The Internet, with its mighty search engines and modern artificial intelligence, comes back with this when asked whether any mathematical proof of afterlife exists:
"There is currently no mathematical proof of an afterlife, and the question of an afterlife lies primarily within the domains of philosophy, theology, and metaphysics rather than mathematics or science. The afterlife is often viewed as a spiritual or religious concept, which, by its very nature, is not typically subject to mathematical or scientific proof."
We, at Proof of Afterlife, agree with one exception: the proof here on the site. Herein lies a mathematical proof of afterlife. The geometric properties of awareness and memory, coupled with the mathematical inverse relationship between the two, prove afterlife beautifully in a single, irrefutable sentence.
Other than us, the statement is true. Other than us, it's just not there. Nowhere on the Internet is anyone talking about memory as a realm of time and space. Nowhere is anyone talking about life-changing dimension. It's just not there. We are the only ones espousing these concepts. As the author, I always have my eyes open. Thus far, no other mathematical proof of afterlife exists, except this one.
First, it's mathematical. Second, there is a formula. Third, the evidence supports the theory. This 100% scientific website "Proof of Afterlife" offers a comprehensive theory of how life changes dimension at death. It presents various thought experiments, scientific research, real-life testimonies, and philosophical discussions that invite individuals to see the reality of afterlife. From near-death experiences (NDEs) to the accounts of out-of-body experiences (OBEs), this site gathers evidence from different sources to support the theory that consciousness is not confined to the physical body.
With the advancement of the Internet and the increasing number of documented personal experiences, it's clear that the question of afterlife is not only one of faith but also one with basis. For instance, near-death experiences often involve vivid accounts of leaving the body, encountering deceased loved ones, and even perceiving a sense of peace and love that transcends the physical world. These shared experiences, as highlighted on the website, suggest that death may not be the end but rather a transition to a different dimension of existence. That different dimension is memory. This "memory as space" model allows consciousness to be separate from the brain. Such findings create a foundation for a broader understanding of life after death, suggesting that our conscious selves might continue as memories at the moment of physical death.
The evidence cases of OBE, NDE, Virtual Reality, and Hyperthymesia shared on the website further support the theory that the mind will change dimension. Geometrically speaking, it goes from point to space, at its last moment. This first-hand evidence offers deeply moving and profound experiences reinforcing the tenets of "Proof of Afterlife." It turns out that what people report is exactly what we would expect to see. Memory as an afterlife concept has supporting evidence from many people who have been through NDE or OBE. Millions of people have witnessed their memory as space. They have been outside the brain looking down on their body. This is a realization you will not forget.
Throughout the six proofs and four evidence test cases, I have purposely steered clear of any discussion of emotional content. I am a programmer. As such, I deal with facts and logic. Emotional content does not enter into my sphere of thinking.
As it is with this theory. The theory maintains a strict adherence to facts, logic, and reason - just like programming. In this section - the last section - I diverge from logic to engage in some emotional thinking. During the following sections, I endeavor to explain what afterlife will "feel" like. I cannot, with any assurance, say what afterlife will feel like because I have never experienced NDE. What I can do, however, is look up the emotional content from those that have seen it. These first-hand accounts offer deeply moving and factual experiences that expose what it feels like to be near death. Many people who have experienced near-death moments report life-changing transformations, often finding a renewed sense of purpose and a deeper connection to a higher realm of existence. In the following section, we will show what was felt and said by people who were close enough to death to catch a glimpse of it.
Why would someone who is near death not want to come back?
Could it be they have found something better?
The feeling of not wanting to come back during a near-death experience (NDE) is often described as an overwhelming sense of peace, love, and belonging. Many people who have had NDEs report feeling like they have found a place of ultimate comfort, connection, and pure consciousness. They feel as though the weight of life's struggles and fears simply dissolves.
People often say it feels like home - like they're surrounded by an unconditional love that surpasses anything they've felt on Earth. There is no pain, no judgment, just pure acceptance and an intense sense of unity with everything around them. For many, it feels like liberation from the limitations of the physical body. They feel as though they've transcended into a state of pure awareness or consciousness.
Because of these feelings, coming back to life can feel like a forced return to something less serene. Some people describe a reluctance to return, almost like they're being pulled back into a chaotic or painful existence, which can make them feel bittersweet about leaving the peace they experienced. This experience often changes people's perspectives on life and death, leading to shifts in values, priorities, or spirituality. This reluctance to come back to life raises deep questions about the nature of consciousness and human existence.
Despite the deep reluctance many individuals feel during an NDE, most return because they are told they have more to accomplish, because of their love for those they left behind, or simply because their return is not within their control. Those who do return often describe their NDE as a life-changing event, shifting their priorities, beliefs, and perspectives on death. Many lose their fear of dying and develop a renewed sense of purpose, valuing love, kindness, and the present moment more than ever.
The reluctance to return during an NDE is not necessarily a rejection of life but rather an embrace of something beyond human understanding - something so beautiful, peaceful, and freeing that it defies words. These NDE experiences invite us to reconsider what truly matters in life.
Near-death experiences (NDEs) have been widely documented across different cultures and belief systems, often sharing common themes such as encounters with a bright light, a sense of peace, and an overwhelming feeling of love. Many individuals who experience NDEs describe reaching a state so profoundly beautiful and fulfilling that they do not want to return to their physical bodies. This reluctance to come back to life raises deep existential and spiritual questions about the nature of consciousness, the afterlife, and human existence. Here are some common reasons why people may not want to return from an NDE. These first-hand accounts are the most accurate facts we have to learn what people were "feeling" when they were close to death.
1. Overwhelming Sense of Peace and Love
One of the most frequently reported aspects of NDEs is the feeling of indescribable peace and unconditional love. Many people describe a sensation of being enveloped in a warmth that surpasses any human experience.[1] This state is often described as pure bliss, free from pain, fear, or suffering. In contrast, life on Earth is filled with challenges, struggles, and uncertainty. Faced with the choice to return to a world of suffering or remain in a state of unconditional peace, it is understandable why many would prefer to stay.
2. Freedom from Physical Pain and Suffering
Many people who undergo NDEs are suffering from severe illness, trauma, or injury at the time of their experience. When they momentarily leave their physical bodies, they often report feeling completely free from pain.[2] This liberation can be so profound that the thought of returning to a body that is fragile, sick, or broken becomes deeply undesirable. The contrast between an existence unburdened by pain and the struggles of the physical world can make the choice to return feel like an unwanted obligation.
3. A Profound Sense of Homecoming
A common theme among NDE accounts is the feeling of returning "home" - a place that feels more real and familiar than life on Earth.[3] Some describe this as a realm of pure consciousness, while others interpret it through the lens of their religious or spiritual beliefs, such as heaven or the afterlife. The sense of belonging in this state often leads people to feel as if they have reconnected with their true essence. If this existence feels more natural and welcoming than their earthly life, the idea of returning to the physical world may feel unnecessary or even unappealing.
4. Reunion with Deceased Loved Ones
Many individuals who have had an NDE report encountering deceased relatives, friends, or spiritual beings. These encounters often feel deeply personal and comforting, with the presence of loved ones reinforcing the idea that they are in a place of eternal connection.[4] Seeing deceased loved ones in a joyful state can create a powerful emotional pull, making it difficult to leave. Some individuals even report that their loved ones communicate that it is "not their time" and gently encourage them to return, which can be a moment of emotional conflict.
5. Experiencing a Higher Consciousness or Universal Knowledge
Some NDE survivors report encountering a state of heightened awareness or access to a universal knowledge that transcends human understanding.[5] They describe seeing the interconnectedness of all things, gaining insights into their life's purpose, or experiencing a profound sense of unity with the universe. In contrast to the limitations of the human mind and the fragmented nature of daily existence, this boundless awareness can be deeply compelling. The idea of returning to a more restricted form of consciousness may feel like a loss of wisdom or connection.
6. Detachment from Earthly Concerns
While life is filled with responsibilities, worries, and attachments, many NDE accounts describe a complete detachment from worldly concerns.[6] The stresses of financial struggles, social pressures, and even personal relationships seem insignificant in the face of the deep peace they experience. This detachment can lead people to feel that returning to their former lives means re-entering a world of struggle, distractions, and suffering, which they no longer see as necessary or meaningful.
7. Perception of Time as an Illusion
Many people who have NDEs report that time does not exist in the same way as it does on Earth.[7] In this altered state, they often feel as though they have existed in that space for an eternity, even if their NDE lasted only a few minutes in real-time. This perception of timelessness can contribute to the reluctance to return, as individuals feel they have already transcended the human experience and do not need to re-enter the constraints of linear time.
8. A Feeling of Completion or Fulfillment
Some people who experience NDEs report feeling as though their journey is complete, even if they have unfinished business in the physical world.[8] They may have a sense that their true purpose has already been fulfilled, or they may feel an overwhelming sense of acceptance regarding their life. This feeling of wholeness and contentment can lead to resistance to returning, as they do not see a compelling reason to continue their earthly existence.
Conclusion: A Transformative Return from NDE
Despite the deep reluctance many individuals feel during an NDE, most return because they are told they have more to accomplish, because of their love for those they left behind, or simply because their return is not within their control. Those who do return often describe their NDE as a life-changing event, shifting their priorities, beliefs, and perspectives on death.[9] Many lose their fear of dying and develop a renewed sense of purpose, valuing love, kindness, and the present moment more than ever.
The reluctance to return during an NDE is not a rejection of life. On the contrary, it is an embrace of something beyond human understanding - something so beautiful, peaceful, and freeing that it defies words. These NDE experiences challenge our perception of reality. They open our eyes to how beautiful afterlife will be. The creation of an afterlife is what truly matters in life. Those who have seen NDE and chosen to return to talk about it, tell us how wonderful it will be.
In this section, I want to look at the accounts of three people. Two of them I knew personally. The third is the famous Steve Jobs. What is extraordinary about these accounts is that they occurred at the precise moment of their death. Both Keith and Steve were able to say only a few words at the moment they crossed over. In both cases, what they saw (and described) was not a shutting down of life. It was the opposite. What they saw, indicated by their last words, was a dramatic opening of life. We can tell by their last words that what they saw surprised them, and it was good. In both cases, their words were uplifting, indicative of a positive experience. They saw something good. That is apparent by their reaction.
One: The Last Words of Keith, "I'm Having Fun"
My good friend Keith knew afterlife like I do. We're old now. I'm over 70 and Keith has passed away. He had a good idea of what happens at the end of life. He too had experienced OBE so he knew what to expect at the end of life. I recently read his obituary. It said that his last words were, "I'm having fun."
There are a lot of terms one could use to describe the afterlife and the word "fun" probably wouldn't be one of them. But who am I to question it? Here he was, at the end of his life, looking forward to what will happen next. At the very last instant, when the mind opens up, he utters the words, "I am having fun." That pretty much says it all. The words he used to describe his situation perfectly. We tend to get caught up in grandeur and magnificence. We tend to forget about the obvious. He stated his situation clearly. Just as his mind expanded to space-time he said the word fun, then moved on. Keith said a profound statement for the entire world to behold. Of all the words he could have chosen, he described his experience as having fun.
Can it be that simple? Keith was a believer in Proof of Afterlife and he had a good idea of what was coming. In typical Keith fashion, he explained what he was feeling perfectly. To be into the dimensional change, yet still be able to communicate, is an incredibly small window. It can't be more than a moment or two. Yet he was able to tell us what he was feeling at that moment. We now have his feelings for all the world to know. If you ask me to describe what afterlife will be like in a single word, I have to go with my good and trusted friend. The word that Keith chose to best describe afterlife is the word "fun."
Two: The Last Words of Steve Jobs, "Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow."
Steve Jobs, the visionary co-founder of Apple Inc., was known for revolutionizing personal computing, digital entertainment, and mobile technology. His innovations changed the way people interact with technology, leaving a profound impact on the world. However, beyond his technological achievements, Jobs was also known for his deep interest in philosophy, spirituality, and the meaning of life. As he lay on his deathbed, his final words, according to his sister Mona Simpson, were: "Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow."[10]
These simple yet profound words have sparked much speculation regarding their meaning. Steve had experienced OBE during his lifetime. His words reflected a moment of spiritual realization. They were an expression of awe at what he saw in his final moments. Steve Jobs' last words invite a reflection on themes of spirituality, the afterlife, and the nature of human existence. What he saw awed him.
Given his background, Steve Jobs' last words were an expression of a profound spiritual experience. In many accounts of near-death experiences (NDEs), individuals describe a sense of awe and wonder, often accompanied by visions of light, unity, or a higher state of consciousness.[11] Jobs' exclamation of "Oh wow" - repeated three times - suggest that he was witnessing something extraordinary as he transitioned from life to death.
One of the most intriguing aspects of Jobs' last words is their open-ended nature. Death is an experience that remains largely unknown to the living, and many people have pondered what, if anything, lies beyond it. His words might suggest that he was encountering something beyond human comprehension. This notion aligns with reports from hospice workers and medical professionals who have observed similar exclamations from individuals nearing death.[12] Many dying patients express amazement, and joy, or even communicate with unseen entities before passing away. Jobs' words may have been his response to a vision or experience that was beyond explanation.
Steve Jobs' last words remain open to interpretation, but they provide a powerful glimpse into the profound nature of the dying experience. Whether they reflect a spiritual realization, a moment of reflection, or simply the body's response to death, they leave us with a sense of mystery and wonder. Ultimately, Jobs' life was defined by innovation, vision, and an unrelenting pursuit of excellence. His final words, simple yet profound, serve as a reminder that even the greatest minds are humbled by the mysteries of life and death. As we reflect on his legacy, we are left with the same sense of curiosity that he embodied throughout his career- an enduring desire to explore, discover, and understand the unknown.
Three: Eddie the Singer, the Life of the Party
I recently lost a close friend. There was no one that I've known longer or closer. He brought me much joy over the years. It wasn't just me. Eddie spread joy and happiness everywhere he went. He had hundreds, if not thousands of friends. Everyone liked and felt close to Eddie. He was everyone's friend.
Eddie placed a high value on friendship, happiness, and having a good time. He wasn't motivated by money particularly. If it was a choice between making money or having a good time, the good time won out every time. And who's to say he was wrong? Eddie gathered thousands of wonderful memories over the years.
Eddie was the funniest individual I have ever known. In high school, he was the fastest runner and swimmer in the city. He was voted best dancer and best singer. Eddie acted in plays and sang in talent shows. He was the life of the party, time and time again. He made everyone laugh, sing, and have a good time. He was the most popular kid in high school. Everyone liked Eddie.
Eddie was a success at providing happiness. He elevated happiness in every group he was in. When Eddie was around, it was always fun. Late in life, he ran into difficulty with his health. One by one the things he loved most were taken away. First, cancer took away his taste and he loved food. Then it took away his ability to sing. Finally, it made it hard for him to talk.
No matter how bad things got, he was stoic and never lost his sense of humor. Up until the end, he was still joking - through text messages - because that was all he had left. Finally, after a major operation that failed to stop the cancer, Eddie closed his eyes for the last time.
Do you know what happened next?
He opened them again and found himself among his thousands of friends. All the parties he had elevated into a great time for all, came to him at once. There was nothing Eddie liked more than laughing amongst friends. Rather than merely experiencing love, joy, and fun from one party, he was experiencing love from them all. If you take the happiness level that Eddie experienced from a single party and multiply it by one thousand times, you get some idea of what his afterlife will be like.
When the mind expands in time and space, you gain the ability to be everywhere at the same time. Being everywhere at once gives Eddie the ability to be in all the parties he enjoyed over a lifetime at the same time. It gives him the ability for this happiness level to skyrocket. We cannot begin to comprehend the happiness felt. The happiness of this magnitude is beyond the human experience.
A lot of people thought Eddie's importance placed on having a good time was crazy. Yea, crazy like a fox! He just quietly went about collecting all his memories over 70 years. He routinely eschewed the trappings of a corporate job and opted instead to be happy and funny at gatherings with close friends. It was as if he knew ahead of time that his concept of life was better. He gathered up all these great moments. Then, in the end, all these happy moments came to him at once. Eddie is having fun, feeling closeness, and camaraderie with all his numerous friends. He is enjoying permanent happiness at a super high level, hard-earned over a life well lived. Afterlife is the reward we all long for. Afterlife will be better than anything we can imagine. Just like Eddie, it is the fulfillment of everything we want and need, only thousands of times better than anything we could have imagined.
The competition on the Internet - search engines, social media, and artificial intelligence - for the search term "proof of afterlife" is fierce. There are thousands of websites, books, and videos all claiming the have the definitive answer to what happens at the end of life.
Many have their basis in NDE or OBE. These are the good ones. But they are offering evidence for afterlife, not proof. Are they good at offering evidence of the afterlife? Yes, they are. And in effect, that may be good enough.
Here we offer proof of afterlife. This is not something new. The theory was first put forward in 1970, on typewritten pages. In 1981, it was the topic of a graduate thesis. In 2009, it was granted a copyright from the US Copyright Office. It was been on the Internet, under the domain name "Proof of Afterlife" since that time.
The underlying proof is not difficult to understand. It states that memory captures each moment of life and retains it. Then, at the last moment of life memory is revealed to you as a realm of time and space. Awareness expands from a point to unbounded time and space. This realm of knowledge, commonly referred to as the Kingdom of Heaven, exists independent of the physical world. The mathematical explanation is that awareness is a single point the moment before death. It transitions to unbounded space and time at death. It never moves forward in time. It stops at the last moment, however the last moment contains all physical space and time, due to memory. The theory is correct. The evidence supports it fully. There is simply nothing else like it. I've looked everywhere on the Internet. It is simply not there.
I hope that artificial intelligence will become smart enough to look at a website and ascertain that it is proof in a mathematical sense. In other words, work out the math and check its validity. If it could, it would know this theory is correct. I am not young anymore. I am worried that we will never be heard during my lifetime. If not, this theory will pass through the Internet like a comet across the sky, never to be seen again. Sadly, the odds of "being discovered" are less than half. That would be tragic. The world had the proof of afterlife on the Internet for 25 years and failed to recognize it. The theory is good, simple, and easy to understand. It is also bulletproof. Unless something happens within the next few years, like links and posts, that is what will happen. That is too bad.
But I'm happy because I did my job. When I was seventeen, I was tapped on the shoulder and given the responsibility to teach everyone about afterlife. That was not an easy task, but I accepted my responsibility. I started on a typewriter. To this day, I have never had many people take what I have to say seriously. But I kept at it. I'm happy with what I've done here. There are six theories and four evidence cases. They are all developed fully and in a readable state. My job is to present the material. I've done that to the best of my ability. I have written the theories and augmented them with illustrations. I've tried to make this as understandable as possible. I think I achieved that goal. I'm proud of what is presented here.
I do not have clairvoyance when it comes to afterlife. I know the pieces of awareness and memory lock up as perfect inverses. I know basically what lies ahead. I am reluctant to provide advice, however, I do know that afterlife is eternal and life is temporary. The safest way to play it is to pay attention to afterlife first, then life second. In living life, we are building a universe that we will take with us at the end. Life's purpose is to build the universe. What you want to do is make this universe as good as you can make it. Make your environment as nice as you can because it is eternal. After having read this material you know now that afterlife does exist and it is made up of memory - everything you have ever experienced. You are in control of what goes into your memory. Make it as good as you possibly can. But don't worry too much about being perfect. You don't have to be. No matter what you do you will be taken care of. You are in good hands. The future is lovingly bright, no matter what happens.
