Consciousness and Afterlife 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 brain's relationship with remaining neuroscience, physics, and psychology; and why new physics, psychology, and philosophy are needed to fulfill the gaps in research objectives. Furthermore, I discuss how and why I suggest great probability of a continuum of consciousness - the afterlife. Findings show no alternatives other than the life after death. In other words, I did not find different ways to discuss the results of those experiments yet. I show how and why new findings might help evolve well-being and make a better world.

MY Dearest colleuges, I would like to share a recent comment on my article by a Sri Lankan Professor who is most cited research scientist for his work, in the country, the leading physicist Professor Kirthi Tennakone, former Director the Institute of Fundamental Studies, in Kandy, Sri Lanka, and who is among the world top 2% scientist, ( citations over 10009 )as well. His most of research based on quantum physics... Therefore l HUMBLY wish to PRESENT his comment here AND WAITING for YOUR CRITICAL COMMENTS as well: Professor Kirthi Tennakone says: """Senarath Dayathilake, I read your paper with great interest . So well written after much thinking and lot of referencing ( many of which I was completely unaware). Your ideas about consciousness are thought provoking. Keep it up and continue. I love if we are reborn,but I am unable fathom how it could happen. It is pleasure to note people of your caliber are in this country. Most people here holding high positions by the title are not interested (not able) devote time study deep issues."""

I welcome more critical comments for healthy scientific dialogue in 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 T1 in between ( or time T1 as the graph indicates), live to the 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 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 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, P.s. I sacrificed my whole youth selflessly for humankind's well-being to make a better world. Thank you so much, Senarath Dayathilake, the author ( correspondence; +94712244455, +94777173971 or by Email; klsenarathdayathilake@yahoo.com)

My Dear Colleagues 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 fundamental 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( not merely politicians). 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! Your criticall comments are welcome! coresspondence Author; klsenarathdayathilake@yahoo.com or mobiles; +94712244455, or +94777173971
