What happens to you when you die?

I've heard about this theory before; but so far, I don't think there's any evidence to support it.

I presume it will be a lot like it was before I was born.

   The development of computer memory has raised interesting questions about the way human memory is structured and organized.  For example are there file trees in human memory?  What is the chemical structure of it, if it is chemical?  How are distant memories selected?  Will there ever be equipment that can read the memory even better than the person whose memories they are?  Will there be equipment that can write to a person's memory in such a way as to make the person believe it is his own memory.  Science fiction has explored these questions.  Real science has nothing so far.

It's too bad that the feeble minded who answer this question are under the assumption they are intelligent. They haven't a clue, because they live in the confines of socially and academically accepted propaganda and delusion.

First, it's important to understand what "you" are. "You" are the meter reader, not the meter. Until one accepts this frightening thought of total dependence, one can't deal with reality.

If you alter your nervous system or brain, say with lost cells, or the loss of a finger, you have to decide if that is still the same "you". Now, the poster known as "Our Glorious Leader" had the only possible theory for materialism. His (or her) contention was that it was a different entity, not "you", but since you inherited the memory, you thought it was the same "you".

That's the only possible contention for believing in the materialism of the "meter reader".

So, unless there is a higher power which can destroy the meter reader, the meter reader, upon death, is free of bondage. Evidence of this is in the billions of meter readers who have died, and yet none are known to have returned, save the Christ.

Some would surely slip into cracks and return, or try to return, if there was no bondage. Obviously, if there is a choice after death, the choice to return is an insane one into the realm of Satan. If there is no choice after death, then the momentum of the meter reader would logically take it to the course of momentum. 

Now, the many control freaks of the world, and if you're honest, you know we're almost all born as control freaks, and hopefully some of us learn not to be, indicate that Jesus was indeed correct in his assessment that is most abundant in his teachings, about controlling oneself instead of trying to control others. The momentum of controlling others will just put the meter reader into a new Hell, or perhaps the same old one. 

Yes. And when you die, the chemical energy of your body is consumed by bacteria and such, becoming chemical energy in their bodies. The heat energy in your body dissipates into the surroundings.

But the fact that your energy survives your death in no way indicates that you do. It appears that you aren't so much the energy of your body as you are the intricate pattern of that energy and the way it changes over time - much as a computer program is not the hardware of the machine but the current flowing through the circuits, taking different paths according to the rules of the machine and the program.

If you turn that computer off and then dismantle it, the energy that was the program does not cease to exist - it dissipates into the environment as heat. But the program itself is lost forever.

So it is, apparently, with brains. Our energy is never lost - but we are.

As far as I'm concerned, there are 3 possibilities:

1. Nothingness after death
2. Your consciousness transfers over to a parallel universe (quantum immortality, which is extremely frightening)
3. You are tortured eternally by the malign entity which designed your reality

If there was a designer to this reality, we know it must have had either amoral or malign intentions.

But how can one be conscious of unconsciousness?

Then perhaps you had better look at your life now, and change it while you still can.
