It's clear that the mind is a product of the brain, and not of a soul. How do you cope with the fact that there's no afterlife?

I am reassured by the fact that you don't have a clue.

I work in emergency medicine. There's definitely an afterlife and we hear about it from cardiac patients ALL THE TIME. The mind is only contingently connected with the brain, but is not a product of it. Descartes was right.

How do you deal with it, op?
Because I believe in it. Because I've already felt it. I drowned as a child. Kek.

And yet you trust the chemicals in your brain to tell you that they are chemicals. I won't even ask if if you are gonna fight. I'd prefer if you perished like a dog.

the soul is a mixture of mind and heart the mind can find the correct decision but the heart decides what you want to do

>there's no afterlife?
Experience is information
Only experience is able to be experienced
Death is the lack of sense, the lack of information and is thus not an experience.

Thats because there is a flood of DMT that enters your brain when you gay dummy. They are hallucinating not experiencing an afterlife. You know what my 81 year old grandpa saw when he was dying? He was getting a footjob from a three headed Medusa in the 7th circle of hell. You can see anything bro

You best start believing you have a soul, or else (((someone))) will take it from you without you realizing it.

sounds schitzo I know, but it is something like that. Think a flashlight forgetting its the bulb and not the shadow on a wall.

You always hear about afterlife from patients during life. Let me know when you hear from someone from the actual afterlife.

it's not clear though.
you are taking a leap of faith just like the religious.

Hallucinations are only possible given brain activity. These patients have none and this is confirmed by EEG. This is well known in the area and has been proven so many times it's only people who know nothing about the phenomenon who respond with this.

People completely change their personality after a brain injury, sometimes dont even recognize their own family and in many cases go absolutely mental and have to spend their life in hospital because they do fucking weird and violent shit. There literally is no such thing as soul. Your consciousness is your brain, which is no different than any other of your organs.

I think there are many things I don't understand, and that religions don't seem to definitively know either. Could the universe be a program running on some kind of virtual hardware? Does it even matter? Is there a metaphysical greater reality that's hidden from us? I don't know.
The idea that my experiences are known by some other, who may or may not be the creator doesn't seem completely far-fetched. Is the world ultimately strictly deterministic? I think it might be, and that my fate is written in stone, even though I'm ignorant of it. I'm not an atheist. In fact, I'm a theist, but I don't pretend to know what I do not know.
I do know that many religious "rules" embody the learned wisdom of countless generations of people before me, and secular arguments can be made to justify things like sexual modesty and moderation for things like drugs and alcohol.
The book of Ecclesiastes denies there is an afterlife, and it embodies the views that the Hebrew people had during the age of wisdom. You can also see that the beliefs of these people evolved over time, and if you draw a continuity between Judaism and Christianity, you can see the views changed significantly. Christianity took in many pagan, European beliefs that were never a part of Judaism. However wisdom in religions isn't limited to American Protestantism, and certainly not even Christianity of the West in general. There are many fine concepts in Hinduism, Shinto, and even the Bahai. There were some Christian heresies like Gnosticism that also make sense.
My advice to you, OP, is to take some good psychedelic drugs and meditate on it. Don't overdo it, but I think once or twice is good for your soul. You shouldn't be so sure about the unknown.

You tell me, you're the one saying it exists.
>Hallucinations are only possible given brain activity. These patients have none and this is confirmed by EEG.
People reporting their "afterlife" experiences have no idea if any hallucinations they might have had happened before, during or after their brain activity stopped.

Eternal existence actually seems like torture. I think at some point I would like my consciousness made into oblivion. A sleep where I never wake up.

Yes, and checked.

There's always an 'after life'. Who do you think you were before you were here? Death? "Non-existence"?
You don't think the multiverse recycles?
