Hi everyone,
first of all I really appreciate this sub as it has given me hope to believe in an afterlife… However, right now I am having a severe existential crisis and i am super scared there are fully brain-based explanations for all of this… Please let me know what evidence you think there is that shows that the brain-based explanations can’t explain an afterlife/ spirituality/ NDEs (especially the fact that the brain continues to show activity patterns for minutes after assumed death and the release of chemicals prior to death) please also feel free to guide me to older posts discussing this and please be honest if you think brain based explanations are actually plausible and can explain this . I appreciate all kind of evidence I am just so scared right now that there are brain based explanations and there is no afterlife… Also if you have any tips how I can gain personal reassurance (that goes beyond just watching YouTube videos, please let me know!!) thank you so much everyone in advance!!
