your thoughts...
My 'Soul, Essence, Spirit' is a manifestation of brain's ability to reason. Its the same ability that allows me to perceive the 'Past, Present & Future'. It is this same manifestation that gives me my sense of 'Self'.
Think of it as a computer.
You have the CPU (Brain)
Sensors (your 'Senses')
and
Actuators (your Muscles)
Your Nerves are the wiring that connect your sensors to your brain and your brain to your actuators.
Within the CPU there is RAM (memory) that runs the various programs.
There is a processor (neurons) that determines which programs to run when and to what severity.
When you die, the brain no longer operates. It may fire for a short time after the fuel flow stops but when all the fuel is used up, it is just dead tissue.
The synapse is a chemical energy that is fired between axons and dendrites. Life can be summarized as the 'Energy' of those synapse.
Energy is subject to the laws of thermodynamics
The first law of thermodynamics thinks big: it deals with the total amount of energy in the universe, and in particular, it states that this total amount does not change. Put another way, the First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only change form or be transferred from one object to another.
I am a part of the Universe.
I exist within, not apart from it.
The energy that is me is part of the total energy in the Universe.
When I die. The energy that makes up me, will return to the Universe.
Like pouring a glass of water into an ocean.
The energy that is me will reemerge somewhere else in the Universe but it will not be me, just the energy that is me.
Part of me might be in a rock, another part of me as part of a star another part of me as a gas cloud, a quark, a black hole and so on.
The energy that is me, right now, is condensed within this body. When it gets released, it disperses into the Universe.
Using this idea, You can liken it to living forever and becoming one with God when you die. "God" being the total energy of the Universe. Since energy cannot be created or destroyed, parts of your energy exist as long as the Universe exists. By our standards, that means forever.
