In this section on ‘Worldview Transformation,’ we explore the various ways our current materialistic worldview is sustained. This includes examples from language and assumptions that reinforce the programmed belief that the universe is purely physical and that spacetime is a fixed, objective reality.

#2) Discussing What Happens After Death
On platforms like Quora, discussions about ‘what happens after death’ are often dominated by the materialist worldview. The most common responses follow a predictable pattern: ‘There was nothing before you were born, and there will be nothing after you die’. Or, ‘There will be nothing – just eternal darkness.’

Why This Definition Is Incomplete In A Mental Universe
The materialist perspective relies on two key assumptions that are challenged by biocentrism and the mental universe model.

1) The assumption of objective time – Materialism assumes that we exist within time. However, according to biocentrism, time is not an external reality but an algorithm created by the mind.

2) The assumption of the physical self – Materialism suggests that we are merely our physical bodies and that consciousness ceases when the body dies. Biocentrism, on the other hand, posits that we are our consciousness, independent of the physical form.

So What Happens After Death?
In my view, there is no ‘after’ death, just as there is no ‘before’ death.

We think we live in time, but that is – so I believe – an illusion. Time is nothing more than the perception of change, and that perception is done by us: living beings.

Consciousness is primary in the universe; it creates spacetime and matter. In my view, we are not our body, but our consciousness.

Time and space, therefore, do not exist independently of observers. There is no external universe that continues to exist on its own, without consciousness.

But where do those observers come from? There must have been a beginning at some point, right?

Once again, time is not an objective reality. It exists only relatively, in relation to observers.

A common objection is that the universe has existed for billions of years, while life only emerged much later. How, then, can time be dependent on observation?

My answer to that is that time is created in the ‘now’ of observers – including the past that we consider to exist. This means that even the time in which there were no observers only gains meaning retrospectively. This concept is known as retrocausality.

We live in an eternal ‘now,’ in which all possible future and past scenarios exist simultaneously. At the moment I make an observation, those possibilities collapse into a single reality. This is my reality at that moment, and space and time, past and future, are part of it.

At the moment I die – that is, when my virtual body fails – I disappear from spacetime as experienced by other observers. But my consciousness does not disappear; it continues to experience. In my view, we exist forever.

What I will experience ‘after’ my death cannot be predicted, because the possibilities are limitless.

Perhaps I will experience spacetime again – in another life, another form, or even in a completely different spacetime universe. The possibility of a multiverse also exists within this ‘thing’ we are a part of, an entity that resembles an infinite collection of conscious experiences rather than a single spacetime arena.

Or perhaps, ‘after’ my death, I will find myself in the primary dimension of pure consciousness – a state that one might call ‘heaven.’ In this dimension, the experience of time will feel completely different, and it will be clear that the reality as we know it on Earth was nothing more than a convincing illusion.
