Do you think consciousness is eternal – even though it dies in individuals?

May 012012

Question by uncertain: Do you think consciousness is eternal – even though it dies in individuals?
In a completely naturalistic universe, can you explain a way that consciousness could be eternal?

Even if you disagree with it, what is the name of such a belief? (it does not involve supernatural beings at all)

What are the names of famous people who subscribe to such a belief?

Do you think it is a plausible possibility?

Hello,
There is no completely naturalistic universe, just the universe.
I do not study the beliefs of famous people, so I cannot help you with that.
I believe our consciousness will proceed beyond our mortal lives, and be examined for correction in another plane of reality,(also part of the universe, just an unwitnessed part but we, the living), and although we may or may not return to a physical existence to learn more lessons, we will not forget the parts of us that are now living.
