A materialist theory of life after death

Awaretheory is a materialist theory of life after death. Awaretheory does not require any type of supernatural ideas like souls or gods to produce life after death or immortality. Awaretheory states that you can consciously exist again randomly produced by nature, or you can be deliberately produced by other conscious beings by accident or on purpose. This process can be done before your presents body's birth any length of time ago or any length of time into the future after your present bod's death. But also any number of conscious versions of you can exist at the same time (itofazmultiplicity). They can be identical conscious versions of you or any number of a very large grouping of different conscious versions of you. Awaretheory is not based on the body producing a singular unique consciousness. It is based on the idea that structure and functioning of the brain produces consciousness and structure and functioning is reproducible in theory, and approximate-able in fact. There are an extremely large amount of structures and functionings that your body could produce or could have produced during its life time if conditions would have been different. Awaretheory predicts that any time any of these structures and functionings are produced in another body it will be producing a consciousness that you will experience.

There are many straw man arguments against scientific materialism being able to produce life after death and or materialism. This following statement is a very weak (and incomplete) straw man argument. So it is easy for people to use it against materialism

“I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.” – Stephen Hawking

I am not sure where this quote actually comes from but I got it from a blog so it may be totally inaccurate but it does make a statement that is easy to criticize. The first sentence is straight forward. It should say that the brain will fail when enough of the its components fail (neurons die without the whole brian dying). There is no heaven or after life for a working computer either. Computers do not seem to produce consciousness at this point in their development but computers can be fixed. If you consequently fix the brain will it then again produce consciousness? And will it produce the original's consciousness? Will it produce a consciousness that the original will experience? If you either say it will or will not what is your proof or proofs?

If a computer can be made, it can be made again? It has not gone to heaven in the remake. It is remade or repaired on earth and comes back to life or back to functioning on earth has well. Human brains are like computers in the sense that they both are material objects but computers have a different way of functioning than a brain do. They aslo have very different structures. It is possible that you can get electronic devices that can function like neurons and then connect these electronic neurons together like the brain is connected. Then you have to get the electronic brain to actually function like a human brain. This is a very different process than downloading your brain program into a super computer. Once you do get the right structure and functioning correct then the functioning of this electronic brain can be modified in the wiring and in the way individual neurons work to produce many different consciousnesses and possible different ixperiencitnesses.
