't functioning as it should be. I was dying. I wasn't dead.

I awoke and couldn't feel my pulse. I got up from bed and looked in a mirror. I looked strange and all the light looked like it was moving slow.

I walked around the house and then I heard wheel of Fortune on the TV. I couldn't understand my native language of English. My brain was dying.

A sound awoke me back to reality.
I was back in bed. I was truly awake.
My body recovered from this NDE over the course of the next couple of weeks.

I can tell you first hand that everything I experienced felt real, but that's what our brains do. They make experiences feel real. It's the only organ I know of that can translate electrical impulses from our senses and turn them into what we call awareness, or consciousness.

We know that if we cut off those electrical impulses, we cut off our experience of that sensation.

We can also artificially create electrical impulses in our brains and cause someone to see or hear things that aren't there.

That's one reason why it's very difficult to determine if we are merely brains in a vat, hooked up to some electrical wires, feeding us the reality of life.

OR

If we really are living bodies that exist as a functional set of organic chemistry arranged over time, evolving our intelligence and expanding our experience and consciousness.

In the wise words of me.
"I think, therefore my brain is still alive."
