@This NDE business.
What -about- an NDE account...if true (see, huge load off..no need to prove any particular), in whatever sense it is taken to be true, would suggest that mind is independent of brain? In the sense that we percieve ourselves to be leaving our body? I don;t need to get near death to have that experience...nor do I need to leave my body. Creating projections, simulations, indirect models of sense data...is kind of what my mind/brain appears to be doing pretty much all the time. That I can place myself across the room, perceptually, isn't that much different from placing a chair across the room.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
