Consciousness after death - why are people remembering nothing?

[Mulberry]

@Kansik

it seems that the vast majority of people who have an NDE don’t remember anything

I don’t think NDE experiences have anything to do with life after death or spirituality generally. Some can, but for most they see what they expect or what already exists in their minds to experience. I notice they will say things like "I didn’t believe in hell/heaven until I saw it - but yet they labeled what they saw within this fixed cultural understanding, which the knew about in advance.

I’ve had an NDE and I got the blackness thing.

My estimation of those is your mind is still in the lower astral, which is mostly personal and not shared, but can be invaded by parasites and lesser astral entities that can and do scare you, feed on you, and generally play with your mind. It’s easier to see them when the body is unconscious and many people in an NDE are lucid dreaming for the first time with no training on how to control the experience.

what is happening when people die and they remember nothing yet at the same time we have a very active spiritual world and reincarnation system in place

It seems to me that humans get a “mind wipe” when they incarnate as babies. The ones who might remember are the ones who “walk in” to an adult body but they are very rare, and it’s debatable about whether they can be believed - probably best taken in a case by case basis…

Various mechanisms are blamed for this but we don’t honestly know. From gnostic “archons are out to get us” to “prison planet” to Buddhist cycles of karma - I don’t entirely like any of these as complete explanations myself.

@Kansik

The only thing I can think of is that the soul itself has an entirely separate consciousness from the brain. That is literally the body dies, the brain dies, yet the soul lives on yet at the same time does not “share” The memories and experiences with the body

I have a similar view in my own homegrown way. I see humans as what I call an “aggregate being” - a higher being “riding” or possessing an animal so that a human is a symbiote (well we’re symbiotes anyway with our gut bacteria and mitochondria but we’re also symbiote with this primate.)

@Mulberry

In my musings I consider that the brain is basically an interface for the higher beings to integrate with and use the body. Perhaps the two lower brains - reptilian and limbic system - are the ones more for the animal, while the higher brain and heart are for the spiritual being incarnate into the animal.

This is party a hypothesis to address the conflict in the “we’re all immortal incarnate angels” vs “we die and there’s nothing” vs “we strive for immortality”. I think with this model they cam all be right, as the higher self is immortal, the animal is not. If the animal is a new spirit born on Earth, and not developed enough to be immortal, then it’s smart and able to be guided by the higher being to gain immortality too. It’s the one that doesn’t want to die, as the higher self can’t die it will just transition to something else.

I also mentioned it here which pretty much explains why I’m not in the “rejoin with source” school of thought, and RHPers abandoning and being cruel to the animals they incarnate into is pretty a heinous thing to do.
