Life after Death

The body  is like a cloak. For the enlightened, dying is like letting the cloak fall to the floor. For the unenlightened, it is like ripping off a cloak that is sewn on."

Right now you are a bundle of information in mind and body. You have unique memories; your cells have undergone chemical changes shared by no one else in the world. When you die, none of this information will vanish, because it can't. There is nowhere for plus and minus, positive and negative to go since the field contains nothing but information. Therefore their only alternative is to recombine.

If I die and the information contained in my brain survives, does that mean that I will survive? Survival means remaining intact at some level--mind, personality, memory, or soul--that is "me." To a materialistic, when the brain dies, so does the person. Fortunately, over the past two decades some ingenious experiments have raised hope that the mind extends outside the brain, and that the qualities that you and I cherish, such as love and truth, may be embedded permanently in the field.
