Answered.
I give you top marks for your effort but unfortunately i have to give low marks for you lack of understanding how the system works.
But let us see in details.
The first part make sense as our consciousness is connected to the brain in such a way that consciousness
could not work without the brain.
(1)That however doesn't mean that once our body die our consciousness can not take over and work even better as NDEs show us.
But let us come to the core of the question which you are not analyze at all.
(2)This universe although very very big is finite.
The reality of positive and negative prevent the real progress and therefore prevent us from merging into the infinity.
So by trying to understand infinity in a physical way is impossible.
But progress toward the infinity is possible because human being are not only made of flesh.
(3)The conscious mind if trained properly can reach the infinity and merge into it.
(3)There is only one consciousness but this consciousness is divided into two parts.
(4)It is like the iceberg.
The iceberg is one but there is the part above the water and the part below.
(3)Consciousness works in the same way.
(3)Most people think that the mind which by the way is not even the conscious is all we have
without realizing that below this known or emerged consciousness there is a bigger consciousness.
So to summarize we can say that we can not understand what is not physical using the little consciousness that is mainly connected to our physical side but it is possible to understand by
using the big chunk (so to speak) that lie in our subconscious.
(1)Baseless claim. Regarding NDEs, this is pretty interesting read: https://sciencebasedlife.wordpress.com/2...after-all/
(2)An interesting read regarding infinities: https://plus.maths.org/content/does-infinity-exist
(3)Baseless claims
(4)That's a false analogy
Boring night.
