No one dies; death is an illusion



All these while, I have been under the impression that the whole life is an illusion and it really doesn’t exist. Not only that, my impression was that the entire universe is an illusion and there is nothing like this ever existed. But now I tend to change my mind, especially after reading an article written by Robert Lanza, MD, Biocentrism.
Quoting Albert Einstein, he begins with the conclusion - death is an illusion.
Well, the common perception is that the world has an independent existence. Majority of people think life is just the activity of carbon and an admixture of molecules – all creatures live for a while and then die and rot into the ground.
What Lanza is trying to say is we believe in death just because we’ve been taught that we die one day and no one is an exception to this rule.  It is just because we associate ourselves with our body. Yes, bodies do die, but we don’t.
And that is this new theory – biocentrism – is all about. Death of a human body is not the end of the story. It is end of just another chapter of an unending fiction.
Lanza says, “Amazingly, if you add life and consciousness to the equation, you can explain some of the biggest puzzles of science. For instance, it becomes clear why space and time – and even the properties of matter itself – depend on the observer. It also becomes clear why the laws, forces, and constants of the universe appear to be exquisitely fine-tuned for the existence of life. Until we recognize the universe in our heads, attempts to understand reality will remain a road to nowhere.”
It all about what we feel.  Perhaps what we see around us may not be in the form an colour that we perceive. You see a blue sky, but the cells in your brain could be changed so the sky looks green or red.  According to Lanza, with a little genetic engineering we could probably make everything that is red vibrate or make a noise, or even make you want to have sex like with some birds. “You think its bright out, but your brain circuits could be changed so it looks dark out. You think it feels hot and humid, but to a tropical frog it would feel cold and dry. This logic applies to virtually everything. Bottom line: What you see could not be present without your consciousness,” he says.
Yes, our eyes can’t all things in the world. Whatever you think you see, hear, smell, taste or feel are information passed on by the brain. In the same way, space and time are simply tools of our mind. When there is nothing called space and time, where is death then?
After the death of a human body, the person will go to some new world that his dead body never understood.
Lanza says: Life is an adventure that transcends our ordinary linear way of thinking. When we die, we do so not in the random billiard-ball-matrix but in the inescapable-life-matrix. Life has a non-linear dimensionality – it’s like a perennial flower that returns to bloom in the multiverse.
