Thanks Boot, very interesting and surprising.
Sometimes memories merge into one another after a while… ![]()
I would imagine that it’s the sum of all the parts that give a body it’s consciousness, and should just one of the major parts fail it’s only a matter of time before consciousness leaves the body.
I would also imagine, that the brain can maintain consciousness for quite some time say, if the heart fails, and reviving the person some minutes later, the brain will still have been accepting an input from some of the other senses while the rest of the body was physically dead.
Like a candle flame gradually flickering out and being relighted from a breath of wind…
I don’t believe consciousness will persist beyond a short period after death.
Here’s a bit of an eerie one. Many years ago I was working in an old building in Neal Street Covent Garden, just a stones throw from the underground station. Something happened, not to me but to somebody else who was working after office hours. The penny didn’t drop at the time but when it did some years later it sent a shiver down my spine. I’ll write the story up during the weekend, turning in now! ![]()
