The brain can not possibly create that experience.
Therefore it is the consciousness.
Is that more clear now?
Yes, you are the one who said that..and if you believe it to be so.....then why do you not also suspect NDE accounts? If a brain in trouble is not to be trusted...why do you trust the experience of a brain in trouble?
"Brain in trouble says I floated out of my body."
-...........sounds legit....?
Moreover, brain in trouble, it seems..from those nde accounts, does not actually have to -be- in trouble to produce the effect. The perception of the threat is sufficient. People who are not near death, or in any danger at all...but under extreme stress make up a disproportionate amount of nde reports. Why do you believe the brain in trouble, Rik? Why do you believe the brain in trouble that;s so dumb it only -thinks- it's in trouble....that can manufacture these experiences regardless?
On an even more specific scale...why do you trust your troubled brain?
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!
