To Sorry, folks, move on, nothing to see here. As soon as you read the phrase "utmost happiness", you should have realised you were reading about Dr Miracle's Snake Oil. To know what you know and what you do not know, that is true knowledge. --Confucius From someone who in this case does n...

Pages 78 to 84 of book discusses "how the NEC theory relates to what philosophy currently teaches about death, immortality, and the afterlife." Why is it that so often a consciousness in advance of its other mammalian brethren is thereby assumed to have an afterlife? Could it be that it's...

What makes this a "scientific theory" rather than just wishful thinking like most people's hopes for the afterlife? Quoting from my book's Prologue, A Natural Afterlife Discovered: The Newfound, Psychological Reality That Awaits Us at Death : "It [the natural afterlife] is “psycholog...

There's no problem. You will find the solution in my three journal articles on my theory or in my book. I'm sorry, but I don't have the time to engage people about my theory who've not first read up on it.

seeds seems to have ignored the phrase "dream-like experience" in the given quotation as seeds gives only examples of horrifying real awake experiences. The last moment of such experiences can be overridden before death by dream-like experiences, i.e., near-death experiences (NDEs) and dr...

The stated subject of this topic is a section header in my recently published book A Natural Afterlife Discovered: The Newfound, Psychological Reality That Awaits Us at Death . The book explains and thoroughly discusses the Theory of a Natural Eternal Consciousness (NEC) , establishing it as a scien...

My article "The Theory of a Natural Eternal Consciousness: The Psychological Basis for a Natural Afterlife" was published May 2020 in the Journal of Mind and Behavior . The article claims a non-supernatural, i.e., scientifically supported, timeless, eternal consciousness, which can be a na...

Age is obviously trying to continue the dialog with me that I shut down. I did so because Age 's comments continued to show his/her ignorance regarding the NEC and Age 's refusal to read the referenced article in order to educate him/her self. The article clearly points out that the existence of th...

So what substrate are you proposing this last experience is running on given the substrate it was running on is now non-functional? It is not running on any substrate. The term "running" implies a time span (i.e., it takes time to run), but the NEC is timeless. The NEC is a "snapshot...

I could have asked the exact same question to you . Why do you seem to insist on me reading your many worded referenced article before you are willing to just answer my three little simple questions? ... Pity you could not have taken up the challenge in composition of explaining your hypothesis in ...

If you will not answer these three questions until I read something else, then so be it. 1. Why is it so important to you that it is true? 2. If it is at all true, then who cares? 3.What would it matter or affect if it was at all true? By the way your hypothesises 2 makes perfect sense, and is actu...

and you give no indication that you have even read the referenced article. My explanations have not seemed to have helped so far, and so I feel further dialog on my part will not be worth our time and effort. Well you must not have much faith in your own belief here. If you FULLy understood what yo...

In respond to Age: As I stated in my original post, "Hypothesis 2 has hitherto been overlooked, likely because of the orthodoxies of [Hypothesis] 1 ... and the difficulty for the living to view death strictly from the dying person's frame of reference, i.e., only that which is perceived by the ...

But just as the last moment of consciousness does not remain when or after one falls asleep or passes out with general anesthesia so to would the last moment of consciousness not remain after, what you call, "death". Sure it remains! It is always there when you wake up, though as the refe...

Hypotheses 2 is an intriguing idea, of which i had not invisioned before, but, hypotheses 2 can also only be verified after death, which would also be impossible, correct? Section 4.2 in the referenced article discusses Testability, i.e., the verification and falsification, of the theory of a natur...
