"Faith is to Believe ( understand) what we do not see; and the Reward of Faith is to See what we Believe ( understand) !" St. Augustine
"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat with him was Death," Rev 6:8
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: For thou, ( a spiritual consciousness ) art with me." Psalm 23 KJV
"There was no cosmic universe; then there was a cosmic universe. There was no planet earth with living life forms; then there was a planet earth with living life forms. There was no human consciousness; then there was a human consciousness. There was no afterlife; then there was an afterlife. It seems so simple!" Mr. George D. Patnoe., Jr!
The Very Big Picture:
A very long time ago, over 14 billion cosmic light years, before this cosmic universe even existed, there was a hypothetical state of nothingness. Then Something like a Great Planning Creator said, "Let there be the birth of a cosmic universe, with the lights of billions of galaxies, and then let there be the light of a sun in one of those galaxies, and let a dead planet appear at the very perfect distance from that sun, to allow the perfect earthly conditions for the first living and self-reproducing cell to appear on that planet. And then let the first living life form appear, and then let the first intelligent biological brain appear on that planet earth. And then let the first human brain and human consciousness appear on that planet in that cosmic universe, which of course used to be a supposed state nothingness. Or at least a state of cosmic existence without a living planet with living biological life forms with different states of consciousness. And then this Great Planning Creator said, "Let there be an afterlife too. Just let life be eternal! Because I, the Great Planning Creator, is also life eternal." And so it was. And then the fun really started!
So consciousness became aware of the of life on earth, of the cosmic universe, and of the misty mysterious realms of life and death, meaning the duality of life and death as a state of consciousness. It seemed, and was probably true, that every consciousness had a birth, a life, and a death. But consciousness, like the cosmic universe is always changing and evolving, even to the point where it now seems as if there is an cosmic astral universe where consciousness can enter and live, independent of the biological body, of the observable cosmic universe, and of the human brain; as immaterial states of cosmic universes and states of consciousness, with an astral consciousness, and even a spiritual consciousness. That strongly suggests and implies that there is no real death, only an afterlife for every living soul on planet earth. Maybe the moment has arrived when the human species should think about the big picture about life and death! How would the future of the human species change if it truly realized that there was no real death, only eternal life!
Preface:
When I was a boy, like many boys and girls, I wondered about death and dying, mainly because that boy attended a few different Christian churches, which lead me to stare up at the front wall to view a huge three dimensional statue of an almost nude male who was wearing a crown of roses, with a nail in each of his hands and feet. I felt sorry for the man on the cross, even as a brass statue. But neither my parents, nor the preachers or priests ever explained to me what this statue of a dying male was supposed to represent in anyway whatsoever. I could not but wonder about this human male figure, who was obviously dying a very agonizing death. (Little did I know that he was one among thousands.) After that image was firmly stuck in my very young mind, I watched many war movies with adult men shooting at each other, and killing each other, along with other human beings too. As a child, I truly possessed no concept of why human beings enjoyed killing other human beings, or why there was so much war. When I visited my grandmother who had photographed portraits of men hanging on her house wall, she explained to me that they had died in ‘The War.’ So I wondered about war, killing, murder, dying, and death. But as a boy, I did not understand anything about war, killing, murder, dying, or death. But as a man, I now understand more than I had hoped to understand as a boy.
Since those boyhood days, I have learned something about both the life and death regarding that man on the cross, and I have learned many concepts about the realms of life and death. I have learned a lot about human nature, and what evils exist in the hearts of the human species. I have read the Christian Bible that states that he biologically died, and then overcame his own physical or biological death, only to appear with the same biological body, as if he had never died in the first place. After reading and studying the Bible and other books, actually lots of books on many topics, over the course of many years, I had to ask myself, "Was his experience just a story, or a supernatural act, and was it even possible at all? What was the point of his death?" I have also learned something about war, killing, murder, dying, and death. I have learned that before I was born, there have been many wars, with millions of men, women, and children having been murdered and killed before I was born. I have also know that since I have been alive, there have been more wars, with even more human beings having been killed and murdered. Which leads me to me to believe that after I leave planet earth, more wars will kill and murder even more, possibly millions more, human beings, as if it was a natural event throughout human history and for the future for the human species. I have also realized that every individual living human who is born onto planet earth will die a biological death. That is a simple fact! So here are some questions for mankind. Why do human enjoy killing and murdering other human beings? Is it possible that there is an afterlife after death! And if there is an afterlife for every human being, why kill and murder at all, especially if there is a divine justice in the afterlife? Or at least some sort of self-justice, for all of the innocent dead humans.
So what is the story of life, death, and the afterlife? Can there be any reality to the notion that there is an afterlife that every human being can prepare for before their biological death? I have learned that there are religions that seem to make the whole process seemingly easy: prepare for heaven or hell, or prepare for state of nothingness. But what if the reality of the afterlife is that there is no heaven or hell, nor is there a state of nothingness either? What if there is another possibility that each human being and the general human species have never considered? What if the real realm of the afterlife is a state of an immaterial consciousness, and moreover, different states of consciousness, and not a certain place in this cosmic universe? What if the mysterious dilemma of death and the afterlife can be overcome by a new non-religious method, the method of a multi-dimensional consciousness, even while still living with a biological body?
A multi-dimensional consciousness means that any individual human being, and even the collective human species, can be consciously aware of many different realms of existence (s) and of a multi-dimensional life as states and stages of consciousness; whether a cosmic state of existence, mental realms of existence, and an afterlife existence, a true spiritual realm of existence, and even an existence termed God. Which implies that each one of those states of existence or realms of life are not human, nor are they biological. The cosmic universe is not biological. Mental realms of existence are not biological and surely the spiritual realms of existence is not a biological state of existence. And whatever God is, it is not biological at all. If there are different realms of life, of states of existence that are not biological before birth and during biological life and even after the death of the biological body, then why could not there be a realm or state of existence termed the afterlife that is also non-biological, namely a non-biological state of consciousness? And if a true spiritual state of consciousness is obtained before the biological death, would that not be eternal life, as a new and different form of life, namely a true non-biological state of deathless spiritual consciousness?
As a man, I wonder about life and death on planet earth; the life and death of all living creatures, but especially of human beings. Everyday, human beings are born, they live, they die! It is the simple order of life on planet earth. To the point, millions of billions of human beings will die one way or another: be killed or murdered, die of starvation, have a sudden heart attack, or even die a religious death. But here is the real question for each human being on planet earth, and for the whole collective human species as a whole. If every human being has an afterlife of some sort, do they know it, and if they know it, how to prepare for it? How would they live their individual and collective lives differently, if they thought about how their earthly decisions would affect their ‘souls’ or their states of individual consciousness in the afterlife? In other words, is there a way to prepare for the afterlife long before the death of biological human body?
It is a funny thing about death, while living on planet earth, as a human being. Some human beings rarely, if ever, have to face and deal with death, while other human beings not only have to face and deal with death almost everyday of their natural lives, but they are forced, even subconsciously, to wonder what, if anything, is beyond the death of their biological body because they are forced to realize that their moment of biological escapism may arrive in a split second. And as if some sort of mental dream world, the human mind usually draws a mental blank of what could exist after its human biological body stops moving.
In one very real sense, the human species is increasingly rising above their individual biological human bodies anyway because the human species has evolved into states of consciousness that the other biological creatures could not evolve into during the very long course of hundreds of million of years of biological and mental evolution. That means that the individual and collective human mind or consciousness is becoming more important for both the individual and collective human species. Therefore every human being must overcome their sense of a limited biological life and consciousness; and rise into a new sense of a living, eternal consciousness, meaning a life which is a pure state of consciousness, rather than a living biological body. Without a biological consciousness, or biological self-awareness, no living creature would know that they were alive at all. But with the human species, that is beginning to change. The only way to solve the issue of dying and death is a mental and spiritual transformation away from a purely biological life form to a life form of a multi-dimensional consciousness, thereby transforming a single or a one dimensional state of biological life into a multi-dimensional state of consciousness, even to the deathless realm of a deathless spiritual consciousness which knows no death, or a realm of space-time universe. Could it be that the male who many Christians falsely and wrongly profess to be God simply have possessed a multi-dimensional consciousness, but more importantly, the Christ Consciousness, which enabled him to transcend his own biological identity and life, and his biological death; which enabled him to be the prototype of an advanced human being, and also to be an example for the human species that death can not only be overcome, but that the Christ Consciousness as life, is eternal?
Introduction:
The human mind loves mysteries, even if another human mind has to solve the mystery for it. Either in book or movie form, or even in a real court room drama murder case, human minds loves to watch the outcome of any event that is external from itself. When that mystery is within the human mind itself, then there is no place to hide, and there is no place to hide for one of the biggest mysteries of human life on earth, namely the mystery of death, and the possible mysterious afterlife? Is it save to assume that every human being wonders about his or her own death, at least once in their lifetime, for whatever reason, especially after a certain age or after experiencing death as a common occurrence, or experiencing their own close call with their biological death? After all, it can be certain that every human being realizes that one day he or she will expire, stop breathing, be dead. Some human beings realize that fact sooner than other human beings. Many human beings live in war zones and see killing, murder, dying, and death everyday. Many human beings work in hospitals, and see dying and death everyday. Some police officers and military personal will definitely see the death of other human beings, and they have to also face the fact that they may die on the job, at any moment. And then there are those experiences of losing a relative or a close friend to death, which can forcefully cause the mental anguish and the powerful realization that one day, the observer will one day also experience death too. Yet, the living continue to walk on the earth, living their varied human lives, whether in the Americas, Africa, Canada, China, Europe, India, Russia, Mexico, wherever; or even up in the space station orbiting the earth. The plain and simple philosophical question is, ‘Why live a whole life time, only to die?’ might be a common thought in millions, if not billions of humans.
The human species is currently living in a completely different mental age or a different state of advanced consciousness regarding so many topics, which should include the topic of death, which should also be understood from a completely different mental perceptive compared with the old, one dimensional mental concept of a biological death. Before the modern age of advanced mental understanding regarding so many topics, the topic of death and the afterlife was dealt with in various ways, usually with some form of delusional religious notion of the cosmic universe, as if everyone who had an afterlife traveled to someplace up there, beyond earth’s blue sky, to those white spots. But now the human species aims different types of deep space telescopes into outer space, far away into the cosmic universe, and all those old notions about the afterlife and those white dots in the night sky should be changed to adapt to new information and knowledge and discoveries about the cosmic universe, consciousness, and death. Which means that a mental transformation has to take place within the human consciousness regarding the cosmic universe and those delusional religious beliefs regarding death and the afterlife. Since the human species now possess a completely limited different mental picture of the cosmic universe, it also needs a completely different picture of any afterlife that might exist. If there is not an afterlife in this cosmic universe, or even if there is, consciousness is still the main part of the afterlife which has not yet been the main topic of any discussion and concern for each individual mind, or consciousness, and for the collective human species as well.
The term and the reality of consciousness is a very important mental concept because all mental concepts and values and qualities that are located within each individual human consciousness and the collective human consciousness determines not only the earthly experience (s), but each mental experience as well. Religious blind faith beliefs never discuss the most important aspect of preparing for the afterlife, namely how to prepare each individual state of consciousness for the afterlife. As a matter of fact, the word and concept of consciousness are never mentioned within the current major world religions regarding any important discussion regarding God and evil and the afterlife, which are all metaphysical topics and discussions. But the topic of human consciousness must be the main topic of any metaphysical discussions regarding the God, evil, and the afterlife, .
Planet earth is a cosmic miracle with all types and forms of living, conscious, and intelligent life forms, biological or not; with so many types of living creatures on it that have been forever evolving, changing, adapting, transforming, mutating, and adapting, with the basic process of being born and then living, only to die a natural death, or slow painful death, or by being eaten by a bigger creature, or being bitten by a smaller, yet more dangerous creature, etc., etc., etc! Even plants with beautiful flowers can be deadly to certain creatures including human beings. Long ago, the human species arrived on planet earth with a different brain and structure of consciousness, with a pair of hands with a thump that can create, form and fashion simple and very complex weapons of killing, murder, and death. In the mental mist of the desire to kill and murder other human beings, was the mental quest to solve the supernatural and metaphysical problem of death, because it can only be guessed how many human beings have been born onto earth, to live a very hard life, to suffer everyday in one way or another, only to feel like their death was and is, a big cosmic joke. Because maybe they thought to themselves, why were they born in the first place, only to live a painful, suffering life, to somehow survive, only to die a sometimes painful and wasteful and an unfair death. In other words, what is the big point, the big purpose, of living on a living planet like earth in the first place? Could it be that consciousness is the most important answer to that question? Can the mysteries of life, death, and the afterlife, with a living consciousness, be solved before the biological death?
SUGGESTIONS OF LIFE ALL AROUND US:
The biggest and greatest suggestion and proof of life anywhere is here on planet earth, where there are both simple non-biological life forms and systems, and more complex biological life forms and systems. Since the first living cell appeared hundreds of millions of years ago on planet earth, planet earth has become home to countless life forms of both non-biological life and biological life. And yet, no matter how many countless numbers of living species and creatures that have been born only to die on planet earth, the process of earthly life simply continues to survive, evolve, adapt, mutate, change, transform, and develop until the planet is either destroyed by a cosmic event or until the human species itself destroys life on planet earth. After all of those hundreds of millions of years of both non-biological and biological life development, evolution, change, and survival, etc., arrived the human species, with the human brain and mind and consciousness, just as if a new miracle had arrived on earth. The birth of a new consciousness, the human consciousness, marked a new era on planet earth. The human species has taken on a new life form termed the non-biological states of an advance intelligent consciousness that all of those other creatures and life forms can not possess nor obtain, up to this moment in time.
Maybe to some thinkers, life on earth seems to be a cosmic miracle. Namely, that there is a living planet in the cosmic universe with ecological life systems that can support so many life forms with their own individual seemingly robotic birth and death processes, that it would seem even senselessly ludicrous to regard any of these life forms with the possibility of any type of an afterlife. Nevertheless, planet earth is located exactly the perfect distance from a small sun in this galaxy after billions of cosmic light years of cosmic development and evolution, with cosmic births and deaths of galaxies; a planet located exactly the perfect distance to earth’s sun to allow for the perfect conditions for any type of life to exist in the seeming void of empty space; to allow all of the necessarily ecological and geographical conditions and systems for very simple life forms to appear, only to evolve, mutate, transform, and develop into much more profound and complex life forms that can not only think with a biological brain, and better yet, to possess higher states of abstract states of consciousness, such as abstract states of consciousness of mathematical and musical and abstract lawful understanding, along with the metaphysical ability to not only have an afterlife, but which can be also be conscious of that afterlife before the death of the biological body. That process is a huge lawful metaphysical and spiritual event on earth.
From the simplest single cell organisms that are alive in the oceans and in each biological body, to all the various plant life, and animal life that have been alive on earth, in an ever changing, evolving and developing patters of life into all of the various sizes and shapes of biological bodies with their various mental functions and abilities, to the state and stage of the human brain and mind and consciousness; a consciousness which not only seems to beware of a concept termed the afterlife, but which can also be conscious of other external realms and states of existence as well. Some of those realms and states of existence would include: the cosmic universe and all of the mental universes located within the human mind and consciousness.
Because there are non-biological mental realms of existence which are neither cosmic nor biological, it must be assumed that if there is a realm termed the afterlife, it too would also be non-cosmic and also non-biological. So the mental states of existence could be included in the varied realms of life; meaning that consciousness itself is a state of life, because without any type of self-consciousness, the higher biological life forms would not be truly alive as higher life forms and states of consciousness. In certain types and states of consciousness there are already immaterial states of consciousness, which would imply that there are other states of immaterial aspects to consciousness itself, and therefore deathless in the sense that any abstract state of human consciousness will linger on after the biological death for any living human being that desires to obtain those immaterial, even true spiritual states of consciousness. If these abstract metaphysical and spiritual states of consciousness can be ‘carried over’ within each individual state of human consciousness to another individual human consciousness in the afterlife, and not only carried over, but developed into multi-dimensional states of metaphysical and spiritual states of consciousness, then there is no reason why consciousness itself could not be transported from the simple or complex biological state of consciousness to a true immaterial realm termed the deathless, spiritual state of consciousness, which would be life eternal, a deathless life.
In the big and grand picture of existence, from the beginning of the cosmic universe to all the life and thinking brains on earth, there are the multi-dimensional and multifaceted states of life which are connected to each other, even if they are external to the realm of the human species, and external from the human brain and human consciousness too. There are most certainly realms outside of the human experience that are considered life: life in the oceans, life in the ground, life in forests, on trees, plant life, insect life, various biological life forms, besides human life forms. Those other various life forms are now considered to possess a certain type of self-consciousness or self-awareness, but which are also aware of the external realms outside their organic living selfhood, as both living matter and dead matter.
External to life on earth is the cosmic universe, which in a very real sense, is a very living and very gigantic dynamic non-biological organism. Many thinkers ask themselves what is the cosmic universe and is the cosmic universe conscious of itself as a seemingly infinite cosmic system (s), with its own sets of laws, and for its own metaphysical purpose for its own self-existence. And billions of dollars are spent to develop the most technological equipment to explore and discover the external observable cosmic universe, which is a huge step for the human species to jump out of its own self-existence to ponder life in other realms, with other possible living life forms on other planets in other galaxies. But to ponder a possible life in the afterlife, in any afterlife at all, is to step outside a purely cosmic and biological state of life or existence, to other possibilities of life and realms of existence that are not simply biological on a small planet earth in this cosmic universe. In reality, a multi-dimensional life already exists before any death.
SUGGESTIONS OF DEATH ALL AROUND US:
All life forms on planet earth, including human beings, individually and collectively, have been and always will be under the constant shadow of death. But since the human species is now living in the highly visual world of technology, both physical and mental suggestions of death, killing, murder, and dying in one form or another are now transmitted to the human brain and mind everyday, faster than anyone could ever imagine before the age of television, computers, movies, and instant information. In the current age of global and instant communication, the numerous suggestions of death, killing, and murder, etc., are greater than any pervious historical period, even considering world wars; which even then, today’s instant images of death, killing, and murder seem to be so much acts of war as much as a common part of everyday life. In today’s age, the suggestions of death are so different compared to the old suggestions of death simply by disease, the sword, or natural causes; because the suggestions of death, the images and words of death, are on televisions, in newspapers, on the radio, and on computers in every home around the world. Today, the suggestions of death slyly, yet very directly, slip into the human mind and consciousness as naturally as the air that is breathed into the lungs. And for some human beings, many images of killing, murder, and death are all a game, something fun to do, as if it was all a game, a non event, an unavoidable occurrence which should never be questioned and pondered. Because how can the mystery of death be solved anyway? Of course, some suggestions of death exist to awaken human awareness to the dangers of the real earthly problems; like nuclear war, which could one day destroy all living creatures sooner and faster than ought to be possible.
Other suggestions of death regarding human problems include, guns and daily shootings to biological and chemical warfare which could one day cause the complete self-annihilation of the human species. More suggestions of death include everything from the various media venues that transmit the mental visual images and words, sentences, and concepts of death and or dying into the minds of every human being that watch the police and medical televisions shows and movies, violent movies, violent video games, medical and pharmaceutical commercials, natural phenomena that could kill tens, hundreds, or thousands or more human beings with one swipe of nature’s tools of destruction: earthquakes, tsumani, hurricanes, tornados, and even one day, something from outer space hitting earth so hard, that all weather patterns will be changed in an instant which the human species might not be able to survive, except those human beings lucky enough to be underground in one of many secret hiding places that governments have already made for chosen human beings.
And there are the schools and classrooms with teachers that teach and instruct various grades and ages of children about previous wars, in history classes, of the various wars throughout human history, with simple weapons and tools of war and battles in close up bloody and gory battles of biological bodies being cut up, ripped open, and basically slaughtered with many of the various war weapons that the human species have created. Then there are the mental images of modern day warfare of biological bodies simply shot with various sizes of bullets, or bombs, or any other type of quick killing device, like an atomic or nuclear bomb wiping out countless numbers of human beings and other creatures in a split second. So now, even in peaceful countries like America, children are being forced to face that fact that the human species is not a very nice biological species and during certain times of war, any human being is a target for death: babies, children, old people, women, along with all non-human life forms. Not a big joke at all!
How mentally and psychologically desensitized is the human species in general towards the disrespect of killing and the deaths other human beings? Many of these venues treat death and killing and even murder as a joke, as pure entertainment, an event and experience not to be taken seriously at all, mainly because there is little action that the average human being can do about other human being’s deaths in real life. Even some world leaders and their governments kill and murder their own citizens with no guilty conscience whatsoever. In many cultures, dying and death are treated with some respect, while in other cultures, dying and death are treated as if the death, killing, and murder of another human being is nothing, nothing at all.
And of course, there are the real life funerals that most human beings attend to at least once in their life, only to be forced to be hit mentally with the realization that one day the viewer will also be funeralized, with a silent voice stating ‘One day that will be me!" Then there are the religious images of dying and death. All around the world, there are religious paintings hanging on walls in museums and churches of the human man named Jesus, hanging on the cross, with the nails in his hands and feet, with a facial expression of helplessness, sometimes with those human beings who loved hammering nails into human being’s hands and feet, and then letting him and thousands of other human beings who were nailed to a pole of some sort to suffer for days by dangling on a tree or wooden post for every person to view. Over two thousand years later, people all over the world are still glaring up at the one human being who was persecuted for preaching love your enemy, and forgive your enemies, and do good to other human beings, even if they hate you enough to kill you. But today, killing thousands in a split second...no problem.
And to make that image even more real to the viewer over two thousand years later, some churches have a three dimensional statue of that human being dangling from a cross with nails in his hands and feet, and a crown of roses around his head, to be viewed by every human being who happens to see it. And the children who view the dangling and hanging man with a crown of roses around his head, all wondering, "What the heck is going on here? A statue of a dying human body in a religious church. What is the point, eps. if he rose from the grave to life again?
Of course, these suggestions are not the daily concern for most human beings who have to spend their time living life. And most human beings do not know exactly when or how they will die. But many, if not most of them, do know that when their biological end is near, that their minds are in a constant state of wondering about their death, and any possible afterlife; all the while they feel helpless to avoid the inevitable experience of dying a biological death. Therefore, the fear of not being alive is real! But what if the realm of the afterlife is as natural as life on earth? Was that the point of that human man who possessed the Christ Consciousness?
SUGGESTIONS OF AN AFTERLIFE:
Maybe the biggest problem with any suggestion of an afterlife is that any possible afterlife can not be seen with the human eyes, and therefore any realm of the afterlife can not be seen with the human brain either, at least to the untrained metaphysical consciousness. The belief of an afterlife has been around for some time during human history, and in various ways, as was demonstrated by the Egyptians who built those very large pyramids to store and to protect the bodies of their dead kings and queens, etc. Moreover, they also put items into their tombs which they believed would also go into the afterlife with the dead. Was it their fantasy or was it their experience that there really is an afterlife, and the Egyptians started to understand the afterlife?
Currently, especially within the Christian religion, the belief of either an afterlife or simply returning to life at the day of judgement is part of their beliefs. But other than those two examples, there is still the non-religious suggestion that there is an afterlife with the common out-of-body experience, which can be performed by various ways: by certain drugs, Transcendental Meditation, and other brain altering methods, and by pure happenstance, by an deadly accident, or other close calls with an actual biological death. An out-of-body experience means that there is a part of the individual human being, a part of consciousness, that is thrust out of the biological body to hover above that biological body. Within that state of the out-of-body consciousness, an individual consciousness can see and observe what is happening to its biological body, and it can hear sounds, as in human voices and conversations, and it can also know, reason, even use common logic to self-communicate to try to make decisions, and to make sense of that out-of-body experience. This out-of-body conscious experience has been reported in many ways and I have personally talked to many human beings who have left their bodies and have returned to their biological bodies, never fearing death again.
Second, from a purely theoretical standpoint, if for billions of cosmic years there was not a planet with life on it, but then life appeared, and then consciousness appeared, only to develop into its current state of being able to understand realms which the biological eye can not see, like the mental realms of music, mathematics, the laws of the physics and astrophysics, and even the laws and processes of life on earth, then it might be assumed that the next step for this big picture process of cosmic development, life on planet earth, and then development of consciousness to its current state and stage of development, is the natural next step of that consciousness being able to transcend the biological body, space and time, and even this cosmic universe, to enter a new realm and state of existence after the death of the biological body, termed the afterlife.
Therefore, there is the grand suggestion that if human consciousness has developed to the point of transcending biological life on earth, to the point of simple abstract intellectual development, and then to the point of changing consciousness to new forms, even mutating to a spiritual state of consciousness, then to transcend the human consciousness which is already becoming less biological, and more metaphysical and spiritual, then it starts to ask and deal with the issue of an afterlife by overcoming the single limited and false mental concept of a biological life as the only sense of life, as a living entity, which some thinkers have stated is death to begin with. That is, to believe that life is only biological, or biological life is the only life, is death in itself. Because there is more to the grand picture of life, than any biological life form. This is true if part of the human consciousness is different and partly separate from the biological body.
Third, there are the religious and supernatural and metaphysical suggestions of an afterlife. Which if some religious and supernatural and metaphysical individual human minds have experienced an event regarding the afterlife, they are surely not going to broadcast it to the whole wide world for many reasons. But the main reason would be that anyone who has not experienced a religious, supernatural, or metaphysical experience with the afterlife would think that those who have experienced some event with the afterlife as crazy or insane.
Fourth, astrophysicists have used the terms multi-universes and parallel universes when dealing with many aspects of explaining this cosmic universe. That means that if the astrophysicists are beginning to comprehend the possibility of multi-dimensions of this cosmic universe, then that opens the mental metaphysical doors to the possibilities of new realms or states of existence, including a non-cosmic realm termed the afterlife, even if they can not explain it yet.
Fifth, the next suggestion of an afterlife is that certain human beings experience some sort of connection with another human being who has biologically died, and supposedly entered the realm of the afterlife. By connection it is meant some sort of communication with a human being who is no longer on planet earth, or at least not as a biological body. This could happen to a human being on earth who has never expected such an unearthly, or supernatural experience. These communications may arrive in different forms, but one type of communication with a deceased human being is by the mental method of the human sleeping dream world, or when the human brain and human mind is naturally less biological, and more immaterial, and more likely to experience a supra-dimensional experience between two different mental realms of existence.
In short, there is more and more evidence that there is some sort of an afterlife, and if there is a realm termed the afterlife, how is the collective human species supposed to know if it exists, and then how to deal with it? Or in other words, how to prepare for it, and even change the method of religious thought, and even political actions relating to the killing, murder, and death of especially innocent human beings? Not to mention the transformation of the collective human consciousness as a global event for new states and stages of consciousness!
THE EVERYDAY HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS:
Why be concerned with consciousness in any discussion about life and death? Because without consciousness, there would not exist a higher conscious life form, unless you count the atoms and other subatomic particles that are doing their thing. Even though there are every active cosmic, planetary, ecological, and geographical systems with their own sets of laws, laws which have a life all their own, a rock, or other dead matter such as dirt, or even the air, or a light wave, or even an atom, is not considered to be life form, a normal living entity, from the normal biological standpoint. Therefore, without consciousness, even a simple biological consciousness, there would not exist the deeper and more profound sense of existence, at least for human beings.
The normal state of consciousness for billions of human beings and other living creatures on planet earth, is what they are conscious of as a living biological body, and its five physical senses of sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch. This is normal and without those five physical senses, each human being would not be able to see the world, listen to sounds in the world, smell and taste and touch whatever they need to smell, taste, and touch. In one real sense, those five physical senses are one state of consciousness, and that state of consciousness is located within a brain, no matter how small and simple it is, or how large and complex it is. So most earthly creature possess a body with a brain that can see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. That is the main concept of conscious life on planet earth, as a state of living consciousness.
But there are states of human consciousness which have nothing to do with seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling, or touching. Within each human mind, there are other mental aspects and qualities and values, such as logical thinking, emotions, beliefs, and memories, etc., which are not material or physical things. Those mental qualities and values such as logical thinking, emotions, beliefs, and memories, etc., are invisible to the outside, external world. Those immaterial aspects and qualities and values of consciousness such as logical thinking, emotions, beliefs, and memories, etc., are not skin, bones, and blood. Other aspects to the human consciousness which are not based on sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch can be purely mental, like the pure mental realms of abstract understanding, such as mathematics and music, along with the psychological and metaphysical or religious or philosophical or any other abstract realm of pure mental understanding, like understanding the laws of physics, for example. Human consciousness can also be aware of other external and internal realms of existence, such as the cosmic universe and night dreams. Therefore, a biological consciousness has already been transcended to new dimensions and levels of abstract and immaterial consciousness. After hundreds of millions of years of life on earth, has consciousness in general reach a new point of development that it is now aware of new states of existence, including the state of existence termed the afterlife? It seems the answer is yes, even if not commonly understood!
If yes, it could be asked how these abstract and immaterial mental aspects, qualities, values, beliefs, emotions, and even memories, etc., influence consciousness for the afterlife, esp. when it relates to preparing for death and any afterlife that may exist. What are these purely mental aspects, qualities, values, beliefs, emotions, and memories, etc., and how are they going to influence decisions relating to death and the afterlife, while living on earth, and to help human beings to prepare for the afterlife? And what kind of mental aspects, qualities, values, beliefs, emotions, and memories, etc., does each individual human consciousness want to bring with them into the afterlife, as a state of afterlife consciousness? In other words, what type of consciousness is going to enter any type of afterlife? A very important point for preparing for any afterlife!
For however long it has been, the human consciousness has been aware of the dreamy hope that there is an afterlife. Now, is that mental dreamy hope for an afterlife a fantasy, or it is in fact a new sense of reality when dealing with the death? If yes, that means that since the birth of the cosmic universe, and life on earth, and the birth of consciousness, a new realm as been created, born into existence that is not cosmic, earthly, biological, or even mental. Which means that there are other realms of existence that are not cosmic, nor mental. And only consciousness is the tool to know it, to understand it, and to enter it as a state of conscious existence.
A ONE DIMENSIONAL ...or ... A MULTI-DIMENSIONAL STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS
Since the beginning of life on planet earth, both ‘robotic’ and intelligent life forms have been increasingly conscious of their specific individual self-conscious existence. And increasingly, the general conscious and intelligent earthy life forms have been increasingly aware of the external earthly and cosmic universe. The human species is both intelligent and conscious of its own self-existence and the external earthly and cosmic universe. Every human being is aware of their biological body, and that that biological body is living on a planet earth, and all human beings can look up at the white spots in the dark night sky and know that there is an external cosmic universe. This is one example of a basic one dimensional state of consciousness, and the beginning of a multi-dimensional state of consciousness. Some simply earthly creatures may not possess a complex state of consciousness, but they are alive, then die. Other creatures are self-conscious and they are also conscious of their external environment A living creature knows it lives on earth that is located in an external cosmic universe. A very simple concept. Any creature that is aware of its own body, and knows its external environment to any extent. A one dimensional state of consciousness.
A level above this one dimensional state of consciousness is a state of consciousness that is aware of more than simply a biological body, or any form of a body, and its external surroundings. The next step for consciousness is to become aware of realms which are not biological body life forms, and to become aware of invisible states of abstract understanding such as mathematics or music or the laws of physics or the laws of true metaphysics, etc. When an individual human consciousness is transformed into non-biological states of consciousness, it begins to reach, to touch, and become, new and different states of consciousness, which include any deeper understanding regarding any true abstract realm of mentalism which is not biological, not material or physical. Then that newly transformed single or individual state of consciousness, or collective consciousness, is aware of both their biological bodies, the external earthly and cosmic universe, and is also aware of the deeper mental and psychological realms of existence, and also of any abstract understanding which is not biological nor cosmic. In other words, a more refined state of human consciousness is aware of many invisible realms of existence which can not be seen, heard, touch, tasted, or smelled. Multi-dimensional states of consciousness can be aware of both the biological body, the external earth and cosmic universe, and also of all the varied intellectual mental realm within consciousness, and the afterlife realm.
In regard to the afterlife, an even deeper and higher understandable multi-dimensional consciousness will be able to transcend the limitations of the human brain and mind, to begin to understand that afterlife realm which exists independently of the human brain and mind, but which the human mind can begin to understand and become not only aware of as an external state of existence, an existence it will at one moment enter, but which the human mind, consciousness, can prepare for before the death of the biological body. A higher multi-dimensional state of consciousness is going to be aware not only of the cosmic universe, life on earth, all of the various mental realms of existence, but also of the realm termed the afterlife, before death. And to do that, the human mind must overcome its limitations of what it conceives of as life in the first place. Human life becomes a multi-dimensional consciousness, less material, and more spiritual!
A MULTI-DIMENSIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS: A Short Synopsis.
Biological, Mental, Moral, Scientific, Cosmic, Religious, Metaphysical -Spiritual. The Afterlife!
In many ways, some human beings already walk on planet earth with a multi-dimensional consciousness; but they are not aware of the abstract mental concept of a multi-dimensional consciousness, so they are not aware of their own limited multi-dimensional state of human consciousness. When some human beings walk on planet earth with a simple, one dimensional biological state of consciousness, other human beings walk on earth with their biological state of consciousness and with a mental multi-dimensional intellectual state of consciousness, even if that consciousness is not yet metaphysical and spiritual. Some human beings possess a materially scientific state of consciousness, while other human beings possess a religious blind faith consciousness. And many human beings possess a combination of these different states of consciousness. These are a few examples of different states of human consciousness.
A Biological Consciousness:
Simply stated, again, a biological state of consciousness is a state of consciousness that is basically only aware of a biological body, skin, bones, blood, etc., with a simple brain operating with the sensory functions of the five physical senses of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. From the moment of birth to the moment of death, most of the human species is mainly aware of their biological body, even if that biological body is almost self operating in the sense that the heart is pumping blood; the lungs breath ‘air’ in and out; the eyes see light waves, the ears hear sound waves; and the tongue tastes food and the nose smells exactly like most other non-human biological animals and creatures. This is the state of a biological consciousness has existed for hundreds of millions of years, with of course; changes, adaptations, mutations, developments, and transformations of the general biological body into new living biological life forms during those hundreds of millions of years, up to and including the human biological body. Some human beings walk on earth from the moment they are born, to the moment they die, with only a self-awareness of their biological body, and their simple or complex human life going on around them.
The Mental Consciousness: Basic Human Intellectualism.
The basic human intellectual mental consciousness is those different mental realms that exist separate from the biological body, but which of course usually exist as part of the biological human brain, or the human mind, as different states of consciousness. The different states of the basic human intellectual mental consciousness are not the simple state of the self-biological consciousness, although a human being can possess both states of a biological body and a higher advanced mental intellectual state of consciousness. Within the human brain and mind and consciousness, there are more advanced and very complex levels of mental abstract qualities and operations and functions and abilities that the other biological animal’s brains do not possess, even after hundreds of millions of years of animalistic brain development and evolution. The human brain and mind and consciousness can be aware of very many different abstract mental realms and phenomena that all of the other biological creatures can not be aware of, even if they can see better, hear better, taste better, smell better, and even touch better than the human body and brain.
The human biological brain can conscious of pure mental realms of understanding that all of the other biological creatures on earth can not be conscious of, such as the pure sciences of mathematics, music, physics, astrophysics, etc., along with understanding the biological body itself, the DNA, or genetic code, or even how the biological body and brain operates and functions. Moreover, the human brain and mind and consciousness can mentally understand the abstract concept of law, and it can also mentally understand all of the laws of any topic or field of endeavor. All other biological creature’s brains can not possess these abstract mental realms of existence, and there must be a huge metaphysical reason why after so many millions of years of biological life on planet earth, the human brain is so completely mentally intellectually different compared to those other intelligent living creatures on planet earth. Maybe to discover God?
The Moral State of Consciousness:
Another state of consciousness is the moral state of consciousness, where the human brain and consciousness is able to consciously know the duality of good and evil, right versus wrong, and it is able to try to make decisions which are either good or bad, right or wrong, animalistic and barbaric or more humane and civilized. Indeed, with almost 7 -10 billion human beings living on a small planet, being civilized versus barbaric with senseless killing and murdering should decrease war instead of increasing war. This dual nature of good and bad, right and wrong, animalistic or civilized is one of the reasons for religious thought, and for the concept of a society of law and laws. A moral or ethical state of consciousness is a higher state of consciousness versus the animalistic kill without guilt consciousness. Of course, many human beings do evil in the name of good. Very bad indeed! With nuclear weapons becoming increasingly more popular, that means trouble, some day. Unless human mental intellectualism overrides the urge to kill.
The Scientific Consciousness:
The scientific consciousness is the abstract consciousness of exact understanding regarding the most basic and the most complex laws and operations regarding all material and physical phenomena, which includes a very long list of topics. This exact understanding has allowed the human mind and brain to learn to harness, to control, and manipulate the material and physical phenomena that the eye can and can not see with the human brain: light waves to make laser beams, and sound waves to make radio waves, and electricity to power light bulbs, and of course, sub-atomic operations to create nuclear warheads and bombs. Usually, the exact scientific consciousness is not concerned with the religious consciousness or the moral consciousness or the metaphysical and spiritual consciousness. But that might change sometime in the future. Maybe not? In general, the materially scientific consciousness is concerned with understanding for the sake and purpose of creating new material and useful products, even to make life easier and better.
A Cosmic Consciousness:
A cosmic consciousness is a human mind consciousness that is becoming increasingly internally aware of the external cosmic universe as a state of existence, and it structures, laws, and structures. The big point here is that the current state of human cosmic consciousness is completely different than the purely simple biological state of cosmic consciousness, with whatever the human mind was delusioninglly conceiving and thinking about the cosmic universe before this modern age of deep space telescopes. Moreover, the human consciousness can not avoid a mental transformation since it first began to view into deep space because the limited human biological consciousness with a simple human brain with delusion religious mental concepts must be changed to coincide with the updated knowledge about the cosmic universe. Along with the fact that by probing and peering into deep space forces the human consciousness away from the biological body into a completely different mental realms or perception that are not earthly, biological, and not even purely mental either because the cosmic universe is going to exist whether there is a human brain and mind to observe it, or not.
The Religious States of Consciousness:
By a religious state of consciousness, it is meant any mental conception, even if it is wrong, relating to the topic of God and evil, as non-earthly and non-biological states of existence. The human mind has created many theories about God and evil, while the other animals probably do not think, or mentally conceptualize abstract conceptions of God and evil. Maybe they do, but they can not communicate their mental perceptions to human beings or other earthly creatures. So there are many different mentally religious concepts relating to God and evil, and how human beings should relate to those mental religious conceptions, even if they are outdated, and rather primitive, and delusional. That is not to state that there is not a God that is human made.
The Metaphysical and Spiritual States of Consciousness:
By metaphysical and spiritual states of consciousness it is meant a state of consciousness that is above the biological, cosmic, and even human brain consciousness, to a metaphysical state of consciousness, which may or may not be truly divine and spiritual, but which should be truly divine and spiritual. There are differences between delusional states of a humanly created metaphysical consciousness and a true metaphysical and spiritual states of consciousness. The main different is that a humanly created metaphysical state of consciousness is mentally created by the human mind, whereas a true divinely and spiritual metaphysical state of consciousness is created by the Divine Mind, or that pure realm of Intelligence which is termed, God!
The Afterlife State of Consciousness:
The afterlife state of consciousness is an individual and collective state of consciousness that is aware that there is an external ( not cosmic ) state of existence that exists as a separate universe, after the death of the biological body, but also of course, before the death of any biological body. It has probably existed for sometime, at least thousands of year, and it might even be stated by yours truly that the general human consciousness has created its own afterlife, as a real state of existence, even if that humanly self created afterlife was impelled by a higher dimensional living intelligence. With the very real possibility of a separate realm termed the afterlife, the individual and collective human consciousness can prepare for that afterlife state of existence and it can also experience very strange phenomena even before the death of the biological body, once the human consciousness begins to transcend its own limited one dimensional biological consciousness for higher levels and states of consciousness. Because the general human mind and consciousness is increasingly becoming aware that there is a separate and external state of existence termed the afterlife for each individual human consciousness, the human mind and consciousness is becomingly increasingly aware of its own immorality. And with the fact that if there is more than one universe, multi-dimensions of universes, than the observable universe, other strange, supernatural phenomena is possible, and even unexplainable to the limited human brain and mind. This is true because usually any supernatural event and experience is from another dimension to the human consciousness, and not the other way around.
This should not be surprising to an advanced multi-dimensional human mind and consciousness, but it would surprise the simple one dimensional biological mind that only believes what its limited human brain and eyes perceives as reality, as if reality could be seen and observed with a limited brain and limited biological vision. The simple one dimensional biological consciousness is so limited that it would read these words and disbelieve that there is any possibility of an afterlife. That of course would be a natural expectation for the one dimensional biological consciousness. How could a one dimensional biological state of consciousness mentally perceive the afterlife? It can not perceive any realm, mental or not, that only a multi-dimensional consciousness could mentally perceive as a true external reality.
With this very real possibility of an afterlife universe, for each individual human being, and for the collective human species, each individual human consciousness must learn how to prepare for their own afterlife before the death of their human biological body, and the one way to prepare for the afterlife is by possessing a multi-dimensional state of consciousness, which many human beings already possess even if they are not aware of the abstract concept of a multi-dimensional consciousness. Now, the only way to prepare for the afterlife is to prepare their individual human consciousness for the afterlife because it should be obvious that the skin and bones and blood of the biological human body does not enter into the afterlife. But even if it did, it would still have to be a state of consciousness. Even if the biological body enters an afterlife, it would still be part of a multi-dimensional consciousness.
Summary Up To This Point:
After hundreds of millions of years, of countless species with one dimensional conscious living biological creatures on planet earth, the modern day human species arrived with the mental ability to possess a multi-dimensional state of consciousness; a multi-dimensional consciousness which includes a biological self-awareness, various mental intellectual awareness (es), a moral consciousness, a scientific consciousness, a cosmic consciousness, a religious consciousness, and a metaphysical and spiritual consciousness, along with the consciousness of an afterlife. The human self-biological consciousness has been slowly evolving, developing, mutating, and transforming into higher mental states of individual self-conscious awareness which includes the individual self-conscious awareness that experiences the afterlife. Therefore, question or issue is not what is the afterlife as a place, because no matter what it may be conceived of within the limited human mind, it does not matter what the afterlife is as a place. And how could anyone ever answer such a question anyway, with a very limited human brain? Therefore, what is truly important is not the biological body, even if the primitive human mind believes that their bodies are going to rot in hell or go to a heaven, or somewhere else. What is truly important is how can each individual human self-consciousness prepare for the afterlife because it is consciousness that is the part of each human being that is going to survive the death of the biological body. But even if the biological body did survive the earthly death in the afterlife, consciousness would still be the most important aspect that would have to prepare for the afterlife, not the biological body.
How can the issue of death and the afterlife be mentally and spiritually be solved? Surely not with the limited brain’s perception of life and death, a brain that experiences most of life with the limited five physical senses. If the deep life of an afterlife was judged only by what the five physical senses perceive as ultimate reality, then every living creature surely dies into a state of nothingness. But here is where the line is drawn in the sand. The five physical senses are a world apart from those realms of consciousness which are not dependent on the limited five physical senses. Even the big earthly human problems have to be solved with abstract intelligent rational thinking, knowledge, information, wisdom, and understanding, which are different aspects within consciousness than the normal limited five physical senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch.
In should be recognized that even within the human species, there have been different states and stages of consciousness. What the caveman and even pre-modern day human beings were conscious of as ultimate reality is not what the modern day human mind is conscious of as ultimate reality, even if they all walked on the same planet earth. What makes the modern day human being different from other biological creatures is not primary their biological body, but its modern day consciousness. Should not this truth be applied to the modern day issue of death and the afterlife? That is not to state that all modern day human beings possess a modern day consciousness. On the contrary, the majority of the human species is still mentally limited in their mental perceptions of what ultimate reality is, what life it, and what death is, and what the afterlife is, as a state of consciousness. But that will change over time.
That there are different states and stages of consciousness, from the birth of the first living intelligent state of consciousness, up to and including the current state of human consciousness, which should be no surprise to any intelligent human being. And it could hardly be argued that within the state of individual and collective states of human consciousness, that not all states of individual and collective human consciousness are exactly identical, except for the simple biological functions that are preprogrammed into every living biological creature. It could be stated that most of the mental states within human consciousness have been programmed through hundreds of millions of years of brain and consciousness evolution and development. Some parts of the human brain have been carried over from other species brains that lived very long ago.
So beyond the simplified state of biological consciousness, what other states of consciousness exist, even on a material plane of rational thought? What makes human consciousness different than all of the other species that arrived before the human state of consciousness? Well first of all, basically, the human consciousness can truly understand different realms of physical - material, mental, and abstract phenomena that the other biological creatures with any sort of consciousness can not understand. But more than understanding life on earth, the human consciousness can understand realms or states of external existence (s) outside of its own mental realm, like the living earth, life on earth, the cosmic universe, and even other states of consciousness, even if those states of consciousness can not be seen by the human eye. Therefore, if the human consciousness can begin to understand its own consciousness, and the eternal cosmic universe, etc., then it should also be hypothetically be able to metaphysically understand the external realm and state of consciousness termed the afterlife. If there are different states and stages of human consciousness, then there is the possibility that is an aspect of each individual human consciousness that is able to transcend all life on earth and this space - time cosmic universe, before the biological death, to enter into a transformational spiritual consciousness before the afterlife state of consciousness? A spiritual consciousness is deathless!
The Birth of Biological Life Forms and The Birth of Consciousness: A Metaphysical Purpose!
It is commonly thought that this cosmic space-time universe did not exist, and then it was impelled into existence. Nor was there a planet with living intelligent life forms on it, that life did not existed anywhere, at least in this part of the cosmic universe, which means consciousness did not exist anywhere in the universe too, unless the cosmic universe is somehow conscious of itself. After this cosmic universe popped into existence, and it expanded for approximately 14 billion light years, a sun appeared in this galaxy with planet earth located at the perfect distance from that sun, and then after earth’s very long preparation for the perfect conditions for the first living cell, the first living cell appeared on planet earth. Somehow, his very first cell divided and divided to form into endless types of living creatures, some creatures were very simple and some creatures were very complex. Some creatures possessed no brain and other creatures possessed very complex intelligent brains. During that very long process, the very first human being with the beginning advanced intelligent brain walked on planet earth, to start a very long and new journey for the development of the human species. So the first living cell on earth finally become the first advance intelligent human brain on a living planet earth in this cosmic universe. How? Why? For what purpose? Was it an accident or a very gigantic miracle? Was the Cause of it all a God?
Since the birth of that first living cell on a single small planet, countless numbers of births of general and collective species to very specific biological species have lived and died on planet earth over hundreds of millions of years; from the simplest and smallest of creatures to the biggest creatures that are not alive anymore. Moreover, during those hundreds of millions of years of both non and real biological life, the realm of consciousness was born. The realm of consciousness that was a self-consciousness as a body, a biological consciousness that was conscious of the external planet earth, even the sun and moon.
Before the birth of a biological consciousness, there was no real self-consciousness, unless you regard the seemingly self-consciousness of the cosmic universe, and the seemingly self-consciousness of the living planet earth. But the birth of a dramatically completely different state of a biological consciousness meant that consciousness could see, hear, smell, taste, and touch the external world around it and even internal worlds within itself. In the beginning, that simple state of biological consciousness lived on the earth, walked on earth, doing little else except eating, drinking, reproducing, and dying. During those hundreds of millions of years, the biological forms of consciousness changed, mutated, evolved, developed, transformed, and continued to survive until the human species arrived on earth. With the birth of the human species, and its long development, arrived a new state of consciousness, which is today’s very complex human consciousness. The birth of biological consciousness has changed and been transformed after hundreds of millions of years to the human brain and intelligent consciousness. When the birth of the first living human being with a human brain came into existence, a new form of conscious intelligence arrived which can and has achieved wonders that no other living creature with a brain has been able to achieve up to the current day. It has taken many hundreds of millions of years to arrive at the current state and stage of human life and consciousness on earth, and to the current state and stage of conscious intelligence; but it could all be destroyed, wiped out, in a very short period of time. What a waste that would be!
Over and over again, for hundreds of millions of earthly years, every biological species was born into existence only to die, again and again and again, both individually and collectively. Will the death of individual species, and specifically of the human species, ever end? Or will the births and deaths of new species simply continue endlessly, forever, until the end of life on earth? Or will the human species be the last biological species to live on planet earth? Every living species and therefore every living creature is born, only to die, with a life in between, usually struggling for survival, with forces and events usually out of every creature’s control. But is there a metaphysical reason, a spiritual purpose, for life on earth, for consciousness on earth, especially the human consciousness, and a deeper reason for the human species, for the human brain and mind and consciousness? A deeper meaningful purpose than for the simple and purely biological and economical survival, for both the individual human being and the collective human species as a whole, especially over many hundreds of millions of years of biological and mental - consciousness evolution? It would seem a bit senseless, from both a cosmic perspective and a metaphysical perspective and even from a biological evolutionary standpoint, that the only reason the human species was impelled into existence, to be born again and again just like all other living life forms, only to simply die, even vanish, individually and collectively as a human species. But what if there is a cosmic, metaphysical, and even a ‘God’ reason for the human species to be located on planet earth? Namely to simply overcome, to transcend the limited biological selfhood, and this space-time cosmic universe, to mentally and consciously, awaken to deeper and more profound states of abstract spiritual states of consciousness, even before the death of the biological body, and then to survive the biological death by both the individual and collective human consciousness surviving into an afterlife, into an afterlife state of consciousness?
There are a few different ways to view the metaphysical and philosophical reasons why each human being is born onto planet earth, into the universe of life and death. One reason of course is the very simple and very primitive purpose of sexual reproduction and procreation as a primitive and primary reason and explanation for each individual biological human being born into the world, onto planet earth; for the sole purpose of regeneration of the human species. But currently, earth is already over populated, from certain viewpoints. Each human being is born onto the earth, only to work until death, with no ultimate purpose whatsoever, with the possible few exceptional human beings who live for some higher, metaphysical, and spiritual purpose. Or is each human being who is biologically born onto earth, possessed with the unique ability and with various special opportunities along the their human life path, to make a decision to search for something other than eating food, making and spending money, having sex, sleeping and dreaming while sleeping, to live as long as possible until the moment of their last breath? Could it be that the one ultimate purpose for every human being is to awaken to higher dimensions of consciousness, which would include the consciousness of an afterlife, and even a consciousness of God itself? After all, could it not be higher and more intelligent states of consciousness which impelled the cosmic universe to give birth to planet earth, and to living planet both before and after the arrival of all the varied life forms on earth, and then force the human brain and human consciousness to become aware or conscious of those higher states of consciousness, returning full circle, human consciousness being conscious of higher states of consciousness, even the consciousness of God’s self-consciousness? Would that not be the highest purpose for the human consciousness? In effect, those higher states of intelligent spiritual consciousness that started the whole process of a cosmic creation, of life on earth, and of the human consciousness, can now be conscious of by the human consciousness that is slowly being transcended and transformed to those higher states of spiritual, deathless states of consciousness.
Therefore, is it possible that each human being is naturally born onto earth, with a biological body, and human brain and human consciousness, for a higher purpose, a divine and even spiritual purpose, to overcome their limited human biological identity by identifying even their human self-hood with their state of consciousness, instead of their biological body, which would imply that each human being has the possibility to be more than their human biological body, which implies a true divine spiritual consciousness, a spiritual consciousness which is independent of the biological body, and even the human brain. Maybe that is the cosmic or even divine and spiritual, or ‘God’ reason and purpose for the general human species in the first place; to evolve and mutate into a state of spiritual consciousness that is higher and above the simple biological state of existence. Now then, if that state of human consciousness was to transcend and surpass the limited and unchanging biological body to become a higher, or meta-human self or state of consciousness, even a real spiritual state of consciousness, which can transcend a limited human consciousness of death, to mutate into a spiritual consciousness, which knows nothing about birth, maturity, and death, then the human species, both individuality and collectively, would advance to higher states of consciousness, even while on planet earth, thereby overcoming the biological death, before the biological death. Then that advanced human species would not only be able to avoid its own nuclear and other possible means of self-destruction, but it would also mean that there is another realm or state of existence beyond this earthly life for the collective human species, and possibly for other creatures as well. A new higher, multi-dimensional realm of invisible consciousness termed the afterlife.
It would also mean that the human species is going to be impelled into not only new states of consciousness, but it will also be impelled into news states of human existence, which would include a new era of global peace instead of global war, and possible self-annihilation. The choice is clear! WAR or PEACE! Death or Life! A new state of global consciousness, of life instead of death!
Summary:
There was, supposedly, no cosmic universe. Then there was a cosmic universe. There was no earth, no life, no consciousness. Then a sun and an earth, and planetary life appeared. Then, biological living life forms appeared. Then a simple consciousness appeared. Then the human consciousness appeared. During that very long timely process, the afterlife consciousness also appeared. It seems like a natural development from nothing to an afterlife.
LIFE! Is Life Only Biological or Is Life a State of Consciousness?
What is life? Is life purely skin and bones and blood, namely biological, namely one dimensional? Or is life multi-dimensional? Is there an immaterial sense of life with an immaterial intelligence impacting the material sense of life with intelligence? Has life evolved from biological life forms to states and stages of consciousness? Is consciousness a higher state and stage of life than all biological life forms? Why is there life on planet earth at all? Why is there human life on planet earth? After all, the human species has not encountered another living cosmic species, even though other living species and creatures probably exist somewhere in other galaxies, even if they are so far away that the human species probably will never discover, meet, and communicate with them anyway. Mainly because this cosmic universe is expanding so fast that it would be impossible to contact another living species in other galaxies because each galaxy is spreading farther and farther apart from each other. Therefore, should life on earth be taken as a precious invention of some force beyond the human mind’s ability to fathom the real reason for all life on earth? The modern day metaphysical question for the human species is what is life exactly, and where is life located exactly; simply in a biological body, or within states and stages of consciousness. Are there different dimensions of life within different dimensions of consciousness? Are there states and stages of both life and consciousness that are not located within a biological body and brain? Are there both internal and external states of living consciousness?
Another great mystery for most of the human species, with a life which always seems to end in death is, what is the purpose of human existence, of life, of living? Why has the general concept of all generalized biological living species evolved to the point of the human biological species, a biological species with a higher degree of intelligence and consciousness? In the big and grand biological life picture, the human species has a rather frail and weak biological body, with a more complex brain and consciousness. Was the ultimate goal and purpose of the human species to make a lot of money? Buy a house and a car? To party with music, dance, and drugs? To possess a hobby; like collecting cars, or model trains, or to collect dolls, coins, stamps, or even planting flowers and plants in a garden? Is the purpose of human life to simply live for as long a period as possible, simply to die, into a state of nothingness? Is human life a grand cosmic joke for every living creature on earth, which might imply no divine judgement for good or evil human actions! A human species that can create and build computers and spaceships, yet can not solve the mysteries of life and death is a comic species that must begin to understand eternal life.
Is the ultimate purpose for the human species and the human consciousness to evolve into a meta - supra- spiritual state of consciousness, both individually and collectively? Other biological species have possessed higher brain functions relating to the biological sensory functions than the human brain, yet the human brain possesses different and higher mental functions relating to abstract mental reasoning and forms of understanding, and conscious awareness. Up to the current period of historical significance, a very limited number of human beings possessed the mental ability to see deeper into the mysteries of life, and death too. But the human species has already entered into a new age of global and collective information gathering for each human being, along with a higher and better cosmic consciousness, and even a better understanding of the human brain. That means that anyone with the proper means and channels can learn all about topics which were before limited to only a few individuals. (Which of course is the problem with nuclear bombs and weapons, etc.) But what about the deeper and more profound mysteries of life and death? Could it be that the real grand purpose of the human species, meaning the human brain and consciousness, is to discover the mysteries of life and death, before the biological death?
The other modern day grand achievement is that because of all of that new information, knowledge, and increased intelligence, the human brain and individual and collective consciousness is changing too. That means that the abstract human consciousness is becoming more important than the biological body for so many reasons. And if that is the case, then the death of the human biological body is becoming secondary to states of individual and collective consciousness, with certain states of consciousness being able to transcend into the realm of a non-biological afterlife, or a pure life state of consciousness. If the collective and individual human consciousness is changing into new forms of immaterial mental realities and states of consciousness because those mental realities are even more real and more important than the biological life, than a new standard of consciousness is going to influence the future for the human species. That means that the future of the human species is depended on new states of mental awareness, a living mental awareness that is completely different and separate from the living human biological body. Some of those new states of individual and collective human consciousness have no choice but to become metaphysically spiritually deathless states of consciousness, meaning states of non-biological states consciousness that are completely different and separate from the human biological body. That means that billions of human biological bodies that are alive on planet earth have to be exchanged for the more important aspect of a higher, deeper, more profound metaphysical, spiritual, living, life-consciousness. That alone would end all wars, rape and murder, killing, murder, and death. For the human limited consciousness to transform into real spiritual states of consciousness would mean overcoming the biological death even before the real death of the biological body. To serve spirit, or consciousness instead of skin, bones, and blood!
WHAT IS LIFE BEFORE DEATH: A Multi-Dimensional concept of life, of existence.
Most human beings, meaning most human minds, have been mesmerized into believing that life is only and purely in a biological body, a biological body they ‘live in.’ But is that true? Isn’t there life outside the biological body too, long before the biological body existed? Life, or states of existence (s) also exist outside any biological body. There is the external state of existence of the cosmic universe, maybe other cosmic universes, with their own sets of elements, structures, laws, and operations. There is the external state of existence of the living planet earth, with its ecological and geographical and weather systems all operational by their own set of laws and procedures. There are the external states of life and existence of all the realms of earthly life, from ocean life to planet life to non-biological life to biological life forms that are not human. And those realms of existence are the realms of existence the that human brain and eyes can see. How many life forms can the human brain and eye not see? Why wouldn’t there be other states of existence (s) that the human brain can not see or observe with the human eye? Like a state or realm of existence termed the afterlife!
Without these perfect states of existence, namely a cosmic life and an earthly life, biological life would not exist at all. So there are at least those two realms or states of existence that are independent of the biological body; a cosmic state and an earthly state of existence. There has to be at least two realms of life, a cosmic life and an earthly life for biological life forms to exist at all. A third realm of existence would include the invisible sets of laws that seem mathematically perfect! These seemingly perfect sets of invisible immaterial sets of mathematically laws, and other laws too, have to exist to help structure, guide, and operate all of the external conditions of cosmic life and earthly life for advance biological life forms to exist and to survive. There has to be an external living environment for biological life to exist in, and then there has to be the many biological forms of biological life to lead up to the higher state of human life. Both the cosmic life and earthly life are independent of any specific biological life. The cosmic universe is an independent realm of existence, or dimension of reality which is not dependent on earth’s ecological or biological life forms. The cosmic universe is not biological. Biological life is only one form of life on planet earth. A possible fourth realm of life or existence wold be any extraterrestrial life forms existing out there in the depths of this cosmic universe, or in a different cosmic universe, allowing for infinite possibilities of infinite types of living, conscious, intelligent life forms.
If the concept of life, meaning states of existence, was elevated higher and deeper, into the more profound state of living consciousness, what would have to be included would be the invisible states of psychological, mental, metaphysical and spiritual states of existence, that are, again, in their own way, separate from the cosmic realm, the earthly realm, and even the biological realm, which of course seems a bit silly because it seems that without the biological body and brain, there would not be those abstract mental realms of existence which are independent of the cosmic, earthly, and biological body. But there is a metaphysical order to everything in life, and the order seems to be; the creation or existence of the cosmic universe, earthly life, and biological life forms up to the human brain, and then abstract intelligent consciousness, and an afterlife consciousness, or the afterlife universe.
With the human brain came new states of existence termed the collective and individual states of consciousness. The grand life order of the cosmic universe, earthly life forms, biological life forms, and then states of existence of higher dimensions of living consciousness, along with the different aspects of collective and individual consciousness that are alive, a living entity, separate and almost independent of the biological brain, earth’s ecological life, and even the cosmic universe. So if there is a supreme order to everything important in the big and grand picture, than consciousness is not a state of existence which should be taken for granted either. Oh no indeed. Consciousness is the most important aspect of being a human being on planet earth and in the afterlife too.
That has been proven and demonstrated by any individual consciousness that has exited the human biological body and brain before the death of that specific human biological body, when the individual human consciousness is in a separate and independent realm or state of existence usually termed the astral sphere or universe; or that immaterial cosmic universe or realm which is non-atomic and less material in nature than the current observable cosmic universe. By less material it is meant not solid, which seems silly since the observable cosmic universe is not solid either. And if there is at least one separate realm of existence termed the astral sphere, then there are other possibilities of other less immaterial dimensions as well. Therefore, there are other realms or states of existence besides the visible cosmic universe, earthly life and its life forms, and even different from the human consciousness too. And only a truly developed metaphysical and spiritual human consciousness can perceive those invisible states of existence that the human brain and eye can not normally see and observe, not even with a deep space telescope.
Therefore, when astrophysicists speak of multi-universes or parallel universes, they never mention other possibilities of a multi-universe and parallel universe like the astral universe, or that astral sphere which is the realm where all out of body experiences have occurred. Why would they? How is the human brain and mind going to measure and know the laws of a realm termed the astral sphere, or other realms that the physical scientists can not see, nor observe? That would imply that the concept of life and consciousness is not only multifaceted and multi-dimensional, but so is the concept of a multifaceted and multi-dimensional universe. To sum up, there is a realm of the observable cosmic universe, and there is the realm of earthly ecological life and plant life, and a realm of biological life, and even a psychological life, or mental life of consciousness, along with the realm of perfect governing mathematical laws. And if the astral sphere is counted as a realm of existence, then there is the possibility of other realms which are not in this cosmic universe, although they could be connected to this cosmic universe and to certain states of human metaphysical consciousness, and the afterlife would be counted as another state of existence or state of life.
There are other examples of individual states of consciousness outside or external to the biological body and brain. But the question for present day human beings is, ‘Is there more life in their individual states of consciousness than the life that is inside or related to their individual human biological bodies? Once the human biological body matures and is fully developed, it changes very little for the rest of its days. And for most of the human species, so does their individual human consciousness, but not for all individual human states of consciousness. For many of the unknown number of states of individual human consciousness, what changes within their consciousness is more life, more alive, more living, than the life within their biological bodies. The human biological body operates almost robotic, while the human mind and consciousness can possess feelings and emotions, logic and reasoning, and memories, a sense of wonder and discovery, and many other immaterial qualities. In a very deeper and more profound reality, the values and qualities that exist within each individual human consciousness are more alive and therefore more important than their individual human biological bodies, which basically operates on autopilot, in most regards, than some states of consciousness, which is sometimes in a constant state of mental battle for the truth about life and death. And those battles should be solved before consciousness enters the afterlife. Of course, the deeper and more hidden states of the individual and collective sub-consciousness is more complex than the normal states of the simple biological human consciousness. For some individual human states of consciousness, it could be argued that their individual state of consciousness is more alive, more real, and therefore more important than their individual human biological bodies
The problem and hindrance for realizing the fact that they might have the possibility of an afterlife, for most individual human minds, is that they believe that life in general and their life specifically, is purely and only biological; meaning life is only in a biological body. But as can be observed by any living creature, the death of any biological body, or millions or billions of biological bodies, or even of all biological bodies, does not mean that life on earth will cease to exist, even if the human species is completely destroyed. There will surely be some type of life that could still exist, and probably will exist, even if the human species was wiped off planet earth. Lets hope that never happens, at least until our sun explodes and this little part of the cosmic universe will be gone forever. But if there is a completely different realm termed the afterlife, and if all human beings enter that realm termed the afterlife, than that realm would be not only the new universe for the human species as a whole, then it should be the goal for the human species to prepare for while on earth. Such a simple concept, but very deep and profound.
Now that all that has been stated, what is the main dilemma for each human being who will one day die a normal biological death, but who hopes to retain and regain their living consciousness as a separate state of life from their biological body? In other words, is each human consciousness a separate state of life which will continue onward after its biological body is dispensed with, as a new state of life. Is a living consciousness more a state of life than the biological body which is a conscious living biological life form? Can each individual human biological consciousness be transformed into a metaphysical state of a deathless spiritual consciousness before the death of the human biological body? Which means that the human biological body is in a sense already disappearing from the human consciousness before a biological death, and during a spiritual birth. There are not religious questions, but very deep and profound questions of life and death, and the afterlife.
If the human biological body is mainly robotic, meaning it operates and functions automatically from the moment of birth to the moment of death, then what is truly important is the state of both the individual and collective states of human consciousness. It is only consciousness that holds the immaterial and invisible values, qualities, mental perceptions, states of abstract intelligence and knowledge and wisdom and understanding, that have influences on what the individual human biological body and collective human species will do, especially after a certain age, when each individual human being must make his or her own decisions about life and death and the afterlife from morning to night, until their last breath.
Therefore, the issue for every living biological consciousness is what is the state of their individual human consciousness before death, for the sole purpose of the afterlife consciousness? And the second question is, what is the state of the collective human species consciousness relating to dying, death, and the afterlife. How would the human species change if it truly understood that every individual human consciousness continued living after it left earth?
Death! Is the Death of a Biological Body the Death of Consciousness?
Is death, or the end of an individual’s biological life, the end and death of an individual consciousness? A one dimensional state of biological consciousness would state that the death of the biological body is the end of life itself. But a multi-dimensional state of consciousness would state that there is a part of consciousness that is deathless, even if the body is not moving. This is a new question for all of the human species up to and including the modern day human species because every living creature on earth seems to die, which is in fact what the biological brain and eyes sees and observes. Here is a question for the human species to ponder: If the human biological species possesses the mental ability to understand different and higher levels of mental abstract realms of existence, including states of spiritual consciousness, then should not that spiritual consciousness help prepare the human consciousness for the afterlife? Can the biological eyes see different states of consciousness, or even the afterlife? No! Then what is the afterlife? Can consciousness the mental tool to see the realm of the afterlife? Is a biological death the end of consciousness? Or does consciousness enters new realms of existence after an earthly death? If those realms of existence are understood before death, then consciousness is really for the afterlife.
From a purely atomic standpoint, all atoms simply change from one state to another state. That means that even the atoms that compose and constitute the biological body simply change into other atomic forms. But is pure consciousness dependent on atoms? Is not all life and consciousness multi-dimensional? If life is multi-dimensional and if consciousness is also multi-dimensional, then death and the afterlife should also be regarded from a multi-dimensional mental viewpoint instead of a simple one dimensional biological viewpoint of life and consciousness. That simple mental transformation should change the limited one-dimensional mental perception of death as an experience that appears to be a state of biological nothingness.
Two General Views of the Death and the Afterlife. Nothingness or Somethingness!
In the general human mind or the general human mentality, there are two complete different basic mental viewpoints on the possibility of an afterlife for every human being who dies on earth. The first general mental viewpoint is that there is no afterlife, and the second general mental viewpoint is that there is an afterlife. The first viewpoint of no afterlife assumes that when each biological body stops breathing and moving, etc., that each individual biological human body, and each individual human consciousness, goes into a state of nothingness, never to experience any type of life ever again! A mental concept which should by now seem less possible to the one dimensional biological consciousness. The second general mental viewpoint of a real afterlife assumes that there is a part of each human being, presumably an immaterial part of each human being that enters a non-earthly realm of existence termed the afterlife, which used to be thought of as a place in cosmic outer space somewhere, because for hundreds of millions of years, no living creature on planet earth really understood anything about the cosmic universe. And in a way, they still do not understand much about the cosmic universe, but at least they can see and observe it better than the pre-deep space telescope human species. But the human species does understand more about the cosmic universe than it did not to long ago. So now the human mind believes that there is other space - time dimensions that are independent of this cosmic universe, with the afterlife being one of those external realms of existence, usually termed the astral sphere.
The first general mental viewpoint of a death of nothingness is based on a one dimensional state of biological consciousness with a intelligent brain, or mental model of consciousness that believes that the biological human body and brain are the only identities of all human beings as life forms. Therefore, this one dimensional biological consciousness believes that once the human biological body and brain stop moving or operating, whenever it stops breathing, etc., that the human being is gone into a state of nothingness. That mental viewpoint would allow certain human beings to live on earth with certain moral and ethical decisions for living out their human and earthly lives. Of course, some human beings commit horrible crimes and murders even when they think that they might have an afterlife, and other one dimensional biological states of consciousness live good and productive lives even if they believe that they will enter into a state of nothingness after their biological deaths.
The second general mental viewpoint, which is usually based on blind religious beliefs, or some dreamy wish, or a supernatural experience, like an out-of-body experience, that might prove or demonstrate that there might be an afterlife; that there is some realm outside and beyond planet earth, where a supposedly immaterial entity of each human being goes to when the biological body is ‘dead.’ In one sense, there is a seemingly subconscious religious or non-religious hope for a multi-dimensional state of life, of existence, of a biological life, and mental life, and a soulful life, on planet earth. And then some state of each individual human consciousness travels somewhere beyond the grave, even if it that general ‘place’ is still undefined, vague, even mysterious. Logic would dictate that if the human biological body is not entering the afterlife, then only a living human consciousness, or some aspect of each individual human consciousness can enter a state or realm termed the afterlife. If these semi-religious minds began to understand the higher metaphysical multi-dimensional consciousness, then the puzzle would be solved.
A multi-dimensional consciousness is a multi-dimensional life. There is no other explanation for the afterlife, nor for solving any mystery of life, and of God and angels, and other supernatural phenomena like UFOs. A multi-dimensional conscious life experiences can be applied to both the external and internal human consciousness. There are obviously different realms of conscious and non-conscious states existence within the human consciousness, but also external or independent of the human body and human mind. Many examples could be given here, but the four main examples would be the four main states of existence which exist and are operating within sight of every biological creature. First, there is the cosmic universe which has been in existence as a state of living existence for billions of light years. The external cosmic universe is a separate entity apart from the human brain and consciousness. Second, there is earth’s geographical and ecological existence on planet earth that has been in existence for at least hundreds of millions of years, probably longer, being external and independent or separate from the human species. Earth’s natural geographical and ecological states of existence are separate existed before the human species arrived on planet earth. Third, there are the countless non-human biological life forms that existed and exist as a separate state of existence, independent of the human species. In other words, simple life forms and biological life forms have existed before the human species, and could still exist after the human species. Fourth, there are the psychological mental universes that exist within each individual human brain and consciousness, which are again, separate from the cosmic universe, the geographical and ecological life on earth, and other creatures with brains. If the realm of an afterlife is added to these four separate realms of existence that exist separate from the human brain and consciousness, then there are at least five separate realms that exist separate from the human brain and consciousness. That would make at least five ‘universes’ or realms of states of existence that are independent of each other, and yet also connected to each other in various ways. Include abstract laws which only the human mind can understand, and that would be six realms of existence. Include a realm of God, and that would make seven states of existence which are separate and yet connected to each other.
These two very simplistic mental viewpoints relating to the human death of each individual human being, and also to the death of all living creatures is based on limited mental life models as to what is life, and what is death, and therefore what is the afterlife. Those viewpoints are also based on the sole evidence of what the human brain and eye can see and the ear can hear, as if the only realities of life and living are only what the human brain and human brain can see and hear, etc. Yet it can not be denied that what the human eyes see and the human ears hear, etc., are not only very limited indeed, but can also fool the human mind into many false conclusions regarding the truth regarding life and death. Because the deceptions of the limitations of the human brain and human mind are everywhere, they cause mental blindness, meaning ignorance, regarding both life and death. What a multi-dimensional mind can see is more important than what the eyes can see; meaning what a multi-dimensional consciousness can understand as life, as states of existence, independent of skin, bones, and blood.
Consciousness! How many different states of existence can the human consciousness be truly conscious of as reality, as life and death? Can certain states of human consciousness can see and hear and experience mental phenomena that are hidden from the biological eyes and hears, and even the brain too. This fact can not be over emphasized enough. It could be stated that that fact is one key to understanding all supernatural phenomena that might be and could be experienced even in the human experience. How else, by what other means could other invisible realms of existence be experienced by human beings with limited human biological bodies and brains, on a small planet in a multi-dimensional universe? Regarding the many aspects of trying to answer the mysteries of life and death, there is no other way than a multi-dimensional consciousness.
In the old, primitive days of very limited information and education and knowledge, there were those two simple mental views of nothingness and somethingness, that human beings would have formed because they had little else to work with, to draw conclusions, and to form any factual knowledge about the afterlife, unless a human mind was inclined to mentally experience an experience of extrasensory perception, or ESP, or an experienced outside of their mental models of the world, the universe and other aspects of life. Those two mental views of nothingness and somethingness are also based on the very lazy, simplistic mental life models of the general human mind, ever since the general human mind started to deal with dead human biological bodies and death itself. And for a very long time throughout history of life on earth, once any biological body had stopped moving, meaning being alive, that probably was the end of not only each biological life, but also of any possibility of an immaterial afterlife too. But everything has changed! Especially the mental aspects within consciousness and its ability to be non-biological, immaterial, even spiritual, or deathless. Is it possible then that both the cosmic universe and the human consciousness has evolved into a higher states of consciousness which has allowed for a new cosmic afterlife and an afterlife for the human consciousness afterlife?
But could there be a better explanation, and a more modern explanation regarding the afterlife, besides the simplistic mental view of nothingness, and somethingness, regarding the unavoidable life experience facing every human being on earth, irregardless of age, sex, education, skin color, financial statues, nationality, culture, or anything at all. After all, every human being must come to terms with the reality that death will visit them, sooner or later, in some way, expectedly or unexpectedly. If there is an afterlife for every living human biological human being with consciousness, or at least with an advanced consciousness, then the question becomes, what is life as a state of consciousness? What is a multi-dimensional consciousness?
A multi-dimensional conscious human being on planet earth, on a very simple level, would imply that every human being possesses a biological human body of skin and bones and blood, and even a thinking brain with different states of consciousness, and even a deathless spiritual selfhood. Those are three different states of identity for each human being. The first being a biological body of skin, bones, and blood. The second being a state of consciousness. The third being a true spiritual identity or selfhood. If every human being does possess a true, spaceless, timeless, immaterial spiritual identity, and if that identity become their state of consciousness while still possessing a biological body, that would be a multi-dimensional consciousness before death.
WHAT IS THE AFTERLIFE? A Physical Place, an Event, a State of Consciousness?
If there is not a state of nothingness after the death of the biological body, then what is the state of the afterlife? Is it a place somewhere? The human mind conceives the afterlife as a place because the human biological body is currently located at a place called earth in a limited, or unlimited...depending on how you view this cosmic space - time universe. Even if the afterlife is a place, or possible places is some other universe, what would go to those place (s) would be each individual state of consciousness. So what about the place called consciousness? Is consciousness located in a place like a biological brain, or can consciousness have the ability to disembark from the human biological brain and body to experience different dimensions and states of being? Maybe there is more than one afterlife state of existence depending on how each individual state of consciousness has not only lived its human earthly life, but how each individual human consciousness developed into a spiritual consciousness before the death of the biological body, to prepare for the afterlife.
Is there an afterlife? If yes, what is it? Is it a material solid state, like walking on planet earth, or is it an immaterial state, like the astral sphere? In general, many emotional religionists believe that there is a heaven or a hell awaiting them after their biological deaths. But even if there is a heaven or hell waiting for those emotional believers, are they not generally missing something very important? Generally, emotional religionist believe that if they believe in something or someone, that they will go to a place called heaven. But if their biological human bodies are left behind to decompose, and if their consciousness enters either their heaven or hell or wherever or whatever, would not it be more important how their consciousness enters either heaven or hell, or wherever or whatever, or in any state of the afterlife? In other words, what is more important concerning each individual state of human consciousness in the afterlife? Is the biological human body more important or is the state of consciousness more important? Is transforming external event more important or is it the internal event termed consciousness? What if the whole notion of an afterlife was purely a state of consciousness? This could be true because after hundreds of millions of years of both biological and consciousness evolution and development on planet earth, the general human consciousness has arrived at a very new stage of spiritual understanding about how to prepare for the afterlife. And many individual human beings have paved the way for modern day human beings to learn and prepare for their own state of conscious afterlife experience. Namely, that each individual human consciousness can become aware not only that there is an afterlife, but that each individual human consciousness can become a multi-dimensional state of consciousness to prepare for the afterlife, which can be applied to the collective human consciousness as well.
Again, ‘Is the afterlife a place, someplace where every individual human consciousness enters into after their biological body stops moving?’ That same question could be asked of life on planet earth. ‘Where is each human being located as they walk around planet earth?’ While on earth, each human being must walk through their earthly and human life with two aspects of their individual selfhood. The first self-hood is the biological body and the second self-hood is their mental and psychological states of consciousness. What is really more important while living on earth, the condition of each biological human body or the condition of each individual human mind and state of consciousness? The operation of the biological human body obeys and follows biological operations, while different states of consciousness produces different results.
So then the only issue left is where does each individual human consciousness go to after the death of the human biological body? Does the human consciousness enter into a state of nothingness or does it enter a new state of existence? If the human biological body is not truly solid, and if it simply follows the place where the mind enters, then if there is a transformation of the human biological body into the afterlife, even into an immaterial biological body, then what is still important is the state of consciousness before, during the transition, and after leaving earth. Therefore, the question for each human mind before death is what qualities, values, memories, beliefs, memories, and even states of understanding, etc., does each individual human mind or consciousness want to carry over into the afterlife, whether that afterlife is a place within this space time cosmic universe, or into a different space time cosmic universe, or even into a completely different universe or sphere altogether. In either case, body or no body, or purely mind or consciousness, what is really important is the state and quality of each individual human consciousness before and after the last moment of their earthly biological life.
The afterlife as a state of consciousness! Why should consciousness be the main concern for the afterlife? Because if the biological body stops moving on this state of existence, then the only left would be for a living consciousness to remain alive, even if not in a biological body. Well, from the very holistic grand and bid picture of the evolution and development of both this cosmic universe, and of all life on earth, up to and including the human consciousness, it could be very simply stated that the main purpose for any sort of consciousness at all, relating to the collective and individual human consciousness is not the consciousness of the biological body, but the consciousness of consciousness itself. That means that the most important quality within human consciousness is the state of consciousness itself, both before and after so-called death.
A Human Example of a Multi-Dimensional Consciousness: Jesus the Christ; the Prototype.
For the very long record! Many Christian believers and non-Christian believers miss one of the main points of the historical Jesus, usually called Jesus the Christ. Is it any wonder they could have actually understood the human, historical Jesus with a one dimensional biological consciousness; when Jesus, the human representative of a multi-dimensional consciousness which included the pure, spiritual, deathless Christ Consciousness, touched and transformed those individual one dimensional biological states of human consciousness who lived with him when he walked on planet earth, but who also touched and transformed all individual one dimensional biological states of human consciousness who were and are open to his individual state of the Christ Consciousness, even as he lives on in the afterlife, even over two thousand years later.
Jesus was a human being with skin and bones and blood and a brain. He could think, reason, use logic, possessed emotions, memories, and he also possessed a human mind that could learn to work with his hands, he could read, study, learn a language, speak words to teach his lessons. But he also possessed the spiritual Christ Consciousness, meaning a true spiritual deathless consciousness. That deathless spiritual consciousness was not only his true spiritual selfhood, which he used to overcome the human mind’s delusions of life and death, but he overcame death, by willingly being nailed to a tree or cross or pole, stopped breathing, etc., and rose again to prove that he was almost exactly the same human Jesus that he was before he stopped breathing, etc. By overcoming his own death, he opened the door to higher and deeper levels of understanding regarding a multi-dimensional consciousness, but also how to begin to understand a true spiritual, deathless Christ Consciousness.
As for Jesus, as for all human beings, there are separate qualities that make up each part of each human life and consciousness. Including a spiritual self-hood that is deathless when a new concept of spiritual life is learned before death? Every human being must become conscious of their Christ self-hood, as a true spiritual selfhood, on a totally different level of deathless, spiritual, conscious existence, which does not live in a biological body or even in this cosmic space - time cosmic universe. If that spiritual selfhood was accepted before the biological death, then the problem of a biological death is second to a deathless, eternal, spiritual selfhood. A spiritual selfhood that is at one with the realm of the infinite realm Life termed God!
GOD - LIFE, and the AFTERLIFE:
The realm, or state of existence termed God, is not biological, nor human, nor cosmic. God is already Life, but a self-existing conscious state of self existence, which is consciousness of itself, but it is not consciousness of any birth and death. It is infinitely alive in its own realm, as its own self-existence, and it is conscious only of its own self-existence. It is not conscious of human rape, murder, killing, dying, nor of the afterlife. God is purely spiritual, perfect. God does not see, hear, smell, taste, or touch any form of evil on planet earth. That fact must be learned by the human species. So the human species stops blaming God - Life for all of its human made problems.
On another level, God - Life, ‘sees’ every creature as perfect as a spiritual perfect reflection of its deathless nature. This God - Life does not see birth, nor death, nor space nor time, nor a biological human sinning species. Original sin supposes that there is a God somewhere that created a sinning human species with a human will to chose between right and wrong, good and evil. But what if there is a completely different viewpoint on that issue. What if there is a realm of God - Life that implied the cosmic universe to the point it is now, with a living planet earth, with all sorts of life forms that have developed up to and including the human species, meaning the human brain and consciousness that can possess an afterlife consciousness? If in the big and grand picture, God -the realm of Life, ‘wanted’ the human species to reflect its nature, then the afterlife would have to be part of its plan, sort to speak. In that case, the afterlife would be part of God’s plan too! And the human species should learn more about God - Life in its true nature, it would start to reflect that divine, spiritual nature on earth, with biological bodies, and with a multi-dimensional consciousness. And that is what Jesus the Christ also learned and became before he was nailed to the cross, while he was dangling under the hot sun, and after he rose from the dead. Than he ascended into his new afterlife realm, waiting for the true believers!
"If the belief in death were obliterated, and the understanding obtained that there is no death, this would be the "tree of life," known by its fruits. In the vestibule through which we pass from one dream to another dream, or when we awake from earth’s sleep to the grand verities of Life, the departing may hear the glad welcome of those who have gone before."
