That which has no dimension, yet is the origin of self-awareness. It is the indivisible, irreducible unit of subjective experience, and the foundation of all perception. It is the point-of-view from where we experience the outside world.
Definition 2. Out-of-Body Experience (OBE)
A temporary expansion of the point of consciousness beyond the body, resulting in perception of 3D space independent of physical form. It is a temporary expansion of the 0D point of consciousness beyond the body into 3D external space, while still tethered to life and time.
Consciousness extended through all of spacetime from the point of death. The point of consciousness, no longer restricted by linear time, experiences a totality of existence relative to itself. Though fully realized at death, partial glimpses of 4D consciousness may occur in NDEs.
In Afterlife Theory, the term environment denotes an individual's surrounding space. Afterlife Theory views awareness and memory in terms of geometry. Environment, when viewed as geometry, is unlimited in X, Y, and Z - a three-dimensional space that surrounds consciousness.
Infinite size and duration that will be perceived at the last moment of life. Although the moment of death is singular in the external world, to the point of consciousness it becomes an eternal experiential continuum of the entire memory realm.
The transformation of the point of consciousness from one dimensional framework to another - specifically from 0D to 3D during OBE, and from 0D to 4D at death. This is the fundamental mechanism of Afterlife Theory.
Definition 7. Near-Death Experience (NDE)
A state in which consciousness catches a partial glimpse of 4D awareness, often described as timelessness, life review, or merging with a greater whole, without permanent departure from the body.
Definition 8. Dimension (in Afterlife Theory)
A dimension is a continuous and potentially unlimited surrounding space in which conscious awareness can exist and interact. Unlike the conventional physical definition, this usage emphasizes experiential and informational scope rather than measurable axes.
Definition 9. Birth (in Afterlife Theory)
Birth is the creation of the 0D point of consciousness. It is marked as the moment at which the point of consciousness enters and begins to operate within three-dimensional space, bound to the biological vessel.
A pyramid is used as a symbol of afterlife theory. It is a geometric object that illustrates both point and space. Point is characterized by the apex. Space is characterized by its base. A pyramid is a visual representation of conscious transition from point to space that will occur at the last moment of life.
Memeory is the totality of conscious experience accessible to the point of consciousness, existing not as a sequence, but as a whole. In 4D, memory is simultaneous rather than chronological. Memory can be thought of as all seeing and all knowing, containing everything ever experienced by an individual.
