On the Afterlife & Love;
I compiled this post to give comfort and hope to the Bereavement Forum where so many are in despair following the loss of their loved ones. I shared it here because some may find it of interest too;
Quantum physics 'proves' that there IS an afterlife, claims scientist Professor Robert Lanza who says that the theory of biocentrism teaches that death as we know it is an illusion. He believes 'our consciousness' creates the universe, and not the other way round. Once we accept that space and time are 'tools of our minds', death can't exist in 'any real sense' either.
As humans, we believe in death because we've been taught we die, or more specifically our consciousness associates life with bodies and we know that bodies die. Lanza, instead, said that when we die our life becomes a 'perennial flower that returns to bloom in the multiverse.' By looking at the universe from a biocentric's point of view, this also means space and time don't behave in the hard and fast ways our consciousness tell us it does. Once this theory about space and time being mental constructs is accepted, it means death and the idea of immortality exist in a world without spatial or linear boundaries. Under biocentrism a spirit could influence events in nature and metaphors such as 'we see her in the sunshine and in the roses' might not actually be a metaphor at all but literally true...

For the non physicists among us, I'd take that to mean that after the body expires although informed by the life lived on Earth, the persons spirit exists independently of the body in higher/non physical states of being.
This idea is not too far afield from a real theory called Quantum Consciousness, proffered by a wide range of people, from physicist Roger Penrose to physician Deepak Chopra. Some versions hold that our mind is not strictly the product of our brain and that consciousness exists separately from material substance, so the death of your physical body is not the end of your conscious existence.
Quantum Entanglement theory is another clue in this puzzle indirectly, as it indicates the complexities of known universal properties. Quantum Entanglement can happen when two subatomic particles become linked and can communicate instantaneously with each other even though separated across astrologically long distances. Einstein called this property Spooky Action at a Distance. This shows that whatever our physical world and hard sciences may show us, there are more things in heaven and Earth, than are dreamt of in your philosophy....
It is one of cosmology’s more perplexing problems: that up to 90% of the ordinary matter in the Universe appears to be missing - because they cant find or see it. Whilst there is now some conjecture that the missing aspects are caught up in star dust trailing between galaxies - I think that may be missing the point and that there is infinitely more going on than we can manage to conceive of. As we who live in matter bound bodies on Earth have noticed, 'nature' abhors a vacuum - there is no empty space which is not teeming with microbes or electric charges, life or 'existence' in some form or some beyond form. Perhaps you need to take a leap of faith to accept this point - go ahead, the world is not flat after all.
Two lovely books by a mathematician called Flatland and Sphereland are really helpful in contextualising some idea of dimensions beyond our own realms. Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by the English schoolmaster/mathemetician Edwin Abbott Abbott.
The first half of the story goes through the practicalities of existing within a two-dimensional universe.
On New Year's Eve the 'Square' ( a 'person' who exists as a square form) dreams about a visit to a one-dimensional world (Lineland) inhabited by "lustrous points". These points are unable to see the Square as anything other than a set of points on a line. Thus, the Square attempts to convince the realm's monarch of a second dimension; but is unable to do so. In the end, the monarch of Lineland tries to kill A Square rather than tolerate his nonsense any further.
Following this vision, he is himself visited by a three-dimensional sphere.
These two books are fabulous at showing how consciousness or awareness within a constrained set of dimensions may not be able to perceive beyond their confines but this does not mean that the other dimensions are non existent.
Our emotions and inner feelings - not physical sensations such as being ticklish or cold, but spiritual or higher feelings/states of being such as inner happiness or love - are not physically based or triggered. They are non physical, not something you can physically touch, but you can definitely experience and see their manifestation in yourself and others. They are in fact be the very aspects that make a life worth living.
All these and many more examples inform my perception that there is more to us than mere physical bodies with ensuing minds derived from them.
Just what the spirit-energy of us comprises though, how it is 'formed' and exists outside of our material realm, while the religious teachers, physicists and mathematicians may have some idea, I do not. It is beyond my cognition, if not to some extent my intuitive perception or apprehension. That dosent matter in the least to me, I also do not understand that actual physics of how the sun continues to combust at unimaginable rates for what will be ungraspable lengths of time, nor how a plant cell actually photosynthesises sunlight into energy and mud into beautiful flowers. Scientific descriptions are not the same thing as experience and it is an acceptance of all this ineffable wonder that we live in, with and by that informs my perception.
I do feel love in my heart and this 'feeling' or more correctly this awareness, extends beyond my body and mind to encompass all of my experience of existing, it allows me to exist for now in a body but in due course without one, in a loving universe. These explanations work to pacify my rationalising materialist/physical bound mind and even if I was wrong they provide me with a more uplifted experience of love transcending life than I would have otherwise.
Uncertainty is also both a great doorway and an inner location from which to experience a sense of connection with spirit beyond the physical. While certitude will close many doors of perception, the cloud of unknowingness will leave them open. In the chosen absence of a dogmatic faith to guide me through the gateway into a state of uncertain spiritual awareness, I find absolute, unconditional and unreserved love is the bridge and the key.
These views help me and they may help you too.
