I can have faith in a person, based on my past experiences with them. If they've always shown they know what they are doing in some regard, I'll have faith in them that they'll continue to be good at that particular thing. If, however, I witness them fouling it up, causing chaos and getting awful results, I would have no faith in them in the future.

Faith has different meanings in different contexts.

I have faith that the sun will rise tomorrow. It's due to several factors, including:

A clear, consistent track record of the sun rising.
My understanding of the composition of the sun, and how its mass affects gravity.
My understanding of the earth, and how it rotates on its axis.

Similarly, my faith in certain people is due to:

What I've learned about their character.
Their past actions.
Etc.

An atheist's faith is really a comment on probability. Because of a combination of knowledge and past experiences with verifiable phenomena (it's uncontroversial to state that the sun, the earth, my family and friends all exist), we extrapolate what is likely to happen in the future. It's wholly different than religious faith, which isn't substantially different than wish-casting in the face of personal incredulity.

Seems to me like believers believe in the unknowable. And I don't just mean unknowable in any sense, even relatively, not just absolute knowledge. If something happens after we die there is no way of us possibly knowing while we're still alive.

And if our brain dies but some part of us lives on... is that really 'us' if our whole personality and all our memories have disintegrated? If we have past lives are they really 'our' lives if we have no memory of them? Similar sort of thing to me.

So it all comes down to a reverse of the burden of proof. And a whole "You can't prove God doesn't exist" thing. Well of course we can't, because God is defined in such a way that his existence and nonexistence seem to be exactly identical.

The only way to understand this point is to understand how evolution works which is something that you badly lack.
Matter is the last stage of creation and the first stage of evolution.
It goes in circle.
From pure consciousness to mind, space, air, light-energy, water and finally to matter.
Once the creation reach the bottom and turn into matter the evolution start in order to bring that now latent consciousness back to pure consciousness and to where all started from.
Why all this should be proven right by physical science?
Physical science is called such because she study physical phenomenon not what evolution in consciousness is all about so no if you expect any physical evidence you will not get any but if you engage in intuitional science you will.   

That's some interesting speculation.  So I take it that you're now admitting that you have no evidence that vibrations are alive, and it's just dogma.

So, no, you didn't answer everything. But let's deal with what you did answer (below).

This is unsatisfactory for several reasons:
1) It's not clear that consciousness "leaves the body" in an OBE, both for reasons discussed and some not (see quote below for example);
2) Even if consciousness is displaced during an OBE, it's not clear that the relationship between consciousness and the body has in any significant sense been disrupted or ended by that displacement. In particular, you claim both that consciousness is not physical and that it resides in the pineal gland. What it means for something that is not physical to have a location I'll leave up to you, but regardless, from the putative position in the pineal gland, consciousness is not directly in contact with sufficient nerves to control the body, so according to your view, we are constantly "remotely controlling" the body/brain anyhow, so what does the actual distance matter?
3) It's not clear in what sense consciousness does constitute the "you," nor is it true that an absence of consciousness equals death. We go to sleep each night without "dying";
4) As you can determine by looking up the relevant definitions, death is a permanent condition, not merely a transitory change in the relationship of one or more of a living organism's systems. In particular, death entails the continuous loss of homeostasis, which is of particular note as the cells in the brain and the brain itself maintains relative homeostasis even in the absence of blood and oxygen for a considerable time. At the very least, irretrievable loss of functional homeostasis does not occur.

So for these and undoubtedly other reasons, you are wrong in claiming that an OBE during an NDE is evidence that the person has died and is at that time "dead."

Quote:OBErs who do not lose consciousness before their experiences often report watching their bodies continue to perform coordinated actions—as if they were still in control of their bodies—while nevertheless apparently viewing them from above. Recalling an OBE while on patrol for the first time, chasing an armed suspect, a police officer reported:

I promptly went out of my body and up into the air maybe 20 feet above the scene. I remained there, extremely calm, while I watched the entire procedure—including watching myself do exactly what I had been trained to do (Alvarado 183).

After the suspect had been restrained and the danger was over, the officer returned to normal consciousness. Another OBEr, who had been running for over 12 miles training for a marathon, reported:

I felt as if something was leaving my body, and although I was still running along looking at the scenery, I was looking at myself running as well (184).

This ability to simultaneously 'hover' above the scene and continue to function as if 'in' the body strongly suggests the hallucinatory nature of these experiences. In some sleep disorders, for instance, subjects are able to exhibit "directed" behavior—e.g., sleepwalking and sleep eating—even though they are evidently not normally conscious. Taking on an extraordinary new perspective while functioning normally otherwise makes much more sense if such experiences are occurring 'in' the body all along, rather than in some remote discarnate entity detached from the physical body.

Hallucinatory Near-Death Experiences

Regardless of whether one accepts the author's interpretation of hallucination or not, it's evident that merely experiencing oneself as being conscious and viewing things from a perspective outside the body does not necessarily entail that consciousness is not still in contact with the body, still in control, and that life continues on more or less as normal, ignoring the specific weirdness of the perspective.

No, I don't believe that I will be doing that, and I'll tell you why. I have presented the reasons multiple times in the past and with each time, you simply dismissed the evidence without providing specific logical reasons for doing so. If you are not going to actually engage with the material, I see no point in having the discussion. Beyond that, it's really irrelevant, as I have never maintained that the evidence for the brain based nature of consciousness is conclusive, so that would make the discussion even more pointless given your ostensible goals. What is worth noting, however, is that you have repeatedly maintained that you have conclusive reasons for believing that consciousness transcends the body. Your dogmatic adherence to certain beliefs has been the main point or points of contention, and that is the main matter before us.

Beyond that, it's clear from arguing with you these many months that it is a favorite tactic of yours to deflect from scrutiny of your beliefs and worldview by changing the subject and making the subject about the other person's beliefs and worldview. Since we have an important question at issue here, I'd just as soon we finish with that before we turn our attention to other matters (if at all). In this thread and the evolution thread, you have continued to maintain that your beliefs are not dogma, and moreover that they have the backing of science. You've utterly failed at the latter claim, and your reasons for the former have so far been shown to be without basis. Instead, what has become apparent is that your worldview in general, and specifically the evolution of consciousness, are beliefs that are built upon dogma and articles of faith conscerning the value and efficacy of intuitional science. If you're willing to concede that "how the system works" according to you and yoga is a matter of dogma and faith, rather than reasons and evidence, then we can rest on that and perhaps turn to other matters. Otherwise I suggest you get busy and start providing some actual reasons and evidence for the four propositions discussed earlier. (Repeated here for your convenience.)

Let us deal a bit at the time as the page is getting full so let us now deal with these last points.

As usual you vandalize my words and that is rather evil if done on purpose or stupid if done without understanding what i said.

1) I didn't say that inanimate matter is conscious.
I rather say that matter has got consciousness or it is made of consciousness and this consciousness is in a latent form which means that matter can not be aware of who she is.

To say ............Inanimate matter is conscious.......is like to say that matter can express herself which is not the case.

2) The same goes for vibrations.

Also vibrations like everything in this universe has life in it.
Unlike matter which can not express herself because she reach the very bottom of creation vibrations express themselves with the movement and movement means life.
If on the other hand you may believe that this movement is cused by the creator then you can well kiss goodby to all atheistic ideas.
In any case you fail badly.

3) Energy - consciousness are the two sides of the same sheet.
One can not exist without the other.
Also energy move so like vibrations must have life in it.
The atheist idea that some sort of energy within the universe keep the system going and going is void of any evidence while the idea that energy has life in it make 100% sense.
Physical science sooner or later will come to this conclusion.

4) Life in this universe always come from life.
This is science yog.

There is no such a thing as anything void of life.
Even matter has life in it even if it is in a latent form.
