We can consider anything I suspect, But this is our problem and perhaps the main reason communication seems to be really hard on this subject, putting personal opinions and feelings to one side, is there a good reason to say there is an immaterial portion of a person that exists outside of the mind, or indeed in the mind?
I don't think there is a good reason to say there is an immaterial portion of a person that exists outside of the mind; rather, I think there's good reason not to be as confident there isn't. I think that, if there is, it requires a type of thinking that is very divorced from the way we currently evaluate our material universe. I don't know much beyond that.
