I don't think that life after death is a transition from conscious to unconscious. They have to be conscious otherwise how my communication with them could make sense logically if they are not conscious.
So the dead according to you are conscious because you have contact with them, and must therefore be conscious not unconscious?
As I stated, our communication is coherent, exactly like you and me, so I expect that they are conscious.

Even though previously you stated: ('' I cannot prove the life after death. We have to wait and see. '') and yet you already know they are conscious. So why the need for proof, if you already know?
Well, people say that I have schizophrenia, so my brain is malfunctioning one part deceiving me about what I experience.

Yes, I visited several psychiatrists. They gave me all sorts of drugs, electric shock, ... but none of these helped.
Why did you visit a psychiatrist?
I have a high level of depression, I was suicidal, and not all part of my experience was good (I was tortured sometimes). So I thought that maybe a doctor could help me. Now I am doing good, constantly in a state of peace, but I still have spiritual experiences.

Was it because you maybe were in doubt as to whether you really were talking with dead people?
No, it was not because of my doubt but because not my experiences were pleasant.

And what do you mean by help you? What did you need help for? if you already know that dead people are conscious and you can contact them?

Ok, fair enough.

I already mentioned why I need the help.
Ok, fair enough.
You are what you are, and you'll see what you see, nothing can refute that. Your personal brain is a unique never to be repeated organism.

That's true actually, but only in the here and now in this immediate conscious knowing.
I have to say so what?
If there is some sort of crazy consciousness after my death I cannot see why I should let that change the way I live my life.
The idea seems to crazy. But like people that think the earth is flat, I'd rather not do the equivalent of shying away from air travel just to protect the silliness of the belief.

The afterlife has no bearing on anything.
You know nothing of after death.
Just as you knew nothing of before birth.
There is no knowledge of before or after now, there is only now, this immediate eternal now, where every conceivable experience is possible to happen...including awareness of brain states, no matter how they appear to knowing.

You know nothing.
Nothing knows.
"Nothing knows" is meaningless.
And no, I do know something.
