What do you think is the essence of who you are, your memories, your consciousness, combination of both? What else? If you’d like to live forever, what are the reasons?

We are the essence of our information.

At the physical level, we are assembled into particles that together form our body, but in order to make the body run; work; come alive, it needs a life force. The life force is composed of conscious energy in an electrical field that holds information. Information that is not physical, nor can it be detected by physical means.

As we journey through life we will collect information (that is our only purpose). This information is collected through our sense of smell, taste, touch, sight, feelings and emotions. We will also collect information that we perceive, analyze and judge. We will collect information in all our thoughts, assumptions, perceptions, ideas, fantasies and knowledge and we will collect information from our attachments, relationships and interactions with the world. We will store all of this information in our conscious energy field. Even our personality and character will be recorded as will our thoughts of what we look like, sound like and our thoughts of who we think we are.

While all of the physical bits of information will one day break down, causing the body to decompose and turn to dust, the non-physical bits of information stored in our conscious energy, and our true form; our conscious energy body; will not break down nor will it ever be destroyed.

Gravity holds us to the body and when the body dies, the gravity lock opens and we leave, intact, in our true form; our conscious energy body which is a reflection of how we perceived we looked like in our mortal form.

We will exist in our true world; the conscious universe; in our true form and we will continue to live as we did on earth. That is, we will continue to experience information. We will think up new information and new experiences and we will relive old information.

We are all minds and as minds we continue to function as a mind functions: thinking and day dreaming.

Because we are all minds, we are always connected to each other through consciousness, so we can always contact one another through thoughts. We can do this while alive, in flesh, with other flesh beings, and we can do this while flesh communicating with non-flesh beings (conscious energy beings who were once human but whose bodies died.) And once we are released from our bodies we can still communicate with flesh beings on earth and with non-flesh beings in our new realm; the conscious universe.

Our essence is conscious energy.
Our home is the conscious universe.

Our bodies are our minds which are NOT physical. The brain is physical. The brain receives messages from the mind and transmits messages to the mind through neuron pathways.

When the pathways are damaged, there is no information coming from the mind, it cannot get through any more than the old fashioned phones could function when a storm knocked down the wires.

Only those gifted in the channeling of consciousness would be able to still hear and speak with the consciousness of someone whose brain had been damaged but consciousness cannot be damaged.

As for living forever, this is up to the individual conscious entity who will continue to think until for an eternity if it chooses to do so.
