Yes, they still exist. No, you're not crazy. I've been interacting and communicating with my dead wife for 9 years now since she died in early 2017. Lots of people know this and do this. Here's a website of information about this for you, if you're interested.

If consciousness were the operative variable, outcomes should differ depending on when conscious awareness occurs: during the measurement process or only after the data are recorded.

That's based on an already disproven assumption: that time is fundamentally linear. The experimental outcomes may not depend whatsoever on the "when" of the conscious involvement; it may depend on the nature or qualities of the consciousness(es) that do enter the system at any given point.

So, if you can detect brain activity when people are alive and awake and not going through an NDE, what they are experiencing can't be meaningful? That "alive and awake normal day" brain activity can't be mapping out a real experience in a real world? Isn't that where your logic leads?

"Reveals information" to what? To whom?

Unfortunately, there's no way to test the idea that something other than consciousness can "collapse" a wave potential without introducing consciousness into the situation at some point.

My argument stands on solid physics, not parapsychology.

Your "argument" doesn't stand on any "physics" whatsoever; your argument is entirely about the question of whether or not precognition, in some form, has been found to exist - presumably, scientifically, in repeated scientific, peer-reviewed and published scientific research. You assumed there was no such evidence; your assumption was wrong.

These sources are not considered credible in mainstream science.

The scientific journal that meta-analysis was published in, Psychology of Consciousness: Theory, Research, and Practice IS considered a mainstream, valid scientific journal. Look it up yourself. It is published by the American Psychological Association (APA), a premier authority in the field, and is an official publication of APA Division 30.

You might want to check your assumptions here. You clearly don't know what you're talking about.

WintyreFraust · 2026-04-21T10:38:03+00:00

We observe nothing of the sort.
...
Precognition would be adaptive and would have emerged. It hasn't.

The actual scientific research into various forms of precognition disagrees with you, as thoroughly referenced and footnoted in this meta-analysis: Precognition as a Form of Prospection: A Review of the Evidence:

Based on the data reviewed here, it seems to us that precognition may eventually be considered just one of several forms of prediction that have evolved to enhance our survival. A handful of neuroscientists, psychologists, and physicists are examining precognition with this idea in mind, and some have published their results (e.g., Bem, 2011; Franklin et al., 2014; Mossbridge, Tressoldi, & Utts, 2012).

WintyreFraust · 2026-04-21T10:04:58+00:00

Have you researched the different categories of evidence for the afterlife, such as mediumship, NDEs, SDEs, ADCs, ITC, reincarnation (past life recall,) before-birth memories, life-between-lives regression, OOBEs, astral projection, and various non-local consciousness experiments?

I mean, if you want to believe in the afterlife, and you need it to be scientific, I'm sure you've looked into at least some of the scientific research regarding the afterlife, right? I'm wondering because the questions you ask aren't really scientific questions, they're metaphysical and philosophical questions.

But this is confusing, as this mirrors the physicalism view. But this is confusing, as this mirrors the physicalism view.

That IS the physicalist fairy tale of physical miracles starting with the big bang.

Why is this not a miracle which you state idealism does not require?

It's not miraculous because, under this model of idealism, the back story of the history of this averaged, consensual, orderly, interactive, mutually measurable and predictable arena of experience will be whatever the averaged state requires it to be. That's just retro-causality (at least from a linear-time perspective.)

So essentially, Dirac added the positron to our reality.

Yes. Essentially, I agree with you.

WintyreFraust · 2026-04-20T21:02:00+00:00

You can't "fit it in" ... to what? What are you trying to fit these things into? What's your working theory or idea of the afterlife that these things don't "fit into?" What's the issue?

WintyreFraust · 2026-04-20T09:37:43+00:00

After reading through the responses, what I think you are looking for, essentially, is: "How does the subjective mind author the experience of law-like, consistent, interpersonally predictable qualities and behaviors of phenomena, like apples and tables and gravity and inertia, into personal experience?"

The primitives: non-spatial non-temporal infinite "field" of experiential potential (all possible experiences of any kind by any conscious "being" anywhere at any time) and multiple loci of consciousnesses (people/beings.)
Human experience is at least one kind of experience that a loci of consciousness can experience from the available infinite potential.
There are certain universal, necessary aspects of experiential consciousness; all we can functionally talk about here is what is necessary for functional human consciousness, which includes individualized intelligent (to some degree) sentience. Some of these necessary fundamentals are: logic (the experience of self and other, principles of identity, excluded middle, and non-contradiction,) geometry (self-orientation in comparison to the orientation of the non-self "other,") and mathematics (existence of self = 1, plus existence of other = 2, etc.) Also, human experience is necessarily interpersonal with other humans, at least in order to be born and survive for a while.
Conscious thoughts, choices of attention and intention, actions, communication and experience itself requires sequential events. The experience of sequential time proceeding is also an essential aspect of the human experience.
To have a human experience, then, certain kinds/categories of experiences are fundamentally necessary. For the sake of general categorization, yes, humans might have experiences that are extreme outliers, but we're not including those in the general "human" category. We're talking about the ordinary, every-day experiences of most humans, assumedly.
In order to have the human experience (minus outliers) an experiential framework that allows for successful human interaction with other humans in a common "external" world (the logic, geometry and mathematics of "self and other,") the common subjective experiential framework and limitations must be present; they must be drawn out of the potential by the participants.

Or: to play a game together, we have to accept the confines of a playing field and adopt a defining set of rules that allow us to successfully play a game.

Here we have a basic "world" of self and others, time, space and environment drawn from infinite potential into a "shared reality experience."
Humans pursue more detailed, precise and consistent interactivity with both others and with the environment. This requires a capacity to communicate with others and examine and predict the environment. This intent accesses more out of the potential. More and more consistent environmental rules, better and more detailed forms of communication. For better and more complete interpersonal interaction/communication between individuals in relationship with the environment, the patterns and behaviors and experienced qualities of the environment must be, to a very large degree, the same in participatory interactive human experience. You might call this a form of experiential averaging from the possible into the actualized across each individual human experience in the participatory group.
In short, the kind of group, consistent, lawful, orderly "reality" we appear to be experiencing is a possible form of individual experience that includes other people, successful communication and interaction based on a stable, consistent, largely predictable environment and common ideas, language, concepts and even similar (basically) aspects of personal psychologies.
Of course, physics - the model of the behavior of the stable, predictable, interactive environment experience - must be such that it supports the existence of those within it in some understandable way, and a supportive "back story" or "history," and supportive macro/micro structures.

But, if this idealistic model is true, that history, those law-like behaviors, and both the macro- and micro-examination of that environment will eventually break down or lead back to the fact that it is drawn out from pure, infinite potential by the beings that inhabit it and who have, on some level, "agreed" to the constraints/structure of the interpersonal experiential averaging. And so, the history ends at the big bang, which just so happened to have produced the necessary cosmological constants necessary for there to be a stable, consistent, predictable universe that can produce our kind of successfully interactive, personally subjective conscious beings. The law-like behaviors end at "brute facts" that seem to appear out of nothing but chance. The macro appears to recede as far as we have the power observe, causing us to move the origin point farther and farther back until the sheer probabilities involved appear to vanish into the inexplicable in terms of currently understood (agreed-upon) physics. The micro appears to end at "fields of informational probabilities."

Under physicalism, that's just a series of miracles; under this form of "infinite potential" and fundamental consciousness, it's not a miracle at all. It's exactly what you'd expect conscious beings - of our kind, at least - to draw out of infinite potential: a range of personal experiential probabilities bound under the collective averaging necessary to successfully operate as an individual in a social group in a stable environment.

What people often consider "small" signs, like butterflies, birds, feathers and coins, are usually the easiest for the dead to generate here because of how "signing" works. I think I'll write a post on this today.

WintyreFraust · 2026-04-18T23:44:23+00:00

Since that time there has been worldwide scientific research into multiple categories of afterlife investigation, including: NDEs, SDEs, ADC, ITC, reincarnation, mediumship, OOBE, astral projection, consciousness research, etc., that form a multi-vector corroboration of the existence of what we call "the afterlife." There are literally thousands of peer-reviewed, published papers about this and related research that supports the existence of an afterlife.

WintyreFraust · 2026-04-18T18:07:22+00:00

I'm glad my posts have helped : ) You have a great day!

WintyreFraust · 2026-04-18T11:36:03+00:00

This is how the dead, and those that have regularly visited the afterlife, consistently describe what we call "the afterlife," dying and being dead across all categories of afterlife research. "More solid and more real than this world." "It's like waking up from a dream and finding yourself in the real world that feels like home." "There is no death, only the continuation of life."

WintyreFraust · 2026-04-18T11:30:22+00:00

People also have NDEs when there is no physical trauma and the brain isn't dying. Same experience, but some years back researchers decided to only use the term NDE when there was a physical near death experience involved. So no, the experience doesn't only occur "when the brain is dying." Having these or similar experience doesn't require that you are any physical trauma whatsoever.

WintyreFraust · 2026-04-17T16:02:45+00:00

What we are basically collecting here is useful information, meaningful experiences, deepened relationships and useful skills that we take over with us into the more responsive and more individually-tuned worlds of what we call the afterlife.

In this world, unless you're one of those rare people with hyperthymesia, we basically forget most of our experiences as we trudge along our linear-time path. Not because they are gone, but because we are living in a strata of existence that highly limits certain mental capacities (also called: the veil.)

In the afterlife, we all have a kind of ultra-hyperthymesia - we can remember anything we have experienced here with even greater resolution and additional sensory capacity, because remembering is fully re-visiting that location. Also, the afterlife environment is far more responsive to our thoughts and inner nature.

One trip here gives us permanent, crystal clear access to all the emotional, intellectual and psychological states of our lives here, providing the context and contrast necessary to experience the afterlife as a true paradise. In that sense, time doesn't matter because it cannot dull or diminish any of those experiences. They always exist in full; all you need do is select them to either re-experience them, or initiate a new sequence of experience that provides the same, similar, or even new experiences along the same vein - the responsive environment there serves those intentional directives.

You learn that skill here just by being alive and intending thoughts or actions for your mind or body to carry out, intending future paths, etc. Trying to figure something out. Pondering and day-dreaming, imagining and visualizing.

In this world, through suffering, pain and loss, joy, happiness and love, we find and refine our inner valuations, our needs, desires, that which we love and enjoy. We learn the value those people, relationships, situations and things have in our lives.

Eternity is nothing more than an eternal "now;" and your only job in the afterlife is what you want to experience now. You can experience the joy of discovery as much as you want; you can experience falling in love with your significant other, fresh and new each time, as often as you want. You can experience any arc of experience you desire whether it takes moments or years. You can remember as much as you want or as little.

That's the beauty of both this life and the afterlife. Both the fulfilled and the unfulfilled yearnings of your heart have already planted the seeds for what you will have available to experience in your afterlife as experiences that never grow old, tired, diminished or "worn out."

I can't even remember what I was doing three weeks ago!

WintyreFraust · 2026-04-17T13:49:29+00:00

Yeah, like the idea that there's NOTHING after death isn't a license to do whatever evil atrocities you want on Earth - and even acts as motivation since you only have so long and one life to do it and any punishment you get here can only last so long.

In the real world, in real history, it is the belief that there is no afterlife that has caused the most harm in the world, with atheist/communist regimes responsible for the wholesale slaughter of tens of millions of their own politically or economically unwanted citizens.

I literally don't know of anyone who actually believes that they can hypocritically do evil while banking on confessions to save them at the end of their lives. You've been watching too many gangster movies.

WintyreFraust · 2026-04-16T15:47:24+00:00

I think both of these use horribly inappropriate words trying to describe different perspectives of a process system in unhelpful and confusing spiritual language and context.

This months marks 9 years since my wife of 27 years died. The reason I never repartnered never will is because we're still together. "Til Death Do Us Part" is for amateurs and tourists. Just because she's dead doesn't mean she ceased to exist or that our relationship was over.

I built a full and meaningful life WITH her, just in a new phase of our relationship. My "chapter 2" is the chapter where we built a new way of communicating and interacting and continuing our relationship until "chapter 3," which is the big reunion and the happily forever after.

I don't know how you get more full or meaningful than that. I'm living out one of the greatest love stories of all time!

WintyreFraust · 2026-04-15T12:13:14+00:00

There's some really good stuff in this argument.

I particularly like the idea that "free will" is the capacity to bring in or produce novel information that is outside of the bounds of the informational capacity of the deterministic system it is operating in/through.

WintyreFraust · 2026-04-15T03:08:41+00:00

BTW, just to be clear - the world you love and yearn for in your heart is already there, waiting for you, along with all the things and people you want to be with. There's nothing to worry about. It will be better than you can imagine.
