So in the "our brain is like a computer" comparison, is our brain the hard drive? If you remove the power source for a computer, the information still remains, no?

For me (and this is no argument for existence of heaven or the like), if there can be a way that we end up more or less 'trapped" in our mind (I liked the idea of time slowing down to become infinite as perceived by a dying person), the CONCEPT of a heaven or hell isn't out the window. As an actual place that people go to hang out with Jimi Hendrix and dead family members no. But if you can enterain the idea above, it makes sense to me that a person who was a tortured or bad person during their life would end up trapped in a sort of hell of their mind. Conversely, if you were a good person who was at peace when you died, you could be trapped in a very tranquil place. I don't think you have to believe in a kingdom in the sky, or a burning torture chamber in the centre of the earth to at least entertain metaphysical ideas of heaven, hell, nirvana, etc..
