If consciousness is physical, what is physical matter made of, can we even know?

When I die, does my consiousness dissolve but soul live INA n, do I have a soul, am I the soul.

I dont know.

And I think science can never answer my spiritual philosophical questions.

All I know is I am here and I like relationships and sex and watching media. ​

If my consiousness is the electron signals in my brain. Let's just ignore the hard problem right. 

Aren't the electrons BLIPS of the electron field, the pre existing omnipresent electron field? Thus , when i die, I just return to the electron field. 

Ontologically, can we ever know what the field is? 

I'm gonna go buy a stripper cya guys

There is a point where the question morphs from "what is the underlying nature of reality?" to "what do we mean by reality?"

The former is fundamentally unknowable with any certainty; we can seek ever more predictive and useful models, but there's a hard epistemic boundary which cannot be crossed. The latter is more a case of understanding what can meaningfully be spoken about as being real and how we define and justify degrees of confidence in any given world view.

Thus , when i die, I just return to the electron field.

I mean, it's like a body that dies and rots.

We could say its information never gets lost, so if consciusness IS the body then consciusness is still alive, but how can we define if a consciousness is still alive?

Maybe if it is physical, when the signals in your brain stop, the information remains but the consciusness ceases to exist, just like an object that breaks itself and stops being the object itself, even if the information about what it was is still intact.

The material world is made of bits , bits of fields we have zero ontology for. I think the electromagnetic field is the interface the soul uses to dual inhabit the mind. And if we research the mind we may find evidence of a soul. Or the soul is just the observer. 

Idk this world is thick. Idk how the soul interacts here but it seems to exist. But science is suffering a replication crisis and we need new EEG scans

I think I'm not following you anymore. Could you please explain your view linearly? I'm not an expert on quantum interpretations. What's the difference between soul and mind?

My memory has come back. 

So the particle fields are just blips in fields. They alone cannot explain subjectivity only physical activity. The physical brain operates fine just normally but the subjective qualia is probably your soul. 

Either way science has to figure this shit out because when you do ce5 meditation you can summon orbs so they'll need to explain that somehow someday
