To say that we can never exist again after death is to say that the conditions that made us in the first place are no longer in existence and will never be in existence. We have to determine what we are to determine what we want to exist in the future. What particular aspects of me do I have to have to exist in the future? For others it is your body and your behavior. For you, it is for you to experience something. Experiencing something is a matter of degree.

Some say that yes you can experience something again after death but the probability is so small that it will never happen under any finite amount of time. So the question is what are the conditions that have to be met for you to experience something after death? What are the conditions that made you in the first place? Although many people might simply say that god made you in the first place and that that is all that needs to be known, considering the facts this is very wishful thinking. It is much more productive to take a scientific view point since thee is no real evidence of gods but much evidence for the existence of matter people and the universe.

What appears to have created each person are physical conditions. The problem is that we want to create for ourselves our non physical consciousness. What is the connection between the body and the consciousness that we want in existence? Through science we have a good idea now what that connection is. The functioning of the brain produces consciousness. As the structure changes the functioning changes. Different structures and functioning produce different consciousness. Identical structure and functioning produces identical behavior. Behavior gives us incite into the consciousness produced from an external perspective so if a person says he is in pain he probably is.

The conditions that brought to this state of functioning are numerous but are they specific to one situation and can never be repeated?

The believed incompatibility of the fact that the conditions that made you in the first place can be duplicated at the same time so there would be two of you and the case that some one else is some one else and a unique different consciousness. How to resolve these two issues? It is not hard to say that there are two identical consciousness at the same time. What is hard for many to accept is the idea that you are both of these two people when you think of your self as singular. How can that other person be me when I can not control his behavior sense what he is sensing experiencing what he is experiencing etc.?

You are more than the actual awaremoment (consciousness) that you are experiencing at this moment. Philosophers have tried to make this not true by setting up conditions (axioms) that make it not true. Such as awaremoments have to be tied together by a body or be continuous through space and time. Just because it looks like a consciousness (awaremoment awarepath) is produced by a body does not mean it has to be produced by a body and not some other way (isoawarepaducer etc.). Just because a consciousness looks like it is continuous through space and time does not mean that it is continuous through space and time.
