Consciousness: Is it seperate from the human body?
#91
RE: Consciousness: Is it seperate from the human body?
"Consciousness is incorporeal" seems far too presumptuous unless you're of the wholly unconvincing and unsubstantiated opinion that consciousness consists of an "ectoplasmic"-like quality that can pass through walls while maintaining the appearance of a body, or in this case, skulls. More mysteriously, however, is the utter lack of convincing evidence for such a substance despite the enthusiasm of paranormal researchers, and quite astonishing to say the least, the wealth of experiments that suggest a strong correlation between altered physical states and experiences in consciousness. It seems that consciousness is very much corporeal, though the first-person perspective contains within it private sensations and illusory images.
