Nobody really knows for certain. When your physical body dies your brain and all of your other internal organs cease functioning and as far as we can tell this means the part of your brain that generates "you" that is your conscious thoughts, personality etc, ceases to exist.

However, the problem with this is that nobody can verify it. We don't actually know if we have souls or not, I don't think we do, and frankly most of the claims to the contrary are highly unconvincing to me at best, but this is not the same thing as proof of non-existence.

This triune God (or Trinity) began to allude to this aspect of His nature right in Genesis 1:26–27. There we read that “God said, ‘Let us make man in our image’ . . . God created man in His image.” Here God is a plural noun, said is in the third-person singular verb form, and we see both the plural pronoun our and the singular His referring to the same thing (God’s image). This is not horribly confused grammar. Rather, we are being taught, in a limited way, that God is a plurality in unity. We can’t say from this verse that He is a trinity, but God progressively reveals more about Himself in later Scriptures to bring us to that conclusion.

In Isaiah 48:12–16 we find the speaker in the passage describing himself as the Creator and yet saying that “the Lord God and His Spirit have sent Me.” This is further hinting at the doctrine of the trinity, which becomes very clear in the New Testament. There are many other Old Testament Scriptures that hint at the same idea.

In Matthew 28:18–20 Jesus command His disciples to baptize His followers in the name (singular) of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. John’s Gospel tells us that “the Word” is God who became man in Jesus Christ (John 1:1–3, 14). Jesus was fully man and fully God. Many other verses combine together to teach that God is triune.

As a start on a thorough discussion on this topic, the chart in pic related is an accumulation of many of the passages that show the deity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

As far we know consiousness is a process in the cerebral hemispheres in all animal life, we have no idea if plants are actually consious but they can actually communicate with eachother and can think as well, fungus are even more alien than that as there is a species of fungus that can navigate a maze and HAS NO FUCKING BRAIN.

Perhaps our intelligence is based on this meatsack because of our animal physiology? If fungus and brains are consious then it means consiousness can exist outside of a neural system which would change our understanding of everything.

The thing I find interesting about that kind of thought process is after you wake up from being unconscious/passed out/knocked out/etc., there's no perception of time passing for you. Essentially, it's instantaneous. And I think that's what scares us so much when it comes to death; there is no instantaneous "waking up" that occurs afterwards (at least none that we can measure or confirm).

But what that also means is, if there ever IS a way to reverse death (or if there is some kind of "waking up"), it will happen immediately in your perspective. So if you're worried about what happens after you die, you'll find out immediately.

I've glimpsed the other side, and after a lot of reflection this is what I'm convinced of.

Your awareness is an abstraction, an emergent condition which arises from the organic (undirected) arrangement of information in space. We've managed to gain some level of self-awareness (distinct from sentience) and thus an ability to direct the informational content and those relations between the content which underlie that very ability. We are in a sense reflexively self-modeling constructs of a language. Think hofstadter's "strange loops". The recursive self processing is what produces consciousness. When the physical agent which bred a particular loop is destroyed (death), the loop itself still exists by virtue of its recursive nature. Because, unlike a mathematical recursive function, awareness is not discretized in time. So when the function is aborted, from the loops perspective (due to it's self-contained reflexive self-processing), the abort procedure is constantly receding as the loop continually is modeled within itself at an increasing rate. Think Zeno's motion paradox. From an outside perspective we can measure a moment where it stops. But from within, there is an infinite number of "loops" before the abort command executes.

So, that in mind, I think when you die, your consciousness detaches from the body (which acts as kind of a viscous medium pulling the loops through time relative to physical reality) and then becomes spatio-temporally fixed with respect to physical reality. In other words, you are perfectly conscious and aware as you were before death, but you have no way to interact with or manipulate physical reality, or change your situation in any way. A fixed state where nothing happens and all you can do is eternally review your thoughts and memories.

When a recursive algorithm runs infinitely and you cut the power to the system the algorithm stops. Only as an abstract concept does the recursive process which has a beginning does not end. Our consciousness is not merely an abstraction.
