You are not your body 

              You are much more than that. Your consciousness, soul, or whatever you want to call it, exists outside of and independent of the body. The evidence for this has existed for thousands of years and has become even more convincing in the past hundred years or so. Especially from research into NDE’s. See https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJFB83pP-MKglY7Vdv2cOuw/videos?app=desktop. Having had communication with dead relatives myself, I know that it is real. And that is far from the only experience that has convinced me. It is the combination of experiences and my knowledge of the evidence that leads me to believe what I do. And if you had that knowledge you would probably think the same. Many people don’t believe in any of this and that’s OK. No matter what you believe now, you will discover the truth when you do die. That is certain. The existence of aliens and their advanced technology proves that there is technology behind our consciousness that we currently know nothing about. Being an electrical engineer, I have some ideas of what that technology might consist of. And my extensive experience with psychic and spiritual phenomena helps. My education and experiences give me a unique insight into these matters. You don’t have to believe me, but my beliefs are just as valid as yours. Being a part of non-physical reality, it is understandable if you don’t believe me. But the non-physical does influence the physical so there must be a connection somewhere. We just have not found it yet.
