Biocentrism

Below, I've listed the 7 principles of Biocentrism and linked the Robert Lanza's books. His theory on death is probably the most intriguing part of biocentrism. I've been looking for proof of life after death for as long as I can remember. I'm not religious, so I've been looking for something to believe in, any shred of evidence. There's something about this theory that rings true. We are energy and energy can't be created or destroyed.

Lanza states: at death, you change reference points. It's still you but you experience different lives, different friends and even different worlds.

At death there's a break in our linear stream of consciousness and thus a break in the linear connection of times and places, but biocentrism suggests that consciousness is manifold and encompasses many such branches of possibility.

Death doesn't truly exist in any of these, all branches exist simultaneously and continue existing regardless of what happens in any of them. The "me" feeling is energy operating in the brain. But energy never dies, it can't be destroyed.

The 7 Principles of Biocentrism

From Dr. Robert Lanza's book titled "Biocentrism" - The 7 Principles of Biocentrism:

First Principle of Biocentrism: What we perceive as reality is a process that involves our consciousness. An “external” reality, if it existed, would – by definition – have to exist in space. But this is meaningless, because space and time are not absolute realities but rather tools of the human and animal mind.

Second Principle of Biocentrism: Our external and internal perceptions are inextricably intertwined. They are different sides of the same coin and cannot be divorced from one another.

Third Principle of Biocentrism: The behavior of subatomic particles –indeed all particles and

objects – is inextricably linked to the presence of an observer. Without the presence of a conscious observer, they at best exist in an undetermined state of probability waves.

Fourth Principle of Biocentrism: Without consciousness, “matter” dwells in an undetermined state of probability. Any universe that could have preceded consciousness only existed in a probability state.

Fifth Principle of Biocentrism: The structure of the universe is explainable only through biocentrism. The universe is fine-tuned for life, which makes perfect sense as life creates the universe, not the other way around. The “universe” is simply the complete spatiotemporal logic of the self.

Sixth Principle of Biocentrism: Time does not have a real existence outside of animal-sense perception. It is the process by which we perceive changes in the universe.

Seventh Principle of Biocentrism: Space, like time, is not an object or a thing. Space is another form of our animal understanding and does not have an independent reality. We carry space and time around with us like turtles with shells. Thus, there is no absolute self-existing matrix in which physical events occur independent of life.
