Maybe there's just consciousness after the mind is gone. It would just be looking, though there is nothing to look at and there is nothing you telling you so since your mind is gone... so it would be kind of like sleeping except with no dreaming. Annihilation basically, returning to the void. |
It is possible because the transmission of a car can be operated if it is taken out of the car and provided with another motion-source (engine). The psychology appears to be the same as the biology when the two are operating in a living body, but the psychology can exist without that body. Look at computers, they have a certain artificial intelligence in them and due to that we are taking help from them. But if all the computers in all the world shut down suddenly how would it be possible for us to continue existing sensibly. We would still go on but without the technology.
The person will still continue after the death of the body, though he or she would be deprived of the advantages which the body afforded.
