THE ORIGIN OF LIFE AFTER DEATH

Amateurs are inclined to believe that the notion of life
after death is perhaps a euphemistic metaphor or even a
joke. One scientist told me that in his opinion the notion
of an afterlife is the "biggest oxymoron in history".
Fact of the matter is that an exhaustive survey of the
historical record shows that there is an entirely
legitimate, even scientifically logical, rationale for the
conjecture of life after death.

I present here my conclusion as to where the historical
origin of the belief in life after death comes from. This
is as follows:

1. The existence of Heaven (the invisible world) was
discovered many thousands of years ago by direct observation
and experience and was certainly well known by the time of
the Pyramids. Trances, visions, hallucinations and common
schizophrenic visual phenomena made this a universally known
phenomenon, specially among the elite. Today most of
Psychology and most of the fine arts are based upon this
fact . Today of course we don't need Psychology to verify
the existence of the "invisible world". Simple and direct
laboratory measurement of the Picture Fusion Frequency (PFF)
clearly proves that as much as one third of the motion
visible to an adult is invisible to a child. This is caused
by simple age-related brain growth. Consequently, since
modern Auxology shows that the average adult is about 20%
short of full growth; 20% of reality is actually invisible
to the average adult person. Religion refers to this
"invisible world", which can now be precisely measured, as
"Heaven".

2. Meanwhile the universal prevalence of the nocturnal
dream was also well known to the ancients.

3. It was also recognized that knowlege of the existence of
this invisible world highly influences the form and content
of dreams. Dreams are clearly a symbolic representation of
this invisible world. This was recognized thousands of
years before Sigmund Freud identified it as a quasi
scientific theory of the relation of the "unconscious mind"
(aka the invisible world) as the causitive agent in
nocturnal dream formation.

4. Also it was early on recognized that there is a
relationship between sleep and death, namely that they are
the two most commonly known instances of unconsciousness.
Thanatos and Hypnos were twin brothers in Greek mythology
for instance.

5. So, over historical times the belief slowly emerged that
one actually went into this invisible world after death same
as we go into a nocturnal dream when we fall asleep. It was
logically conjectured that we go into a postmortem dream
state i.e. that one "went to heaven" when one died. This was
a universal belief for 3,000 years in the ancient Egyptian
religion for instance where the Pyramid texts are the
surviving historical record of it. This finally became
formalized during the Christian era and was written into the
New testament by St. Paul in I Corinthians chapter 15, vs.
35-55.

That, in a nut shell, is "where the theory of life after
death comes from".

St. Paul describes it in First Corinthians:

"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump...the dead shall be raised"
( I Corinthians 15:52)

"... it is raised a spiritual body."
(I Corinthians 15:44)

Interestingly the modern discovery of a
microtubule/cytoskeleton optical signaling system in the
brain now makes this conjecture quite scientifically
plausible.

Sir Roger Penrose and Prof. Stuart Hammeroff have advanced
a widely known theory that microtubules within the neurons
of the brain consists of an enormous and fast optical
computer containing an additional 15 orders of magnitude of
computer power that was virtually unknown 20 years ago.
Research in this area is expanding rapidly and involves
thousands of scientists and many publications yearly.
I wrote Stuart Hammeroff not long ago and pointed out to
him that the cytoskeleton operates at optical frequencies
1-billion times faster than neuronal firing frequency and
that therefore the brain's cytoskeleton could easily
download a year-long postmortem dream which would flood the
entire brain in a fraction of a second immediately after
death. Thus although the bedside of observers would see the
person expire in a fraction of a second, the dearly departed
could subjectively live on for a year in cyber-paradise
(Heaven) despite his millisecond second demise.

Prof. Stuart Hammeroff sent an e-mail message back to me
the next day saying that he thought such a phenomenon was
"possible", and I remind you that comes from the world's
leading expert in microtubule function in the human brain!

So clearly, such a mechanism would replicate EXACTLY St.
Paul's historical description of the phenomenon of life
after death.

It appears to me that there has been an entirely new
scientific light put on the question of life after death.

Any serious scientific comment is welcomed.
