it just does not make much sense to me to still have consciousness after one is dead.

I would assume you would agree that the brain is what controlls consciousness.
Well, the point is that the brain does not necessarily control consciousness, if your consciousness continues after death.

The best model I can come up with for how the soul/brain interface would work, is this:

During life, the soul is constrained by the brain.


I am not saying that is true - I am just saying that if we are trying to imagine how consciousness could be both a part of the brain, and separate from it as well, that would be the best model that I can figure.

When you are tripping, do you ever gather veridical information?
