This is the blind leading the blind:

"When dying the reverse happens. As we, the living, see the beloved or whatever cease to live, that person experiences an afterlife with a duration extending to infinity. This effect is due to a change in the speed of the internal clock, induced by death-related chemical reactions in the brain."

That statement has no known basis in science or fact.  The experience of consciousness explorers does not support this hypothesis.  Chumley, if the last few seconds of our lives stretched in our mind to infinity, there would be no afterlife contact at all.  When your grandma was dead, she would have reached the end of her infinity.  Any attempts to contact the spirit then would never work after her demise in C1.

I think a basic stumbling point here is that you believe in what Dave called the primacy of matter.  That our dying brain and chemicals is primary and our spirit is secondary.   

Why do you seek out these websites showing agonizing eternities as afterlife alternatives?  Theories will come endlessly; only by exploring for yourself with TMI or via meditation will you be open to the truth.

Hi folks-

I'm with Matthew in this.  However, we can view the electrochemical processes of the body as potentially radiating a field in all directions.  Then that field will expand forever, altering the nature of the cosmos as it expands.  Each interaction will manifest our nature, so we could take the posture that our "afterlife" as an expanding field of influences is infinite and eterna. By adding the kinetic interactions and sequences of our lives, we could even make an argument for the material projection of the individual after death. This is not too far from the "eternal" idea.

Given this kind of afterlife, we would expect people to occasionally repot that in their interlife phase, between lifetimes, they would find themselves to be part of the distrbuted  furniture of their world. On two specific occasions people have reported this to me, that they sort of "became everything" and that their existence got "smeared" over all the fireplugs, trees, rocks and clouds of their universe, yet without loss of self.

The next step, however, seems to differ with the "once through to eternity" model. The circumstances surrounding the death of the actor, also continue through the world, When the tendencies and dynamics expressing the past nature of the actor, ie: the past karmic residues, come into phase at a moment propitious to birth,then there is a strong tendency for the rest of the actor's properties to occur, through development,  and we see a rebirth. That doesn't negate the continued expansion of the prior influences through time and space.

The impression seems to be one of a series of manifestations, each arising from its predecessor, as the predecessor expands indefinitely outward into the surounding void. While this seems a bit strange initially, it is actually no difference from returning to a world in which we worked to create changes, and in the next life we experience those changes.

Aside from the :"black hole" idea, this interpretation of the link is that the writer failed to continue with the idea to include further events, giving up when the first "infinity" arose. The "black hole" idea is, in my estimation, out of place. Material phenomena of that type do not look the same way when we deal exclusively with information in a context, or entropy fields. But maybe I'm just being picky.
