Despite extensive evidence that human consciousness is primary and it 
pre-exists the universe, mainstream scientists still believe that nothing exists that is not material. They are certain that your mind, your personality, all that you are is generated entirely by your brain, so when you die your mind will blink out like a light.
All of this is nonsense, of course. For your material brain to generate your mind is flat-out impossible. But because materialism is a “fundamental dogma” of modern physics, it still permeates all of mainstream science. And it leads researchers to propose ever more lunatic projects. I’ll give you three that have lately come across my desk, and then we’ll talk about some reasons why we can be certain that our brains do not generate our minds.
1) Mind Uploading Will Replace God. http://motherboard.vice.com/read/mind-uploading-will-replace-god The notion that soon we will be digitally uploading the minds that are generated by our meat-brains so we can survive our physical deaths is so deeply nutty that even after having read this article three times I still cannot figure out the sense of it. “Being able to upload our entire minds into a computer is probably just 25-35 years off given Moore’s Law and the current trajectory of technology growth and innovation” the author confidently informs us. How is this possible, when scientists are sure that your mind is just an artifact of your meat-brain? The author says only, “mind uploading is generally considered possible by experts. After all, humans are just material machines, striving to create other machines that mirror ourselves and desires. Ah yes. We’ll translate all the information in your brain into bits and make a copy of you online. But what about your individual awareness? Your emotions? Your sense of being who you are? No mention of how we’re going to transfer all of that. And once this miracle of uploading our minds is achieved? “Expect a much more utopian society for whatever social structures end up existing in virtual reality and cyberspace. But also expect the real world to radically improve.” Utopia!
2) Thoughts Being Transmitted by Brain-to-Brain Link. In the strictly material world of mainstream science, it is very big news that a readout from someone’s brain can now be interpreted by someone else. “Using noninvasive means, researchers made brain recordings of a person in India thinking the words “hola” and “ciao,” and then decoded and emailed the messages to France, where a machine converted the words into brain stimulation in another person, who perceived the signals as flashes of light. From the sequence of flashes, the French recipient was able to successfully interpret the greetings.” What a great mess of trouble just to say “hello”!
3) We Are About to Experience Everlasting Youthfulness. The idea here is that we can keep on discovering ever more sophisticated ways to turn back the clock on our bodies, over and over again, always keeping just ahead of encroaching old age and therefore never reaching our expiration dates. Aubrey de Grey, who is an expert in this emerging field of trying to outrun the clock, says, “If we ask the question: ‘Has the person been born who will be able to escape the ill health of old age indefinitely?’ Then I would say the chances of that are very high. Probably about 80 per cent.”
All of this is an utter waste of time, money, and wonderful intentions! Here is why:
– There is no need to upload your mind in order to preserve it. Your mind is eternal by its very nature. It is impossible for it ever to die.
– Mind-to-mind communication without the need for mechanical “flashes of light” is already being practiced by those who understand that human minds are inextricable parts of one eternal Mind. And they are saying a lot more than just “hello.”
– Delaying the ills of old age is a laudable goal, but it cannot stave off death. Nor 
should it. Our post-death home is infinitely more wonderful than this brief, unpleasant afternoon in school!
How can we know for certain that our minds are not generated by our brains? Here are three clues that seem persuasive to me:
1) Our minds can exist apart from our bodies. Even one documented case of someone’s body and mind being in two different locations at the same time would be sufficient to establish this principle, and by now we have hundreds of such cases. The science is settled, if only mainstream scientists were not so afraid to examine the evidence!
2) The dead live happily in a glorious earth-like dimension very close to our own. Here is something else that has been so thoroughly documented that it is only physicists’ clinging to materialism as a fundamental dogma that keeps them from learning what we long have known. The minds of the dead have survived just fine! This seems to me to be conclusive proof that their meat-brains could not possibly have generated their minds.
3) The human genome does not code for the human mind. C. Elegans is an almost microscopic worm of fewer than a thousand cells. Its genome contains about 21,000 genes, which fact gives us a useful benchmark. And to the astonishment of researchers, the human genome turns out to contain only 19,000 genes, nearly all of which predate even primates. So the human genome does not code for
the human mind. How then is it even possible for our minds to be generated by our brains?
The goals of all three of the scientific projects outlined above have long since been reached. Our minds are eternal, we cannot die, and since we all are part of eternal mind we can readily communicate at the level of our minds. Well, what do you know? The future is here. It doesn’t need technology. And it is beyond-belief wonderful!

the fact that human minds are eternal. One of its most important revelations is the final answer to that age-old question: What is the purpose of human life? Here the dead agree with most major religions. We are here to learn to love perfectly and learn to forgive completely. Helping us learn to better love and forgive seems to be the reason why the universe exists.
tragic. And the challenge always is, “How could anyone forgive that?” 
turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.” (MT 5:39-41)
with George Noory. Beginning while the show was still on air, I received a wonderful flood of emails, so many that it took me two days and nights to answer them all. Most were questions or comments, but a few were heartbreaking stories. One of these came from Dawn. Hers was one of the first emails I opened, and it was so full of pain that it brought tears to my eyes.
that child. I know how you feel. I don’t like this either! But in the context of our eternal lives, the brief separation from a beloved child that can start us on a lifetime of spiritual growth is not the tragedy that it would be if this brief lifetime were all there was. Dawn isn’t past her grief. You never really get over the loss of a child. But knowledge is power! Knowing that every child who dies is happy, safe, and growing up in a beautiful reality surrounded by love helps most bereaved parents immeasurably.
much I appreciate your friendship. If we have recently met on the wonderful George Noory’s 
strengthen our spiritual muscles. Things like poverty, cancer, abusive spouses, the deaths of children, and other calamities are pretty obvious spiritual lessons, but believe it or not, they aren’t the big ones. No, the evidence is strong that the toughest life lessons of all are possession of either wealth or power. Put them together, and you have a one-two punch at which even advanced beings quail. 
hardly matters, but two members of the trio were often in the news. The third dropped out of sight. Soon it became known that he was giving most of his gains away. Eventually some reporter cornered him on the street and said something like, “Dude, what are you thinkin’?” This beautiful young man retorted, “If I kept more than what my family needs, how could I ever look God in the face?” He had chosen a tough lesson, but he was Acing it.
exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” (MT 23:11-12) And “I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” (MK 10:15) These pretty words are not just words! The afterlife evidence confirms that they are statements of fact about the spiritual physics that governs all our lives.
distressing question. She said that people of her race are too often thwarted in life, and she asked me whether racial differences are “a joke from God.” She especially wanted to know whether in the afterlife everyone would be equal. Her question is heartbreaking, but its answer is thrilling.
early, but the shock of my gender-switch was so great that I still can distinctly recall that moment.
If there is one question I am asked more frequently than any other it is whether our companion animals are waiting for us in the afterlife levels. Some people lead with a personal challenge: “If my dogs can’t be there, I’m not going!” I understand how they feel. A heaven without our animal friends would not be a heaven at all, so I’m delighted to report to you that every animal we ever have loved awaits us in a beautiful eternal reality where love never ends.
minutes, I knew. We had moved twice during his lifetime, and Beau was thanking me that he had been kept safe during both of the moves of his life and gently cared for until he died. After that dream, I have decided that I won’t ride or drive a horse again until my friend and I are reunited and I can have bugs in my teeth forevermore.
groupie reading popular-science versions of what physicists are up to now feels mind-shriveling. I will give you some quick examples from the recent press:
won’t interact with photons of light. They tell us that everything that we think of as real makes up only 4-5% of the universe, while dark matter makes up 23-27%. (Apparently estimates vary.) So in an effort to study a mass which is five times the size of the known universe, physicists are looking for wimps thousands of feet beneath the surface of the earth. This time we’re reading 
minds are eternal. We are learning a great many interesting things about each of the very issues that are puzzling and confounding physicists today. And looking at what we have to show them would at least give physicists the welcome chance to go back to sometimes studying things that can be seen with the naked eye.
real – perhaps most of what is real – is not material. Yet it interacts with and profoundly influences the material reality that physicists are trying without much success to understand. So might it be useful to the advancement of physics for universities to abandon their century-old dogma of adamant atheistic materialism?
battle was forgiving themselves. Self-forgiveness is hard for many of us, perhaps because those raised in Christianity have been steeped in the pain of our inherent sinfulness. The afterlife evidence has some pretty important news for us on that score! But before we talk about how we can best deal with the notion of original sin, let’s first understand why learning self-forgiveness is so important.
