Lets hypothetically say that there is no life after death. Our conscience, which allows us to think, is controlled by the brain, but the brain ceases all functions after death. Without a conscience, you cannot think or perceive the world in any shape or form.
So, the question is, how do we see the world after we die? |

If that were true, we wouldn't perceive the earth at all. We'd stop existing like machines. If that were true, I'd do anything to live another day. |

| What's the exercise here? We wouldn't see anything at all. Out thoughts would be nonexistent, because we'd be dead. We'd just decompose into the earth or whatever, and be recycled into whatever was around us. We'd become bacteria and dust and crap. |

@livin
The only way we see the world is through our perspective. What do we do when that is gone? Float around in nothingness? |

I wonder if it's just darkness, or light, or heaven, or paradise...
I'm curious about people who HAVE been "clinically dead."
I think clinically dead people won't remember anything.

@phoniex
The exercise here is for you, and it's to accept that you won't be much after you die. If you consider space nothingness, then you're already floating around in nothingness. I have no idea what else you might mean by nothingness. You don't do anything when you're gone, because you're gone. Do you see the food in your kitchen? It's just there. If not cared for, then after a really long time, it'll erode.
But, if you're not convinced, then I guess you can just watch a corpse until it finally completely disintegrates.
And seeing the world through our perspective has nothing to do with this, since you described the mind as belonging to the brain, and the brain as destructible. If you had asked us to try to imagine that minds were not connected to bodies, that'd be a different story. |

| So, if death is truly the end, does that mean that, in our perspective, our life is forever? |
