some people say that your consciousness is eternal but as far as i'm concerned theres no proof of that and imo our consciousness is caused by electrical impulses in our brains...
its one thing to saya that energy cannot be created or destroyed but will always be converted to one form or another but how do we know for certain that that applies to an individual's consciousness?

We don't know. But if we currently knew the answers to these questions (such as whether or not we're eternal), what would be the point of living now?
If you think, "When I die, there will be nothing and I'll ceace to perceive anything", then what's the point of this current experience in the end?
Conversely, if you think, "When I die it doesn't matter, because I exist eternally", then again, what's the point of this current experience in the end?
The mystery and wonder that this proposes to our imaginations is one of the key factors that keeps us going. After all, not a single one of us truly knows whether or not we are the only essence that really exists... or at the same time, if you really exist at all.

why does there have to be a point or purpose?

it doesn't have to be but we form a purpose to continue
otherwise whats the point of existence and working for the future as it would irrelevant
