Dang it...

If so I think you are wasting your time. Try to take breaks from discursive thought. It leads to massive confusion if you're not careful and frankly it just isn't all that healthy in large doses.
I'm not so sure about "subjective experience", but maybe "universal subjective experience". I hate the "near-death-experience" stories. They are completely worthless to tell people, even if true (which I don't think 99.99% are...). These are totally subjective. Quantity is something that everyone experiences, so that is why I use it for my example. I really do think I can reasonably come to the conclusion that souls exist based just on the premises "quantity is not material", "we know quantity" and "the brain does not know non-material things". The argument is still subjective because "we know quantity". However, it's something that no one can disagree with. It's not an argument by majority opinion, it's actually known.
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
