Robert Lantz, a leading US researcher, recently stated that death does not exist, human consciousness does not die with the body, but ends up in a parallel universe.
Lanza teaches at Wake Forest University in North Carolina, is chief scientific officer of the biotechnology company ACT, and is an expert in regenerative medicine.
Previously, the professor became famous for his research work with stem cells, and also conducted several successful experiments in cloning endangered animal species.
A couple of years ago, the scientist became interested in quantum mechanics, physics and astrophysics, as a result of which the professor began to spread the theory of biocentrism.
According to this theory, death does not exist as such, it is just an illusion that arises in the human mind. Death in our usual understanding occurs because a person closely associates himself with his body, which will eventually die, and with the body, everything else. But in reality, human consciousness exists regardless of time or space, it can be anywhere, both in the human body and outside of it. This theory is intertwined with quantum mechanics, according to which a single particle can be anywhere, and a certain event has an infinite number of development options.
The specialist made a statement regarding the parallel world after studying several interesting facts regarding reincarnation (transmigration of the soul).
It is worth noting that the basis of such a migration is the degeneration of the entire organism.
As Robert Lanza stated, during his experiments he was able to establish an unusual pattern. After death, a person enters another reality. For comparison, the expert used a metaphor with a flower - which fades and withers, in order to be reborn later. The soul of a person also fades after death, and after some time is reborn again.
This conclusion is based on laboratory experiments in the field of biocentrism, during which the specialist studied the tunnel effect, when particles overcome barriers. It was this theory that prompted Lanz to the idea that death is just an illusion.
The professor is sure that we are surrounded by thousands of universes, in which all sorts of versions of events are taking place. In one world, the body has died, but in another it continues to live, having absorbed the consciousness that leaked from another world.
In other words, human consciousness after the death of the physical shell, bypassing the tunnel, ends up in the same world, but alive, and this is repeated an infinite number of times.
Consciousness, according to the researcher, is energy, it does not disappear and cannot be destroyed.
Some biocentrists believe that the material world that surrounds us is just an imaginary image that our consciousness reproduces, others believe that the world around us exists, but we see it as our senses allow us to see and feel it, and if a person had other senses, then the perception of the world would be different.
Robert Lanza holds more moderate views, he believes in the reality that surrounds us, but considers it impossible without the participation of consciousness, i.e. man is both an observer and a creator.
