Deepak Cophra.May 13,’24 writes: “Science has stripped away any reassurances about life after death, and most people in the modern world accept the scientific model. In doing so it logically follows that when the physical body dies, in all likelihood the immaterial aspects of being human — mind, soul, memory, personality, thoughts, feelings, etc. — are extinguished at the same time. What this set of beliefs doesn’t offer is proof, in the form of facts, data, information, and so on.”
This last sentence is not true. The assertion that the mind, soul, memory, personality, thoughts, and feelings persist beyond the death of the brain lacks empirical support. Science, through observation, has consistently shown that these faculties cease to exist when the brain ceases to function (unless one subscribes to the unproven notion of a metaphysical realm). You needn't be an expert researcher to reach this conclusion. I witnessed my mother's decade-long struggle with Alzheimer's disease, observing firsthand how she gradually lost these faculties as her brain deteriorated, leaving none of them remaining upon her passing. Thus, the claims of individuals like Deepak Chopra, renowned for peddling pseudoscientific remedies, hold no merit in the face of such evidence.
Deepak Chopra; Hindi: born October 22, 1946, is an Indian-American author and alternative medicine advocate. A prominent figure in the New Age movement, his books and videos have made him one of the best-known and wealthiest figures in alternative medicine. His discussions of quantum healing have been characterized as technobabble ”incoherent babbling strewn with scientific terms" derided by those proficient in physics. (Wikipedia)
