Death - Heaven or Hell?

When a pawn dies it goes back int the suite. When a person dies we bury, cremate etc. But is that it? Is their no place consciousness remains?

Did my research and Jesus Christ was one of the first who claim to go and come back. This is what I found:
- Historically there is more proof that he existed than Caesar, the biggest world leader of his days, did
- Historic evidence backs his death
- He predicted he would do come back
- He convinced his friends who were religiously biased to the contrary that he came back
- He convinced his political enemies who where against all his views of the time that he came backl
- He convinces people today that he did; whether you call them visions or hallucinations of people religiously biased contrary to this view

So what's all this about? I think it's something worth really researching and not brushing ofi because of emotional baises or explaining away with unrelated scientific concepts.

What is consciousness?
Is there a soul behind consciousness?
Do I have a soul?
Does the soul die at death? Does consciousness exist after death?
Are Heaven and Hell concepts or places?

I ask questions along these lines because of these are the topics Jesus talks about. It is said; there is not smoke without fire.

The biggest conman of all time.

What is consciousness?
Consciousness how you intend, is a sign which signifies the perception of complex processes occurring within the brain. Aristotle, who predates Jesus, already observed that function and structure are inextricably intertwined. If you want to understand what consciousness is, you'll need to study neuroanatomy to understand the cellular structure of the brain; neurochemistry to understand the chemical composition; neurophysiology to understand its bioelectric properties; and neuropsychology to understand the neural substrates of cognition. Noone can do this for you.

Is there a soul behind consciousness?
Soul typically represents what one means by subvocalisation, internal visualisation, and generally all internal perceptions. So the soul is merely the part of consciousness that you can actually directly perceive.

Do I have a soul?
Yes. But if you were born such that large parts of your brain cannot form (Anencephaly), as some unfortunate people are, you would not have a 'soul'. Similarly, if you were in an incident that caused severe brain damage, you may be considered to have lost your 'soul' as defined above.

Does the soul die at death? Does consciousness exist after death?
Yes, all perception ceases. No consciousness cannot remain after death, and as observed above, consciousness may not remain even without death.

Are Heaven and Hell concepts or places?
Heaven and Hell are roughly defined notions whose actual defining properties will differ depending on who's defining them. Things such as culture, time, and the personality of the orator can widely alter the definition of these places.

The vertigo of consciousness on the brink of the abyss of its annihilation calls for desperate Jesuses.

@Larenoth did you actually research or just conclude based on your biases or emotions?

@Rapid167 so you are saying if we revive the brain right after death it we should not find consciousness?

Has experimentation proven this?

Why have we observed cases of brain dead comatose patients reviving with full consciousness if consciousness is tired to the structure (brain) and the structure (brain) is dead (brain dead)?

Definition: Brain death is the total and irreversible loss of all brain function and the circumstance under which the donation of vital organs most commonly takes place.

@Rapid167 which definition for the English word soul are you basing off? This may confuse the discussion. Please lookup the mean so we understand each other.

@MightyCreator The third definition.

Onto your articles, which I'm skeptical that you read, given that they don't support your position.

"In addition to the above-mentioned dramatic, spontaneous full recovery from “brain death,” there are also many well-documented cases of “brain-death” survivors. Though pronounced dead according to the neurological standard, these patients continued to live, albeit in the severe disabling state of chronic “brain death.” The following is not an unlikely scenario: a severely brain-injured patient was declared “brain-dead”; the family, however, declined organ donation; the patient did not die, that is, he or she did not have cardiac arrest, contrary to the insistent claim that imminent asystole necessarily follows “brain death.”9 After a few weeks, once the initial hemodynamic instability subsides, gastrointestinal motility returns along with spinal hyperreflexia, and the patient continues to live on for weeks and months without aggressive medical intervention, requiring only a mechanical ventilator, tube feeding, and basic nursing care"

Where they say spontaneous full recovery, if you check the main article they reference in that case you find:

" Many physicians, nurses, and others made a series of mistakes that led to this fiasco, beginning with the failure to adequately address what had brought her to the hospital (a drug overdose and its effects). Then error on error landed her in the operating room for the removal of her organs. These compounded errors, at least five or six, included insufficient testing to ensure that the drugs had cleared her system, too few brain scans, lack of attention and response to a nurse’s suggestion that the woman was still alive, and a failure to examine other signs, such as curled toes and respirator resistance. "

Back to the main article we see:

"a collection of 175 “brain-dead patients, [...] One of the children, the longest survivor, lived on for twenty years after having been declared “brain-dead” at age four from acute meningitis"

"Even though these patients have lost some of the emergent holistic functions, namely consciousness and spontaneous breathing, they still retain a whole host of other important holistic/integrative properties including diverse homeostatic activities, elimination of bodily wastes, wound healing, inflammatory and immunological responses against infections, physical growth and maturation, and the capacity for successful gestation, among others."

They have lost consciousness, not giving support to your claim "we [have] observed cases of brain dead comatose patients reviving with full consciousness"

Now to respond to the remainder of your post:

"So you're saying if we revive the brain right after death it we should not find consciousness?"
"if consciousness is tired to the structure (brain) and the structure (brain)"
I'm not sure what revive the brain means here. But what might help is to consider cases of people who have been lobotomized. These people have had documented structural alterations to their brain, and severe changes in personality and general intelligence.

"Has experimentation proven this?" (In regard to consciousness being lost after death and subsequent resurrection)
One would need a non-human entity to kill each human, and then revive them and check if they have consciousness, until no humans are left, to prove such a claim. What we can do instead is give evidence to support the position.

Now since I am not familiar with the teachings of the bible, I'm not sure what position the bible actually takes on our soul after death. Could you tell me? A cursory search says that the bible teaches that the soul disappears upon death too:

www.bibleinfo.com/en/questions/what-does-bible-say-about-death

Although this isn't the case after his second coming, which I am aware the bible states somewhere would occur within the lifetime of the people he was speaking to - which is approximately 2 millennia ago, and hence Jesus lied? But I don't have time tonight to investigate further, I have to sleep.
