Many people will argue that consciousness is just a byproduct of evolution and that it is simply an emergent property of brain activity. However there have been many studies going back over the last hundred years that investigate it near death experiences or NDEs where the person is clinically dead with no brain activity then are brought back to life minutes later only to recall experiences in the operating room experiences of heaven and hell and much more. 

There is much more to talk about however I just wanted to use this post as a placeholder to upload this article of such a study by Dutch cardiologist, Pim Van Lommel, since the TikToker Tupac420 was having issues finding it.

This is the landmark, multi-hospital study (from 1988–1992, including 344 patients) that first documented NDEs in a systematic, scientific way was published in The Lancent in 2001 and remains one of the most widely cited studies on NDEs to this day. 

I also went above and beyond by giving 2 more articles by him that were published later.
