The End of Remembering

 

The End of Remembering

 

All those who remember my birth are dead.

 

Death is the end of remembering.

The brain dies without oxygen in about four minutes.

 

What happens during those final four minutes?

Are we guest shadows on ghost shows?

Do we burn in eternal hell or reap a heavenly reward.

 

Was Stephan Hawking’s brain correct?

All this is myth.

There is no afterlife.

 

The brain dies without oxygen in about four minutes.

Death is the end of remembering.

 

All those who remember my birth are dead.
