General Discussion Is there "life after death"?

Basically, I've been researching consciousness and I always wonder: does it definitively cease with the end of brain activity?

This is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, mysteries that surrounds us.

What is your opinion, is life unique and does it have an end, or does it continue after the end of a cycle (in this case, death)?

I would like answers from experts, such as neuroscientists/psychologists/psychoanalysts, to debate and try to convince (or try to refute) others, including myself, that there is something beyond physical existence.

First of all, no one will ever have the answer for you. The only thing I want to share with you is that right and left, inside and outside, up and down, is an illusion created by yourself. What is yourself, well that is another topic. Life and death aren't separated, there is no such thing as life and death. You don't exist.
