Re: What Is The Nature Of Consciousness?

Exactly, one of the first things I was taught in physics is that energy can never be destroyed, only changed.

If true, what sets humans apart from other creatures in that sense? We're just another creature. Does every ant or house fly that has ever existed, also "exist" after death?
Just gets very silly.
All very reasonable questions.

Their spirit resides in what has been labelled as the Spirit World, some people prefer the term Heaven, Paradise etc.

They do indeed function in the same way that we do now, but without the constraints of a physical body. We are all actually spirits now, but encased in a physical body.

Yes, all animals that have a spirit/soul go into the world of spirit after leaving their physical body on this physical plane of existence.

Smaller things like ants, fleas etc are said to go there collectively. I've never come across any to my knowledge (only ever had spirit cats and possibly a dog come on visitation), but that doesn't mean that this theory is (or isn't) true. I do tend to believe it though and the words of the hymn 'All Creatures Great and Small' is my reasoning.

Anything is possible. An eternal soul a God no matter how impossible it may seem to you it still might be the case. Or we could just live then die and consciousness just a burden making us suffer knowing all we have in front is death and eternal nothing|

I might not agree with what people think and have my own beliefs but I respect the fact people have a right to their own faith in what ever it is
I totally agree with your excellent post as there are far, far more things about our existence and the world around us that we don't know than what we have discovered thus far. Yes, over the years we have come leaps and bounds, but I still think we are only just discovering the tip of the iceberg.
