How Your Consciousness Migrates Between Bodies
This text develops a philosophical theory of the soul's immortality, describing death as a transitional process in which pure consciousness directly transfers into a newly fertilized egg. It draws a strict distinction betweenthe physical body, which serves as a repository for memories and personality, and a disembodied perceptual consciousness that, at death, leaves behind its individual characteristics to begin a new elsewhere. The author employs mathematical considerations of shrinking time intervals to argue that the boundary between life and death is fluid, with life's characteristics merely shifting their position in space. A central motif is the comparison between death and the state of sleep, questioning how human will and identity behave in moments of stillness or dreaming. Ultimately, the text aimsto resolve the enigma of existence by positing an eternal rebirth, in which consciousness persists while the biological shell and personal history cease to exist.
Excerpt from the manuscript
2021… Story of a Robot – Part 9 17. Chapter: Signs of Life and Death Suppose that fifty percent of eight billion humans on Earth are, at the moment a human being dies, of reproductive age. That is four billion people. And suppose these are exactly half women and half men, each pair capable of conceiving one child. Then, in the moment shortly after a human being dies, there could be two billion fertilized egg cells on Earth. Now, if the “pure” consciousness that extracts itself from the person of the deceased and detaches from his will, separating from the objects it was conscious of and leaving them behind in the dead body (let this be the part of consciousness that lives forever, or exists forever), migrates into a new body, into which of the two billion egg cells does it then migrate?
Here one can assume that it is precisely the egg cell that was the first to be fertilized by a sperm cell after the human being’s death.
