VAST multitudes seeking truth fail to find because they're easily led astray by worldly logic, sensuality, vain esoterism or specious mysticisms. I know I was.
I'm an ex neo-vedantic (hindu roots) new ager. I used to be into so much "cosmic/spiritual" stuff: trance channelings, ancient wisdom, gnosticism, psychedelic drugs, hindu gurus and buddhist variants. I was illuminated by the kundalini (serpent) spirit then 8 years ago I got rightly enlightened by the Holy Spirit – which proceeded to show me what a fool I was before….. Spirit led to the REAL Yahusha/Jesus Christ and everything changed – Paradigm Shifted …..
This is being BORN AGAIN (John 3) and it's an ongoing surprise to me 😁
Turns out spirituality is a soul serious business taken way too lightly by far too many …..
the end-times are clearly dead ahead if not already here: a time of tribulation and Antichrist is near.
It escapes the notice of our self-absorbed, glamour-saturated world that we're in a spiritual WAR for souls. The immensity of ignorance is astonishing: the dark powers are BEDAZZLING the minds of the masses (Ephesians 6:12). We've inherited ancient spiritual subversion: the Earth is fallen ….. the holistic fields of nature are degraded. Death is all too familiar. Natural life hunts, kills and feeds on itself. Humanity is a spiritually fallen race highly prone to deceit and delusion.
FRANKLY, we need a SAVIOUR and by Jesus Christ we have a GREAT ONE
As a new ager I couldn't believe but in the Light of Spirit Jesus really is the Way, the truth and the Life just like He said: no one comes to GOD except through Jesus, there's no other way (Matthew 7:13-14). Being a neo-vedantist I wasn't convinced (I was damn sure I knew better) yet, turns out the Bible is Spirit breathed, written by men inspired by the Holy Spirit. Jesus is vividly portrayed and endorsed in the new testament, in fact he's apparent in the old testament too (Luke 24:27 & 44) and by His LIGHT we're allowed to see that and know Him. Any previously perceived discrepancies or contradictions are ironed out and the supernatural narrative flows most beautifully……
……. the Bible is the Revelation of Jesus Christ (Isaiah 2:2-4; 9:6-7 & 45:23, Daniel 7:13-14, Matthew 28:18, Mark 14:61-62, Revelation 1:7-8 & 18, Rev 19:11-21)
The Construct of Creation is quite simple. Consciousness is a Unified Field: the "Empty" Space or No-thing /Vacuum that surrounds materiality. We are just encapsulations of portions of this Vacuum (Consciousness). There is only One undivided field of Consciousness ( empty space/ vacuum) but we have forgotten this and have identified with our encapsulations of flesh bodies. Empty Space or No-thing is not created and cannot be destroyed: it is indestructible. Hence we as Consciousness ( empty space) cannot die. We are Eternal because the Vacuum which is us, is eternal. Quantum Physics has shown that 99.99999% of the Atoms we are made up of, is Empty Space. So our bodies encapsulate us ,the empty space, which cannot be destroyed.Our bodies are perishable but not the empty space that it embodies.Hence we are eternal.
Until it’s scientifically proven this is all wishful thinking . Hard facts.
When you die the “nothing” they are talking about isn’t black , you won’t exist to experience black. It’s just like before you ever existed or were born.
Near death experiences aren’t proof of anything.
When you die, you die, and that is the end for you. Just don't assume it like religion, which is 50% is cow dung and another 50% is bullshit.
I’m unfamiliar with Thomas Clark, but if he’s saying we should anticipate being thrown into nothingness after death, he’s making an error in reasoning. There’s no reason to assume any experience after death. Regarding Alex "reborn," he does not have continuity, and therefore is not the same person. Also, why do you say he feels like he’s always existed?
I think humans have the power of intellect to advance humanity’s civilization beyond the cosmos and discover the creator of spirit or consciousness and more. That super soul may be trying to help earthbornes in the right direction (that is mastering how the force as spirit within us simulates our body, to ultimately take our intelligence to the top level). And I feel like to that extent we can manifest into other dimensions or possibly in other life forms to answer more questions and arrive to a grand purpose. Maybe a state of happiness that arrives at the conclusion of being unified with all the deceased from all the planets in perfect continuity. Scary to think about because how would you fathom the spirit without the body of dead on earth our lost ones. I’m not sure if consciousness has a shape but a body we can recognize and their voice but then how would they or our ancestry recognize us. If I heard my grandmas voice in another life form how could I be assured she remembers me and consciousness doesn’t get lost or reset in terms of did they reborn and did their new identity change from life after death environment. Reborn again does that assume you come into were ever you go after death as an embryo and in a new world if theirs no life after death mean those lost ones could change in size and tone.Would their be a way to house something into our consciousness or spirit a way to keep us together forever in change of height or if our voice changes for better or worse. And then what about the idea of morphing could also happen with murderers. I’d think of Saton and God being friends again on a whole new level. There would have to be explanations that sit well for the crazy people to understand consciousness or our equilibrium or spirit as a whole entity or element.

The video it titled "Why Consciousness is Immortal | The Philosophical Proof of Life After Death"
The description provided for the content of the video says "This documentary explores a philosophical argument that suggests consciousness is immortal…."
I am a spiritual person I can accept your point of view
Fear… is what draws those immortality illusions. There is no eternity, no immortality… death for each of us means death of the Universe since Universe exists only because you observe it. With death everything ends as you know it. All your knowledge your memories will disappear forever and Other Universe will continue to live out of your star dust
I had a standing memory from a young age, 3ish, being in the bathroom, finding my awareness-of-me in front of my body, then neing aware of me in the body, then beside me, then inside the body, then in front, back and forth, somehow I was doing this, and getting another sensation of awareness at being aware I was doing this, and then another awreness sensation that I was aware of my being aware that I was aware, and this kept building, then suddenly it stopped and I realized this multiplying of awareness stopped because I was getting weirded out and afraid. This cycle of what I call lsyers of building awareness has visted me from time to time over my life. I got used to it popping in like an old friend, and learned to think to myself, "there it is again", let it do it's layer-up thing up to a few layers and then gone. That first memory was my first notice of it. It happened more frequently over time. It still happens about a once or twice a week.
Universal Consciousness / the holy spirit?
Its like “the cloud” in ict; the central database. Up- and downloding partial concsiousness to and from all connected stand-alone -personal-computers (: you). So, when you crash, there will always be a complete back-up of your personal files…. I guess….
That is not first said by Thomas Clark, this is a very old Hindu Philosophy, called Advaita(non-dual) first explained by Adi Shankaracharya.
Have you read the article in Scientific America about the existence of a universal consciousness that we are all part of? Maybe people in the NDE videos I’ve seen talk about experiencing it. I’ve been looking for 0:04 0:04 scientific proof of the “realm” that our consciousness goes 0:04 to after 0:04 and also if there is a way to access it while still in our physical bodies. The answers to these questions would give a believable proof to the question of where our “energy” goes to once our physical body ceases to exist.
"We are just the universe trying to understand itself" you had me once you said this.
All matter is energy, and energy cannot be destroyed, it can only transform.
Say we do continue to exist, where did we start? If at birth or similar, then we have a monotonically increasing number of beings without end. If some sort of fixed-pool recycling is going on, it's still essentially self-death if there is no continuity of consciousness across the boundary.
Consciousness is a energy or energy e = mc² energy never be destroy
"If the truth can be told, it is not the true Tao."
In "Theravada" Buddhism in Sri Lanka, all enlightened "Baghavath Buddhas" appear on earth , after eons of life times of purification of the mind, as a fulfilling universal qualification to perfecting qualities of "conscious energies" described in Sri Lankan Buddhist pali canon / texts "marghadi " Buddhas' spoken sound language written Pali Tripitaka" as "paramitha kamma" (perfectible universal deeds). The Baghvath Buddha has described beings existing in 31 realms. All creations in this universe are "energies" with influence of the six ( 6 ) aggregates "elements" 1. sound (ears ), 2. taste ( tongue ), 3, smell (nose ) 4. seeing (eyes ). 5. touch (Body ), 6, feelings(heart ), under "causality" cause & effect . The Buddha has described how universal energy called "kamma" manifests in human form through human faculties of seeing, hearing, smelling, taste, touch & mind (past experiences) called aggregates, amalgamating with external world experiences of feelings through the Human "Heart Organ " as electrical waves signals to develop a "seed" to become "conscious energy", which continues to the brain as a "thought" and this continuation of experience is stored in the "subconscious" mind in the human brain called "mano" (pali ) (mind) in Buddhism. This" perception " action is called "thought". Thought becomes a conscious energy, called "kamma/karma = consciousness + phenomenon in Buddhism.
This life is but one very small step on a much longer journey. I'm not at all religious, but spiritual. My early Ayahuasca journeys showed me without any doubt that this is all based in consciousness, not matter. Think of yourself not as a drop in the ocean, but the ocean in a drop…
I truly believe that our soul and consciousness are immortal. We all are part of the universal power which creates life, cosmos or whatever it is : WORLD.
Consciousness, it sounds a lot like the conception of God. I noticed you were careful not to invoke any language that could suggest deities. The logical next question is, what is consciousness and where does it come from?
I know that it might sound silly but let's say that this essay has no critiques and is true. The universe is bound to loose all its stars and sink into the " degenerative" era. For better or for worse, life will become impossible and so does conscious experience unless you want some life to appear in a universe filled with void and black holes. So your idea that consciousness never ceases to exist is kinda wrong for the reason i told you
I miss u grandfather ❤
How interesting is this video!
1. What people want to know is if, after all, auto perception remains after death.
Answer: Does your auto perception 11 years, 2 months, 16 days, 2 hours, 27 minutes and 15 seconds ago remains? Your auto perception is, often said, the only very truth, Reality itself, but it belongs to NOW; not stored in the past, neither in the future, which are mere illusions.
2. Is auto perception obvious? No. Yo can feel what you were, personal bonds, etc… without being you as you are now reading this, your own personal perception will be enhanced.
3. Will I lose my strong feelings over people I loved or hated? Yes. They will be transformed to flat line. Pure wisdom, no emotion.
I could go on this way for hours, but it is nonsense, pure arbitrariness. Everything can be. Whatever you imagine is possible. Whatever you ever think you learnt or whatever you think you know, represents nothing as knowledge is fractal and infinite.
Been looking for other channels to listen to while working. Glad i found this one, great video.
Time is relative to your body, no body, no time. If there is no time in the ( ultimate reality ) everything is happening now. Everything is a manifestation of God, all are one. God is the all. 5 mao dmt , anyone?
All stated in this video is quite obvious and quite thrilling at the same time. Give it some time and and unmortal monkey will, by sheer chance, type all the answers to all questions, also a Bolztmann brain that is you will emerge, or an entity that after eons will be you will show up. But how can be you without noticing changes in its appearance? I recognize myself every morning upon awakening. What if a become something else that, by chance, gathers all what I am? What if that happens many times and I meet with myself? Conciousness must be hovering over this philosopher approach. It has to be something more fundamental. Or not. I think there must be existing and no existing. By definition we only perceive the first one.
Philosophy has nothing to do with death other than guessing about it. When you die there is no consciousness. There is no energy after your body decays away. The only truth we can embrace is that every atom that you were made of will still be in existence for a very long time. Not forever, but longer than we can imagine. We can also see as truth that all of the atoms that we comprised of have been there since the early history of the universe. You only have consciousness while alive (and not under anaesthesia) and no amount of discussion or opinion will change it.
