    #164: What Happens to Consciousness When You Die? | Dan Brown's The Secret of Secrets Book Review

    Last month at the Hamburg Literature Festival, I heard Dan Brown discuss his latest novel, a thriller that explores what happens to consciousness when the body dies. But this isn't just fiction. The book weaves together real neuroscience research, declassified CIA experiments, and a theory that challenges everything we think we know about the mind. What if your brain doesn't create consciousness but just receives it? What if the reality you perceive is heavily filtered, and death simply removes that filter? And what happens when intelligence agencies try to weaponise these ideas? In this episode, I break down the science behind nonlocal consciousness theory, the GABA filter mechanism, near-death experiences, sudden savant syndrome, and the CIA's decades-long experiments with remote viewing. Whether these ideas resonate as cutting-edge science or elaborate pseudoscience, they raise questions we all face: What are we? And what happens when we die? Key concepts: Nonlocal Consciousness Theory — Consciousness as a fundamental universal element, not generated by the brain GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) — The neurotransmitter that filters reality and prevents sensory overload Cocktail Party Effect — How we hear everything but only consciously process what matters Habituation — The brain's energy-saving mechanism that ignores constant stimuli Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) — What happens when GABA levels drop to zero before death Out-of-Body Experiences (OBEs) — Consciousness detaching from physical constraints Postictal Bliss — The expanded consciousness state after epileptic seizures Retrocausality — The theory that effects can precede causes; time as non-linear Sudden Savant Syndrome — Acquiring extraordinary skills after head injuries CIA Stargate Project — The real Cold War program studying remote viewing (1970s-1990s) Threshold Project — The fictional CIA program weaponising consciousness through brain-machine interfaces H2M Interface — Human-to-Machine brain interfaces based on nanoelectric biofilaments Remote Viewing — Using consciousness to perceive distant locations Psychonauts — Test subjects whose consciousness operates at the edge of death Books Referenced: The Secret of Secrets by Dan BrownThe Lost Symbol by Dan BrownThe Doors of Perception by Aldous HuxleyThe Wreck of the Titan by Morgan Robertson (1898)Ecclesiastes (Biblical text) 📝 Read the full article: https://chiwijournal.substack.com/p/dan-brown-the-secret-of-secrets Questions to ponder What if consciousness was never contained in your body to begin with?If death is just a filter being removed, what reality would you see?Can science eliminate our fear of death? And if so, how would that change humanity?Are psychedelic experiences hallucinations, or glimpses of "more reality"?Should consciousness be studied, or is weaponising it crossing an ethical line? If this episode made you think differently about consciousness and death, please share it with someone who's ever wondered what happens when we die.

    Special Episode: My Expensive Therapy Called Portugal

    In this episode of Chiwi Journal, two AI hosts take you on a deeply personal journey across continents, from Shandong to Auckland, London to Lisbon, as they share Camellia’s story of moving 20,000 miles and confronting an invisible tiger she’d been running from her entire life: her own ambition. Together, they explore the weight of cultural expectations, the silent pressure of “neijuan”, and the bittersweet lessons Portugal taught about slowing down, letting go, and simply being human. This is a story about identity, burnout, and the quiet permission to exist without constant achievement, and maybe, it’s about finding your own way to stop running too.NOTE: This episode was created using Notebook LM to transform Camellia’s original article into a podcast-style narration.

    #161: A Letter to the Ones Who Wander in Lisbon

    You once asked me: Are you still searching for home? In this episode, I try to answer you. It’s not a guidebook to Lisbon. It’s a voice memo from a night tram. A letter from a café table. A footnote scrawled under a fado song. If you’ve ever felt like an outsider, or longed for a place that doesn’t quite exist — maybe, like me, you’ll find something in this city that gently holds your questions, without rushing to answer them.
