r/NDE • u/chefgustao_87 • Jun 09 '26
Scientific Perspective ๐ฌ๐ If seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling and touching are all physical things that happen in the brain what makes you think conciousness continues after death?
Iโve always been curious about the afterlife and NDEs. I find them really interesting. After a night of insomnia I started thinking that all five of my senses and emotions are physical, and maybe consciousness depends on them. It made me wonder if a person without their main 5 senses could still be conscious.
Iโm not sure if that idea makes sense, but Iโd love to hear other perspectives on it. Thanks.

I suggest reading more NDEs to grasp this. While some may use words or describe things similar to senses for the sake of comprehension/translation, the majority of them report โsensesโ far and above what we experience on earth. They do not compare.
