I have been asked, when the brain dies and all synaptic functions stop how can the mind survive death. so i guess ill have to answer this. All matter is made from energy, at the quantum level matter/Atoms are mirrored by energy, so there exists a quantum mind, itself is formed in structures identical to the human brain, in fact every creature on this earth has a quantum mirror, this exists in sync with the body, even the earth on a whole and all the planets and stars have quantum mirrors. so now accept this the human atomic brain dies, but the quantum brain is left intact, consciousness transfers itself fully to the quantum brain and at this moment you realize the true nature of your being. this happens for everything that exists in this and other universes, in quantum mechanics this is a distinct possibility. this cycle is repeated with many lifetimes, and we choose to live in this state of being so we can learn the concept of compassion, as without life and the trials that life brings we cannot learn this. as imagine in your quantum state you do not suffer pain or want, so how would you know right from wrong if you do not experience it. even Einstein understood this, and many other great thinkers, and theoretical physicists. don't feel because you cant explain it that is doesn't exist, or if you cannot see it that it is not there, another point from this i would add is that god is all quantum states existing as one, when we go from this realm to the next we can choose to be one with all minds and return to singular being or in fact stay on our singular level, this oneness with all minds is the nature of god.
