Every person now alive will eventually die. It is the hope, or belief of many that their souls, or at least some part of their consciousness or personality will survive in some sort of postmortem paradise. Yet some religions such as Islam exclude followers of other religions from entering their heaven, or paradise.

Islam, just as all other major world religions has been a force for unity and good for the many, many millions of followers. Nonetheless, the basic premise that the good will be rewarded, and the evil punished in some afterlife has been identical in all religions for more than 5,000 years.

The book, "Anesthesia & the Soul" discusses this point in some detail, as well as raising the question of whether people actually have an invisible and immaterial something like the religious concept of a soul as proposed by all religions ...

The 21 gram soul

gerald posted Jul 8 '20 at 7:32 am

The heading of the original article by Duncan MacDougall published during 1907, describing a 21 gram loss of weight at the moment of death which he attributed to the departure of the human soul at the moment of death.

For a detailed discussion of this bizarre experiment read Chapter 15 in the book "Anesthesia & the Soul" (see: )

Why write the book "Anesthesia & the Soul"

gerald posted Jul 4 '20 at 2:38 pm

"Anesthesia & the Soul" (see: ) is a book written to answer a need. For many years those interested in Near-Death Experiences and Out-of-Body experiences have been skirting around the core aspect of these fascinating experiences that reveal so much about the functioning of our bodies and minds.

The market has been provided with a plethora of books such as "Life after Life" by Raymond Moody, Evidence of the Afterlife", by Jeffery Long, "Proof of Heaven:"by Eben Alexander, "Consciousness Beyond Life" by Pim van Lommel, "The Handbook of Near Death Experiences" by Janice Holden and others, "The Self Does not Die", by Rudolf Smit and A. Dirven, etc, etc. The list is endless varying from serious works to to anthologies of near-death experiences, to popular "woo".

But all these books have one thing in common -- they claim these experiences prove the reality that people have some sort of immaterial, separable consciousness. Yet they ignore the next step which is proving people really do have some sort of immaterial separable consciousness. After all, if an immaterial separable consciousness is illusory, then these experiences are yet another in the gamut of marvelous human hallucinatory experiences, and removes the necessity for examining these experiences in a case by case manner.

"Anesthesia & the Soul" (see: https://anesthesiasoul.com) examines the properties and reality of such an immaterial separable consciousness in a systematic fashion using insights from medicine and physics.

Psi, or paranormal may simply be illusory

gerald posted Jul 4 '20 at 2:16 pm

Many people believe in the reality of paranormal perceptions such as telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, psychokinesis. Indeed many websites such as Skeptiko, the blog of Michael Prescott, and the books of Dean Radin, and countless others assume that the reality of Psi has been proven again and again.

Nonetheless this is not quite true. Psi and the paranormal have been intensively investigated since the founding of the Society for Psychical Research in England in 1882, and the Duke University Parapsychology Laboratory in 1935. Yet for practical purposes, most of the world parapsychology remains a fringe popular belief with no practical applications. Indeed, if it exists, it is one of the strangest of human abilities -- practice normally makes people better at any ability, but practice and continuous use of psi abilities actually causes a reduction of psi abilities!

Contrast the start of serious psi research during 1882 to that of the demonstration of radio waves by Heinrich Hertz during 1886. The use of radio wave apparatus is now so ubiquitous, we cannot miss things like mobile telephones, microwave ovens, radio, television, etc, etc.

The contrast is enormous. Psi must first be demonstrated to occur consistently, if at all, before any theories involving psi particles, quantum entanglement, trans-dimensional tachyonic quantum flapdoodle can be proposed.

The book "Anesthesia & the Soul" discusses this problem in detail, coming to the conclusion that if such information transfer, or abilities exist, that they will have properties, and be very different to what has been investigated until this time.

The soul is not the location and repository of all memories

gerald posted Jul 4 '20 at 11:59 am

The experience of thousand of physicians and millions of patients undergoing medical procedures using conscious sedation with drugs such as Midazolam and Propofol proves the soul is not the location and repository of memories. This proves the illusory nature of beliefs published in the books published by Chris Carter, Pim van Lommer, Jeffery Long etc, etc, as well as these same illusory beliefs propagated by Alex Tsakaris in the website Skeptiko.

"Anesthesia & the Soul" is a step by step analysis proving that all memories are located in the brain.
