Hi

There's a parable around somewhere about that kind of faith in love being the greatest because it doesn't rely on the afterlife as a reward.

Bets,

a reward is not important to me, but oblivion - and therefore total senselessness of existance - is.

I just learned, for example, that when you split the communication between the two brain halves, both store memory independently and act independently. How can this be if there is a consciousness somehow outside the brain? How could this consciousness store memory? Also, with Alzheimer, people can carry on a converstation sometimes, but do not remember their children, even that they have children etc. How can this be? They are "there" but yet not really there as they forget very important parts of who they are.

I just cant take it.

This video may  give you some perspective on how the brain is but a 'filter' of consciousness and not the other way around. A damaged brain means only so much consciousness can filter through to put it in the most simple terms. It isn't the consciousness that is damaged.
Let go of your 'trained' left brain thinking and you may see what this is about...

Here is the video  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq--75v4lI8
