Abstract

The enduring questions of consciousness and the possibility of an afterlife have captivated humanity for millennia. Despite extensive scientific investigation, the existence of an afterlife remains unproven, and the nature of consciousness continues to pose a significant challenge. This work introduces innovative hypotheses grounded in empirical evidence and robust theoretical foundations. Through carefully designed thought experiments, the study delves into the complexities of consciousness and its relationship with the brain, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary approaches encompassing physics, psychology, and philosophy. Boldly contemplating the probability of continuous consciousness after death, the research presents a compelling case that existing evidence strongly supports this notion. Beyond theoretical implications, the study envisions practical outcomes, suggesting that insights into these fundamental mysteries could enhance human well-being and contribute to a more harmonious world. In summary, this article embarks on a quest to shed light on age-old questions about consciousness and the afterlife. By employing fresh methodologies, it aims to provide new perspectives that could reshape our understanding of existence and inspire positive individual and societal advancements.

MY Dearest colleagues, I would like to share a comment on my early research works in my early twenties by one of the most famous, world's leading, and awards-winning visionary science fiction authors Sir Arthur C Clark who was born in Great Britain and lived as a Sri Lankan citizen until his death. Sir Arthur C Clarke, was the former Chancellor, of the University of Moratuwa, And Chancellor of Space University, 31 March 1996. Therefore l HUMBLY wish to PRESENT his comment here AND WAITING FOR YOUR CRITICAL COMMENTS as well... SIR Arthur Clarke has written and sent me in a few days. His recommendation was as below : ( what a great gentleman he was, amazing, even though l have NOT seen him before received this recommendation. I am So, grateful to him) " Mr. Senarath Dayathilake, a young Sri Lankan researcher, is currently engaged in a study of "Evolution of human intelligence towards an optimum the limiting factors a scientific basis for overcoming such limitations". Although I am not in a position to evaluate the scientific merit of this research as it is outside my field, I believe it has great potential for understanding human behavior and intelligence - which still holds many mysteries. Any financial support to Mr Dayathilake would enable him to continue his work, and I would support his application for a research grant.-- Dr. Arthur C Clarke, CBE """ HOWEVER, no single research grant has been received from my country, Sri Lanka. However, those kinds of great words were fuel to my endeavor....THANK YOU ALL!!! Most sincerely, Senarath Dayathilake

MY Dearest colleagues, I would like to share a recent comment on my article by a Sri Lankan Professor who is the most cited research scientist for his work, in the country, the leading physicist Professor Kirthi Tennakone, former Director the Institute of Fundamental Studies, in Kandy, Sri Lanka, and who is among the world top 2% scientist, ( citations over 10009 )as well. Most of his research is based on quantum physics... Therefore l HUMBLY wish to PRESENT his comment here AND WAITING for YOUR CRITICAL COMMENTS as well: Professor Kirthi Tennakone says: "Senarath Dayathilake, I read your paper with great interest. So well written after much thinking and a lot of referencing ( many of which I was completely unaware of). Your ideas about consciousness are thought-provoking. Keep it up and continue. I love it if we are reborn, but I am unable to fathom how it could happen. It is a pleasure to note people of your caliber are in this country. Most people here holding high positions by the title are not interested (not able) devote time to study deep issues."

Firstly, I did not suggest that the specific microparticle (a hypothetical "two-in-one" particle) emits before or after the ejection from a dead brain. Rather, I proposed that it bonds with the "new-vacant" neural system at a precise time, T1, which occurs in the interim period between the live and dead brain states. This timing is crucial to my theoretical model, as indicated by the graph. Secondly, while existing physics theories define energy as the capacity to perform work, manifesting in various forms, they also uphold the principle that no energy or matter can travel faster than the speed of light (approximately 300,000 km/s), with the exception of quantum entanglement communication, which may exceed this limit by up to 10,000 times. Crucially, I did not propose the existence of any infinite-speed phenomena in my work. Instead, I suggested that the hypothetical particles involved may not require any currently known forms of energy, necessitating the development of new physical theories to understand their behavior. Thirdly, my thought experiment posits that consciousness is not merely the result of brain matter or particles, but rather an interdependent phenomenon. I propose that these particles exist in a continuum, moving at infinite speeds across infinite dimensions, simultaneously interacting with live brain areas. Understanding the mystery of consciousness requires a multidisciplinary approach, drawing upon knowledge from psychology, philosophy, mathematics, neuroscience, physics, and logic. I am grateful for your time and consideration, and I look forward to engaging in further constructive dialogue on this important topic.

I welcome more critical comments for healthy scientific dialogue in my article. 1. I wanted to emphasize that I did not suggest the particular microparticle(two in one) emits before or after ejection from a dead brain and simultaneously bonds with the 'new-vacant' neuro system. But precisely time T1 in between ( or time T1 as the graph indicates), live to the dead brain. 2. according to remaining theories on physics, ''energy is the property of matter and radiation which is manifest as a capacity to perform work.' it may exist in potential, chemical, nuclear, electrical, thermal, and kinetic or other forms. However, according to general relativity, no energy or matter could move faster than light speed (nearly 300,000km per second), except quantum entanglement communication, which might be faster than 10,000 times light speed. Therefore nowhere discuss the infinite speed, and here I propose that those particles might not need any presently known energy. That is why we need new physics for future science, as discussed briefly in my paper. 3. my thought experiment supposes consciousness is not the result of brain matter or merely particles but interdependent. The particle is a continuum that moves at infinite speed in infinite dimensions simultaneously as live brain areas. One might not realize the big problem of the mystery of consciousness without knowledge of several disciplines knowledge including psychology, philosophy, maths, neuroscience, physics, and logic. I did my work without any institutional or financial support being Sri Lanka, a wonderful country, P.S. I sacrificed my whole youth selflessly for humankind's well-being to make a better world.

My Dear Colleagues My only attempt to make a happy, healthy, and more peaceful place on earth for all by uncovering the mysteries brain-mind of my best with the best psychological approach supported by many other scientific disciplinaries, including early Buddhist teachings, physics, philosophy, neuroscience, mathematics, logic, especially support with robust scientific methodologies towards policymakers to politicians; poorer to billionaires, youth to elders, ables to differently-abled peoples,......in a highly diversified world. In other words, find the fundamental science of beautiful mind and behaviors. Science of compassion, loving-kindness, sympathetic joy, and equanimity are for your better/best happiness. IF the afterlife occurs, find out how to get ready or evolve our brain mind for better birth in the next life. However, I found it is a matter of intelligence evolution of personal, social, and global( and probably universal ). Finally, therefore, we have had to scan the mind virus by healthy mind virus of people support with your efficient communication, teachings( might be a better or the best way is - eightfold methodology), and training(might be a better or the best way is scientific meditation in broad sense -Buddhist psychotherapy: because more than 33500 peer review research - e.g. in PubMed central-on medication suggest us for such conclusion, at the moment): therefore intelligent decisions of all in the diversified world and great leadership( not merely politicians). I kindly invite you all to participate together- finding your/our great intellectual potential as one family, which might make beautiful minds in heathier, peaceful, generous, world: less / no hate, delusions, greed, bribery, corruption, violence, crime, war.... or in other words find the intelligence evolution towards the truly happier world- as my only wish. Thank you! Your CRITICAL comments are MOST welcome! FOR AN ACADEMIC DIALOG. correspondence Author; Senarath Dayathilake klsenarathdayathilake@yahoo.com or mobiles; +94712244455, or +94777173971

Dear Colleagues, My sincere and steadfast commitment is to create a happier, healthier, and more peaceful world for all. To achieve this, I have embarked on a journey to uncover the profound mysteries of the brain-mind through a multidisciplinary scientific approach. Drawing upon insights from diverse fields - including early Buddhist teachings, physics, philosophy, neuroscience, mathematics, and logic - I aim to discover the fundamental science underlying a beautiful mind and compassionate behaviors. The science of cultivating qualities like compassion, loving-kindness, sympathetic joy, and equanimity holds the key to unlocking greater happiness, not just in this life but potentially in future lives as well. However, I believe this to be a matter of the evolution of personal, social, and global intelligence. It is through this lens that I propose a two-pronged strategy to address the challenges we face. Firstly, we must work to "scan" and understand the "mind virus" - those negative mental patterns and conditioning that give rise to hate, delusions, greed, bribery, corruption, violence, and conflict. Secondly, we must proactively inoculate the collective consciousness with the "healthy mind virus" - supporting people through efficient communication, innovative teachings (potentially drawing upon an eightfold methodological approach), and the systematic practice of scientific meditation (in the broad, Buddhist psychotherapy sense). This dual approach can guide us towards more informed, intelligent, and compassionate decision-making while fostering great leadership capable of navigating our highly diversified world. I kindly invite you all to join me in this transformative journey, tapping into our collective intellectual potential as one global family. Together, we can cultivate beautiful minds and work towards a truly happier, more harmonious, and peaceful world. Your critical comments and academic dialogue are most welcome, as we embark on this important mission. Sincerely, Senarath Dayathilake klsenarathdayathilake@yahoo.com +94712244455, +94777173971
