Consciousness and life after death in the evolution of intelligence

Abstract

To date, no scientific study has found reliable evidence of an afterlife; the mechanism of consciousness is two of the most challenging questions. Here, I show the hypotheses for consciousness and the probability of an afterlife through three simple thought experiments and theoretical evidence. I demonstrate the problems of consciousness, intelligence, and the relationship of the brain with remaining neuroscience, physics, and psychology; and why new physics and psychology are needed to fulfill the research objectives. Furthermore, I discuss how and why I suggest the probability of a continuum of consciousness or life after death. Findings show no alternatives other than the afterlife is challenging. In other words, I did not find different ways to discuss the results of those experiments, yet: more studies are needed to understand the new theory's mechanism precisely. Here, how and why new findings might help to evolve well-being and make a better world.

MY Dear great friends, My one and only attempt to make a happy, healthy, and more peaceful place on earth for all by uncovering the mysteries brain-mind of my best with the best psychological approach supported by many other scientific disciplinaries, including early Buddhist teachings, physics, philosophy, neuroscience, mathematics, logic, especially support with robust scientific methodologies towards policymakers to politicians; poorer to billionaires, youth to elders, ables to differently-abled peoples,......in a highly diversified world. In other words, find the science of beautiful mind and behaviors. Science of compassion, loving-kindness, sympathetic joy, and equanimity for your better/best happiness. IF the afterlife occurs, find out how to get ready or evolve our brain mind for better birth in the next life. However, I found it is a matter of intelligence evolution of personal, social, and global( and probably universal ). Finally, therefore,we have had to scan the mind virus by healthy mind virus of people support with your efficient communication, teachings( might be a better or the best way is - eight fold methodology), and training(might be a better or the best way is scientistific meditation in broad sense -Buddhist psychotherapy: because nearly 32000 peer review research - e.g. in PubMed central-on medication suggest us for such conclusion, at the moment): therefore intelligent decisions of all in diversified world and great leadership. I kindly invite you all to participate together- finding your/our great intellectual potential as one family, which might make beautiful minds in heathier, peaceful, generous, world: less / no hate, delusions, greed, bribery, corruption, violence, crime, war.... or in other words intelligence evolution towards truly happier world- as my one and only wish. Thank you! All of your 'best' friend Senarath Dayathilake Sri Lanka Any critical comments- to scientistific dialog -are most welcome: klsenarathdayathilake@yahoo.com +94712244455 +94777173971

It is fascinating work. Your work is associating consciousness with the existence of unkown particle (X-UQUPC) which is able to escape from dead brain and binds to anaother health brain. The escape of this particle with infinite velocity from dead brain, i think require energy, how do the dead brain act as the source of energy to sustain the infinite velocity. Also your work is proposing that consciousness does not entirely emerges from brain, meaning that the processes of consciousness cut across brain-body-universe or as you have proposed brain-particle. You can access also our review article at https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2301.09576 for more information about the physical processes for desribing the state of consciousness.

Dear Dr. Johnstone, Thank you SO much for your critical comment. I love and welcome more critical comments for healthy scientific dialogue on my article. 1. I want to emphasize that I did not suggest that the particular microparticle(two in one) emits before or after ejection from a dead brain and simultaneously bonds with the 'new-vacant' neuro system. But precisely on time in between ( or time T1 as to graph indicate ), live to dead brain. 2. according to remaining theories on physics, ''energy is the property of matter and radiation which is manifest as a capacity to perform work.' it may exist in potential, chemical, nuclear, electrical, thermal, and kinetic or other forms. However, according to general relativity, no energy or matter could move faster than light speed (nearly 300,000km per second), except quantum entanglement communication, which might be faster than 10,000 times light speed. Therefore no, where discuss the infinite speed and here I propose that those particles might not need any form of presently known energy. That is why we need new physics for future science, as discussed briefly in my paper. 3. my thought experiment suppose consciousness is not the result of brain matter or merely particle but interdependent. And particle continuum moves at infinite speed in infinite dimensions simultaneously as of live brain areas. And simply (any)one might not realize the big problem of the mystery of consciousness without knowledge of several disciplines knowledge including psychology, philosophy, maths, neuroscience, physics, and logic. I did my work without any institutional or financial support being Sri Lanka, a wonderful country, sacrificed my whole youth selflessly for humankind's well-being to make a better world.
