Basically, this is known to be the part of the brain which is responsible for consciousness. Not for producing it, because the brain does not produce consciousness, but for anchoring the "consciousness signal" into the brain and body.

When it is damaged, it produces OBEs. When it is stimulated (meaning its normal function is disrupted) it produces OBEs.

When you have people who do meth, for example, they're taking heavy damage to their TPJ. When you have this, you will often see meth users looking off on to the other side of the room and talking to themselves as if they're outside of their own bodies.

When you have Multiple Personality Disorders (now known as DID) you have the TPJ provably powering down whenever the non dominant personality is there but showing normal or being even overactive when the dominant personality is there. Basically, translating this into spiritual terms, it means whenever this anchor is not working the dominant personality leaves and another spirit enters.

So over and over again we can measure how consciousness and out of body experiences are related to this part of the brain. The "Brain as receiver" theory of consciousness is basically 100% proven in neurology, but the sciencefucks dont want to face it because theyre pushing a disgusting antihuman agenda which is funded by billionaires and the CIA.

They want to keep you dumb, uninformed, nihilistic and horrified that this life is the only thing keeping you conscious because it makes you easier to control under capitalism.

No one needs to do anything for you. You can read about the temporoparietal junction on your own, if you do choose to, (on top of many other things for example NDEs) and you will very fast understand observations with this portion of your brain undebatably prove your brain is a reciever.

If you, or someone else wanted out of legitimate interest, I would have worked to find the original studies which I was referencing just becuz I would know you were interested in them.

A lot of this research was originally done by a guy named "Olaf Blanke" over 20 years ago, and is rather wellknown stuff

The leap from "TPJ disruption correlates with OBEs" to "therefore consciousness is external and the brain is a receiver" is not supported. You don't even attempt to support it. instead you attempt to sneak this non-sequitur in by claiming a conspiracy.

You are a knowingly deceitful liar.
>>
A reminder to everyone in this thread about "The Hard Problem of Consciousness" which basically means the fact that science, for all its stigma and dogma abounding on this issue, has not found 1 shred of hard evidence where "consciousness arises from the brain".
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_problem_of_consciousness
So just remember that when youre reading above at all off the "soiencebros" barking at me about my OP supposedly not being cited (when you can google and confirm just about every piece of information easily which I put within it). And the reason why theyve found no evidence of that is, in fact, because the brain is the receptor of consciousness and not the generator of it. Yeah just remember theyre only yelling about dogma and politics. For all of their claims about having "authority and muh academic consensus" theres legitimately no evidence or science behind their soience.
>>
>>42360737
Shutting down the brain doesnt shut down consciousness and this is proven time after time by NDEs. And now with the TPJ you have an experimental programme in which you can shut down only 1 specific part of the brain, and the person pops out of it still totally conscious but not within their body. At the same time you have meth heads who routinely view themselves from outside of their own body due to damage from this part of the brain. You have recorded case studies of people who have this part of their brain damaged and permanently view themselves from the 3rd person perspective. Everything youre writing here is anti-intellectual and you're just mad about me posting on this board about the truth.
>>
>>42360154

for the record, on top of what I wrote above, part of my point is that if consciousness arises from the brain then shutting down the TPJ should not result in an out of body experience. If the brain is the generator then you should not have a conscious experience only from a different perspective when this part of your brain is damaged or disrupted. So no, I'm not being "deceptive" or whatever you said, you're just being the usual soience anti-intellectual and ignoring basic facts while denying basic logic...

>>42360760
What's proven is that people report vivid experiences after resuscitation. We don't have reliable evidence that the experiences occur during the flatline rather than in the minutes of before or after. Your failure to anticipate this point proves that you are a crouching faggot hidden nigger.

Yeah no this is just false.

Here's an interesting fact: in the ancient and medieval world heaven was thought to be literally in the sky, and hell literally below the ground. The Copernican Revolution dethroned the geocentric model and threw this model into disarray. The idea that heaven and hell are other 'dimensions" emerged in the 19th and 20th centuries and was greatly influenced by pop fiction. This model conveniently made heaven and hell inaccessible to any sort of observation, making it undisprovable.
>>
>>42360834
I mean if this is supposed to disprove, or provide evidence against, the notion of life after death then it just fails outright miserably. On its face. Dont know why I would even have to address this further. I'm not christian or attached to any specific religious denomination and thats an entirely separate question when it comes to the afterlife from "whether or not we factually continue to exist after death or not". And evidence proves we do. Really the evidence for is strong enough to be considered "proof" basically.
>>
>>42360825
Certainly is a weird fucking bunch of responses to a man who shows up and merely presents a bit of evidence that we dont blink out of existence when we die, and our lives are not in fact meaningless transient blinks of an eye where we will eventually merely cease to be. Depressing.

The responses are also very unlike typical /x/ posters I noticed. Obviously this website is full of autistic slap fights, but the repetitive, antagonist and almost automated replies made me raise an eyebrow for sure.
>>
>>42360847
The point is that your "model" of the brain being a receiver inevitably has to do with the "other dimensions" model of the afterlife, a model that you take for granted. A model that has its roots in theists desperately trying to cover up the failures of their worldview, and no basis in reality.

What has been proven time and time again is the desire for an afterlife makes you fundamentally retarded. You are just another data point to add to this conclusion.

does that mean it is possible to hijack someone else's brain?

There is no point because theres nothing about your personal emotional beef with religion, or with religion in and of itself, which relates to this discussion in any way.

My beef is with those who endlessly try to rehash the same failed ideas endlessly without support, hoping to fool dullards (whether or not this includes themselves.)
My point still stands: >>42360776
You have no proof that OBEs are produced during flatline, and not before or after.
>>
>>42360876
OBEs produced during flatline is 100% proven and if you want to deny that then its just the usual science dogmatist denial of undeniable facts. For your posts above where you try to make this about religion: those are irrelevant to me since this thread has nothing to do with religion and once you brought that up you basically proved yourself to be totally emotionally-motivated rather than rationally-motivated. Like all monsters of soience.
>>
My theory on what motivates many of the soience monster people within this thread: Fascists are not known for being nice people. Fascists are not known for obeying the law or being positive forces within their communities. IMO there are many fascists on this board who have committed hardcore, absolutely unforgivable crimes. I'm talking murders. I'm talking rapes. I'm talking the kidnapping and rape of children. And these are the people whom you are speaking to when you're on 4chan (especially /pol/).

If you think this isnt true, then just look at the laundry list of confirmed murderers, rapists or pedophiles who were known to have been users of these boards. So when I talk about "life after death being real and im going to provide evidence for it", well this is a horrifying though to people who have committed these horrific crimes and essentially know theyll be burning in eternal hell.
>>
>>42360896
And, of course, with NDEs people do frequently report hellish ones, or witnessing versions of hell.

I think its a place people go due to their own guilt. Since Im not a religion person. But in the end no human knows.

interesting viewpoint assuming its not some kind of mistake in wording.

a lot of people think the afterlife is only a cope a retard would belive in.
but I would wager most smart people , would "desire" one, they just know they can't get one.

why do you think the desire of the afterlife, less so than the belife makes you retarded.
it is an interesting way of moving the question though , were even if the afterlife was real , we should pretend it isn't to conserve Iq.

very interesting perspective , specially since you are claiming that its worldwide suported , and academically suported.

It's an interesting idea, but the thing confusing me is the if the "receiver" of the spirit shuts down when another spirit seizes control, how it that being received without it? Does it get inside entirely and essentially lock the door behind it to prevent the human spirits continued remote access? Or it is also accessing remotely, but through another area?

There is literally zero scientific evidence that the brain produces consciousness. They have no idea how it arises. Scientists call it the "hard problem".
Every single mystic tradition, however, has known for thousands of years that awareness gives rise to the physical world, not the other way around. And before you ask, it's by way of direct experience. All traditions spanning time and geography, with no way to collaborate, have come to this conclusion.

>why do you think the desire of the afterlife, less so than the belife makes you retarded.

At its roots the desire for the afterlife is not a desire for more life, it is a desire for life to be different in kind: permanent, secured against loss, freed from the terror of ending. The desire mistakes the nature of what makes life worth desiring.

An ocean wave is not beautiful despite its brevity, it is beautiful as brevity. The crash, the spray, the translucence t the curl's peak exist because the wave is spending itself completely. A wave that never broke would not be a wave at all: it would be a wall.

When existence becomes a layover, when this life is a waiting room and the afterlife becomes the destination, the value of the present moment is erased: it becomes mere scenery. The afterlife casts a shadow of insufficiency over the very life it claims to cherish. It says: this is not enough. This needs a sequel to mean anything.

But meaning doesn't work that way, it is not deferred. It exists - or doesn't - in the here, the friction between beings, the moment grief cracks you open.

If the injustices of this life are ultimately corrected in some cosmic ledger after death, then the urgency to correct them here is drained. Why wrestle with the brutal fact of a child's preventable death when some compensatory paradise irons out all accounts? It converts tragedy into a storyline that resolves off page, and this means we don't have to be the resolution.

Belief in the afterlife makes life a means to the end of an afterlife. It's a form of nihilism where nothing matters except what happens after death with life getting its meaning from this relation. The desire for an afterlife is a desire for life to be just a means to an end.

Desire for an afterlife is the ultimate form of retardation: a retarded orientation towards time and responsibility themselves.

It's an appeal to direct experience. And thank you for the compliment

>>42363656
They are. People like you just dont accept information when its presented for you and make up relentless mental gymnastics / false explanations which obviously do not make sense / handwave away every experiencer's personal reported experiences as falsified or imaginary, in order to protect whatever your materialism agenda is.

glowies HATE OP for one simple trick...
>>
>>42364072
It's simple. There is a period before and after flatline when the temporo-parietal junction is still active. You have given no evidence that OBE's are not produced during these periods, and instead during flatline. When asked out it, you flip out like a nigger monkey.

and you have given no evidence that it happens when you say

Thats not even reality becuz, like I've said above, there are cases where people were hooked up to EEGs for planned surgeries and then died and had the NDEs. Pam Reynolds is one of the most famous examples of that and her brainwaves were monitored the whole time. Anyway, your whole assertion that the brain could hallucinate NDEs during periods of nil or almost nil activity anyway are obviously false + the brain wouldnt even be able to write them as new memories based on neuroscience so on every level its just another fictional cope.

There's also people who report the details of their recuscitation or what the doctors did while they were confirmed flatlined.

Plus on to of what the dude above me said >>42364347 where hes completely correct that youve made these false assertions with zero evidence. You people just plug your ears and cover your eyes and pretend you see none of the evidence presented. Every time.

PS I just want to put one more emphasis on this because I cannot emphasize it enough: What youre trying to do now is invoke implausible explanations which are neurologically impossible on the basis of your own strict materialism model. When the brain is in that state post-resuscitation it should be incapable of these vivid experiences, or vivid experiences of consciousness and it would be doubly incapable of overwriting itself to make no memories. So now you're arguing things which your own consciousness strict materialism model renders "impossible". I think thats just hilarious. Just hilarious.

Nope, you brought the topic up so it'a your responsibility to get the ball rolling unless you want your thread filled with people telling you to "prove it". Seethe more.
>>
>>42364440
No. Its not. I dont have any responsibility whatsoever for stating a fact and then having to somehow back it up or do research for angry mendacious agendapushers on the internet, who are only discussing anything in poor faith in the first place.

If I wrote "trees are made of wood" on the internet then I dont need to back that up or "provide citations" in the same way I dont need to do this when I discuss the easily-demonstrably confirmed facts about the OBE and its relation to the TPJ which literally 100% of people who are curious can easily look up for themselves and find out im being completely on the level about.

No I dont need to do what you tell me to do, just because youre a whiny, entitled, buttmad bitch who's mad about being confronted with facts that upset his meticulously constructed soience dogma and make you recognize how fake your bullshit beliefs are
>>
>>42364440
>>42364528
Also, I dont need to do things just because you set up an arbitrary version of rules which you feel benefits you, in any given instance, by allowing you to randomly handwave away confirmable and undebatable facts. What I wrote in the OP about the TPJ are confirmable and undebatable facts. If you want to whine about citations and deny them that doesnt make them any less valid. Newsflash. And 100% of people who are interested in this topic enough to look it up are going to recognize "wow everything OP said was on the money".

And if I did go out of my way to provide you with your beloved citations, then youd just ignore them anyway and pretend you didnt see them and continually pretend what I wrote is false because you operate from a premise of emotionally-motivated mendacity.

So deny things as much as you want but it wont change one fact.

aren't you in some ways doing an inversion of that though, in a way people who are in the "void" of non existance , that they are also free , from the change of well change?

isn't to some degree non existance , as its ment to be a hard stance, a form of a religion, things can be ended , but they can also be restarted, yet that seems to never been able to happen to anyone.

I have seen the people you talked about , their is something kind of wierdly bizar about what they are.
but to some degree , your definition of beuty depends on you allready having a lot of stuff, to make something allready beutifull, and if i were to give those same manners to what after life people , could belive , then they could also resonably also have arguments as to why life is currently meaningfull,
>>
>>42364538
this is without getting as to why a smart person want that specific version of meaning, even if it were just because is right , that a smart person might in hubris just look at all existance as the story of them fixing all their problems, until their aren't any.

the main thing is, if even the lack of afterlife , can still be used as a refuged.
because their are a lot of people that use nonexistience to still have that feeling of life being a cause , to ignore anything interesting , any highercalling.

then I think the problem you are descriving is more fucked that you give it credit for, and I am not sure if a vage concept of stakes through non existence is enough.

thats without getting into how you can use a lot of similar logic to dismantle stuff in a similar manner.
is life only meaningfull if we trully lack free will? , if we trully lack hapyness in a qualia sence , would that make it more romantic more selfless.
would beliving that the you today is the same as the one yesterday, be a childish grasp at other peoples acomplisments , a disnhonor at the beuty of every single little moment.
is the belife that anything you have done actually happened , just a foolish understanding , that , THAT powerless proves your purity , your intention would get tainted by results.


you get too focused on making sure your food is good , that it makes people smile every day at the soup chitchen, using your telepathic delusional belife that you can tell because they spoke about it being good , when you could have just made it well for your beutifullness , and just have them a bunch of chees or something.
it seems like romantisism tropelling over any non etheral understanding of goodness , meaning and beuty.
but I do think you have a point anon, and it was a good read , I just think the point is way over the scale you think it is , your argument is complacent.
keep up the good work anon.

The mammalian brain is not just human. Those parts took millions of years to evolve.
Since we started as cellular than means at some point the brain was just a sponge at stages trying to gain insight on the world around us.
The brain is cellular evolution at its max
But its also just the best we have- who knows what else we could be experiencing or locked potentials that were made dormant by evolution.
>>42360111
Consciousness is the blend of hardwired brain pathways mixing with in the moment brain chemistry. Its looking out and looking in simultaneously.

You seem like you are asking for scientific explanations just so you can try to attack them with your pov of faith
