You don't get to pretend neuroscience, neurobiology and neuropsychology just don't exist. We don't know everything about the brain, but we know a metric fata-ton more than they did hundreds and thousands of years ago. And we certainly know enough to know that indeed everything you experience, feel, think, remember, etc. takes place in the central nervous system. Remove that system and you are dead. There is nothing else happening. That isn't my belief; it's a fact based on super obvious evidence that you have no right to ignore.

I haven't been indoctrinated with made-up stories. I was raised as an atheist in an atheist family and still don't follow any religion. You're making up who I am that fits your prejudices, although I find certain sages that seem to have similar experiences that I do, sometimes interesting. I found something that feels great so you can take my word for it or not. As I've said it comes from an experience within so there is no way I can back it up with external evidence and it's foolish to even try.
As for the question of this thread, I don't know because I haven't died yet but I'd like to think that god has more for me.
