I have no idea what you two are talking about. Consciousness is a strange phenomenon as it is without needless speculation about its metaphysics.
I absolutely feel that I am my body. Yes, if you cut off your hand, it is no longer you. Right. Because you are not in a body, you are a body.
As far as time being non-existent outside of your mental processes, it's really just absurd when you think about it since you know, you had a beginning, and there were causes before you that led to your existence. The nature of time may not be exactly as we perceive it at any given moment (there I go again), but to say time may not exist is about as unintelligible a statement as I can imagine.
