Bodies And Brains

Bodies And Brains

Consciousness is a function of our brains.
Our bodies nourish the glow of our brains.
When the body dies, like a broken light bulb,
our consciousness vanishes to nothing.
If our glowing consciousness could continue
after the death of our body, then we
would not blank out when we fall into sleep,
and resurrect from the darkness of nothing.

While atoms always pulse with energy,
that spiral beams in vast infinity,
no self-aware consciousness can occur
anywhere in the universe of atoms
that swirl together in galaxies of stars
until pulsing atoms are organized
in brains that perceive the material world
and generate mental models of that world.

The genes that design our physical bodies
regenerate in bodies of our children,
thus our children are the reincarnation
of our bodies, so we live again in flesh.
Our individual consciousness itself
does not have an afterlife in other bodies,
for each body that transforms into life
generates its own single consciousness.

There is no beforelife for consciousness
except through energy of molecules
that function in the brains of our ancestors
who generate our bodies before death.
There is no afterlife for consciousness
except in the new brains of our descendants
who remember the people and events
of our lives in archetypes of their dreams.
