What Does Consciousness Happen When We Die?

A factual definition of consciousness; Consciousness is “2: the state of being characterized by sensation, emotion, volition, and thought: 3: the totality of conscious states of an individual.”(Pp. 1). One is able to physically feel, understand emotion, is a willing individual, and are

Consciousness is what is used to define the non-physical mind. It encompasses thoughts, feelings and emotions among other attributes. Consciousness creates a picture of the mind being vague, Vast, mysterious and something that cannot be seen by the naked eye but is present nevertheless. You can’t slice open someone’s brain and see what they are feeling, or dreaming or thinking. You can only know that by observation likes someone crying, smiling, laughing or showing some form of physical reaction or by someone simply telling you how they are feeling. Consciousness is part of the mind-body problem that we read about with Descartes where he believes that we have a thinking mind and a physical body. Both are present but two separate parts.

One thing is absolutely in life, death. No matter what goes on in life, one will eventually take their last breath and die. After a person dies many, religions discuss what happens to the soul, but what about the body? The question becomes what happens to the body after it decomposes? Science and research have advanced into the 21st century and made it possible to figure out step by step what happens to the body.

The fascination with consciousness dates back to the time of Plato and Descartes. Since those times the term “consciousness” has spurned controversy in many scientific fields, including the fields of biology, psychology, and neuroscience. However, with the recent advancements in brain imaging technologies, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG), human consciousness has shifted from being a subjective, abstract idea into being a observable scientific phenomenon. As neuroimaging capabilities progress, the public interest in consciousness also grows.

My own theory of consciousness is a state of awareness of self. It has been said that this awareness stems from arousal. Consciousness, to me, is entirely internal. We experience the external world, but only through our senses. Dehaene and Naccache (2001) explain that neuroscience is beginning to investigate and understand the "neural underpinnings of consciousness." Thus, consciousness is something that we experience via our own bodies. However, there is an implied separation between experience and consciousness. Animals and plants also have mechanisms for interacting with the world, but they do not appear to have the same neural underpinnings that them to interpret the world with the same awareness that humans have. We, however, not only experience the external world, but we are aware of that experience.

Consciousness refers to an individual’s self-awareness, both internally and external stimulus which include your unique thoughts, memories, feelings, sensations and environment. Your consciousness can constantly change from one conscious to another. The constant change in consciousness can also be referred to as “stream of conscious”. Awareness- its mechanism and function has

Consciousness is the state or condition of being conscious. A sense of one's personal or collective identity, especially the complex of attitudes, beliefs, and sensitivities held by or considered characteristic of an individual or a group. There are several different stages of consciousness. Waking consciousness, altered states of consciousness and sleep.

Philosophers and psychologists could never quite understand the meaning of consciousness. Thy thought it was time to try something different to get the meaning of consciousness. Henry

One of the most memorable experiences I have ever had is my time in a morgue with an embalmer. I have now visited the embalmer twice to witness first hand the embalming process. Currently I have seen six bodies being embalmed including my first one being an autopsied case. This was not only to prove to myself that I could stomach the sights and smells, but to see if anatomy was right for me. It is.

Consciousness is your awakened state of mind in which you are cognizant of and are able to distinguish between realities while also being preemptive to one’s thoughts, emotions, and feelings through the establishment of the fundamental aspect of student-object relationships in which one is not only aware and mindful of his surroundings, but oneself as well at any given moment as the present renders sentiments of familiarity, presumably rectifying preconceived notions that consciousness is merely an illusion and is rather more so a universal force and a collective body of existence and self-realization.

     Lesley J. Rogers describes consciousness as, “related to awareness, intelligence, and complex cognition, as well as language. Consciousness may be manifested in self-awareness, awareness of others, intentional behavior, including intentional communication, deception of others, and in the

Therefore if we associate consciousness with our senses then it could be that consciousness is not the result of an immaterial substance. But it is also hard to determine if we have one unified consciousness, or when the brains are split, 2 different consciousnesses, or even more than 2! There is no way to measure that, and is still a mystery, we can’t thoroughly explain what actually determines the true consciousness of ourselves, if we believe there is more than one consciousness within our brains over ruling the other or letting that specific consciousness win the decision. If we associate consciousness with senses, then we also associate it with the decisions we make, if vanilla scented candles makes us feel calm, then we light them, if a specific song makes us happy, then we play it, if I jump off a high ledge and land wrong, it’ll hurt so perhaps I wouldn’t do that or learn how to land correctly. Or it could be that a person might do the complete opposite of those things, maybe they don’t want to feel calm, happy or might want to break their legs. We don’t know why consciousness helps us to decide what decisions we choose for ourselves or even why it matters in a scientific point of

For starters consciousness is a mystical network. It has several different extraordinary characters. One David Chalmers says it has a “unified and a differentiated character”, that he feels defines consciousness and makes it simple. But is it really that simplistic?? I mean consciousness is something everyone is aware of at every waking moment of life until death. Never has it been something

Consciousness allows a person to recognize their existence, and subsequently, to form their essence. The
