The afterlife

I am certain there is some form of afterlife. Based on near death experiences, my knowledge of consciousness, my exploration of philosophy - that there is no such thing as nothingness - and my encounters with otherworldly forces. Also, my exploration of psychedelics, especially dmt. Dmt is released in the brain at death, and as we know that dmt is the substamce of dreaming, and dreams can create whole universes of experience in a time that spans, in our waking reality, a mere 15 minutes.

Thinking about that, the dmt that is released during death could easily create an experience that we simply never return from.

We’ve been discussing the nonlinearity of time, which really factors into this.
I was reading books about quantum physics from an early age, and one thing really blew my mind.
In the conception of time, nothing ever truly begins or ends. We have a narrative experience of moving through our lives, but that is only for the evolutionary purpose of creating a coherent experience of our lives.
The true nature of time is more akin to say, a dvd. You can play a dvd from any point in the narrative. You can begin it straight in the middle of the movie and the characters will continue as if to them, the events were progressing with no gaps. The characters in the movie don’t notice, obviously.

We could wake up every day convinced that our memories of the past prove that we existed the day before. We’d have no way of telling that we didn’t merely begin existing that very day we awoke, merely containing the memories we’d existed before, even if we hadn’t.

The point being, that whatever you were doing at any point in time, in the true nature of physics, you are STILL doing it and ALWAYS will be. Just because we move towards the future in out conception of reality, the past in the block of spacetime never stops existing.
Death is a time experience, it is dependant upon where you are in that block of spacetime that is lit up by your consciousness.
But who is to say our current era and our current point in spacetime is the only existent experience?
People in the past may still be existing there, while we are existing here, and our experiences would never overlap.

Although we can’t be sure of the afterlife, the one thing we can be certain of and what I am certain of is the nature of consciousness. Consciousness can’t disappear because it is the true basis of reality and the universe.
Also, consciousness can have different forms in different dimensions of existence.

I have toyed with the idea that people get the afterlife they believe in. Maybe the afterlife is different for everyone.

But I am certain that for myself, I will become a creator in a different dimension of existence. This very last suspicion of mine is the only one that is purely subjective and impossible to prove. Because it has come to me in dreams and it is also based on what “God” as such has told me.
But the nature of my dreams has been creating my dream reality and exploring it.
And DMT is the nature of both dreams and death. So I can say with some confidence I will return there.

I feel like there is more to say here, about how our eyes are portals our consciousness can use to leave our bodies, but I’ll leave it at that, and reference out of body experiences too...
If astral projection is real - and I have experienced it myself - then there is no way our consciousness is attached to our bodies.
The brains are only signal carriers, not the source of the signal itself.
