So picture the astonishment of British and Belgian scientists as they scanned her brain using a kind of MRI that detects blood flow to active parts of the brain.
When they recited sentences, the parts involved in language lit up. Try to comprehend what it is like to be that woman. Placing a New Light on Death. As the individual ages, one will from time to time take into consideration if there is an afterlife, or if we are redistributed into something else on the planet, or very simply, nothing more happens.
Well there are many thoughts that are processed to take a concept and find a reality of it, no matter the form or distinction. This article is not meant to explain whether there is an afterlife or to promote any form of religious theory, but to explain the nature of our energies and particles that form our physical bodies and where they disperse to. In religions, some speak of an afterlife in which the human soul leaves the body to leave for a destined place, and in others one would reincarnate in other forms until the enegy becomes eventual nirvana.
Humans over the centuries have contemplated numerous theories to accept or reject the idea of an afterlife or oneness with nature. It could travel to numerous functions, as I will try to incorporate as follows:
