This is from the GIta, which has helped answered many questions in life:
"Life is like a school, one can learn, one can graduate, one can skip a grade, as long as a debt of karma remains however, a person must keep coming back for further education. That is the basis of Samsara, the cycle of birth and death."
In profound meditation, the ancient sages found when consciousness is so acutely focused that it is utterly withdrawn from the body and mind, it enters a kind of singularity in which the sense of ego disappears, in this supreme climax of meditation, seers discovered a core of consciousness beyond time and change, they called it Atman, simply...the self.
Once identified with the self we know that although the body will die, we will not die. Our awareness of this identity is not ruptured by the death of the physical body. Then we have realized the immortality which is the essential birthright of every human being. Death is no more dramatic than taking off an old coat. Life cannot offer any more higher realization, the supreme goal of human existence has been attained. The man or woman who realized God, has everything and lacks nothing. Having this, they desire nothing else and cannot be shaken by the heaviest burden of sorrow.
The Upanishads describe dying as a very similar process to sleep. Consciousness is withdrawn from the body into the senses, from the senses into the mind and finally consolidated in the ego. When the body is finally wrenched away, the ego remains, a potent packet of desires and karma. As our last waking thoughts shape our dreams, the contents of the unconscious at the time of death, the residue of all that we have thought and desired and lived for in the past determine the context of our next life. We take a body again, the sages say, to come back to just the conditions where our desires and karma can be fulfilled."

This a fairly long quote from Terence McKenna. I think it's worth posting because he had some great insights into language:
Information is lose on planet three. Something unusual is going on here. The
world is not made of quarks, electromagnetic wave packets, or the thoughts of
God. The world is made of language. Language is replicating itself in DNA,
which, at the evolutionary apex, is creating societies of civilized beings
that posses language and machines that use languages. Earth is a place where
language has literally become alive. Language has infested matter; it is
replicating and defining and building itself. And it is in us.
My voice speaking is a monkey's mouth making little mouth noises that are carrying
agreed-upon meaning, and it is meaning that matters. Without the meaning one
has only little mouth noises. Meaning is a crude form of telepathy- as you
listen to my voice, my thoughts become your thoughts and we compare them. This
is communication, understanding, Reality is a domain of codes, and that is why
the UFO problem is like a grammatical problem- like a dangling participle in
the fourth-dimensional language that makes reality. It eludes simple
approaches because its nature is somehow embedded in the machinery of
epistemic knowing itself. -TM, Archaic Revival

Honestly... no one cares what the government knows. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say there are no big secrets...that's just part of their little con game they run: to make you believe they know something you don't, because even if it's a lie, that's still power...but if you don't buy into their bullshit, there's your freedom. Think about it. Intellectuals don't fall for this kind of crap.
No one is in control guys.. It's not the establishment, the government or the Bilderberg. The truth of the matter is far more terrifying, no one is in control. Absolutely no one. This stuff is ruled by the equations of dynamics and chaos. Now, there are entities seeking control.... the world bank, the communist party, the rich, somebody or other, but to seek control is to take enormous aggravation upon yourself, because the process that's underway will throw the control freak from the short and curly against the wall.

It's not crazy it makes complete sense. I've read dozens of books on consciousness including some ancient scriptures, and I think Vedanta, based on Hinduism makes the most sense. They say experience requires an experiencer, but if you want to get an idea of what happens after death, think about Nirvana, which in Vedanta means annihilation. There's a poem in one of the Hindu scriptures, and it goes something like this, "There's a candle that's lit with a flame, the light gets blown out, there's no more you, but you don't even know it."

I want to preface this by saying that I'm not religious so as not to scare anyone away, but the Torah (the Hebrew bible) is said to be divine. Meaning it wasn't written by man. There is a man by the name of Stan Tenen that can elaborate on this, but he explains that it's a universal artifact, so any intelligent civilization in the universe (if we're not the only one) will have the common langue of the Torah.
The actual Torah was written in the Hebrew Alphabet, which came from another dimension, as silly as that sounds. And this guy Stan Tenen demonstrates exactly how this is possible, and it has to do with the Torus (in geometry the Donut shape). The whole teaching has to do with a vessel, and in order to get into this vessel, you have to respect the vessel, we have to be part of it, and then it can open up, and what's inside is worth even more. If you're religious this might sound familiar. But they're talking about consciousness here.

Every form of government tends to parish by excess of its basic principle. Aristocricy ruins itself by limiting too narrowly the circle within which power is confined. Oligarchy ruins itself by the incautious scramble for immediate wealth. In either case, the end is revolution. When revolution comes it may seem to arise from little causes and petty whims. But though it may spring from slight occasions, it is the precipitate result of grave and accumulated wrongs.
When a body is weakened by neglected ills, the nearest exposure may bring serious disease. Then democracy comes, the poor overcome their opponents, slaughtering some and banishing the rest, and give to the people an equal share of freedom and power. But even democracy ruins itself by excess... of democracy. Its basic principle is the equal right of all to hold office and determine public policy. This is at first glance a delightful arrangement. It becomes disastrous because the people are not properly equipped by education to select the best rulers and the wisest courses.
As to the people, they have no understanding, and repeat what their rulers are pleased to tell them. To get a doctrine accepted or rejected it is only necessary to have it praised or ridiculed in a popular play. Mob rule is a rough sea for the ship of state to ride, every wind of oratory stirs up the water and deflects the course. The upshot of such a democracy is tyranny or autocracy. The crowd so loves flattery, it is so hungry for honey, that at last the wiliest and most unscrupulous flatterer, calling himself the protector of the people, rises to supreme power. Consider the history of Rome. -Plato, The Republic

@davidatkinson5858 Yeah, maybe it did increase brain size, but I personally doubt that was the case. Think about modern apes, while they do eat meat on occasion, their main diet is fruit based...three bananas equals roughly to about 300 calories, which btw is more than enough to fuel a modern human brain for a day.
This is a an assumption, but I take it there there was plenty of fruit available 2 million years ago in the lush African rainforest. But apes don't just eat three bananas, they forage all day long...so I don't know the numbers, but I'm sure they're getting in excess of 1,000 calories a day. A cooked steak gives you about 600 calories on average. So you see where I'm going here? The caloric intake from fruit/greens/raw meat vs cooked meats isn't vast enough to account for the increase in brain size, keeping in mind how many calories a modern brain is required to function effectively.

2:36...in ancient Hindu Philosophy what Sheldon is talking about here is known as Dharma - That which supports, The roots of a tree, that which supports from within, The essence of a thing, it's virtue, that which makes it what it is. It can be explained with an ancient tale. A Sage seated beside the Ganges, notices a scorpion had fallen into the water, he reaches down to rescue it, only to be stung. Sometime later he looks down and sees the scorpion thrashing about in the water again, once more he reaches down to rescue it and once more he is stung. A bystander observing all this explains, Holy one, why do you keep doing that, don't you see that the wretched creature will only sting you in return? "Of course", the Sage replied. "It is the Dharma of a scorpion to sting, but it is the dharma of a human being to save. In a bigger sense, Dharma means the essential order of things, an integrity of harmony in the universe, rightness, justice, goodness, purpose.

@rick15666 Thanks man. If you care to know where I got my username, at one point in my life I practiced astral projection, which I thought was complete nonsense until I picked up a book by Robert Monroe, did the exercises and after several months of trying I was successful, and then came up with my username.
There are several planes of existence that reside below and above us, the lower planes are dark, and the higher planes are full of light. Which leads me to your question..To be honest, my dude, my view of reality is in a constant state of transformation because I learn something new everyday, and all of the things that I learned, I picked up here and there, from this book or that video, from speaking to friends, from my own exploration through meditation, AP, and psychedelic journeys, etc...
The best advice I can give you is to explore your own mind, because therein are all the answers, and cheesy as that sounds, I find it to be completely true. One of my favorite authors, Terence McKenna always used to say, "The most richly organized material in the universe is the human cerebral cortex, and the densest and richest experience in the universe is the experience you are having right now. That is the primary datum"
