Hello, hypnotica you called me lazy, but certainly i have not stoped to work since then ,anyway i see you have had time to put multiple replies just to began...
Well there are some points to clarify, first of all i feel some FANATISM in your materialistic point, you never take in account that something more than a material reaction could take place even when the facts maybe are pointing on the contrary, this is as unscientific as a fanatic religious, you want to prove your ideas not reality.
if you read my posts with melatonin (a true polite and clever skeptic) we still cannot determine true death from Near death, maybe there are no fisical diferences, certainly we have not detected theses diferences so at the moment we have a dead brain experiencing a complex process leaving no measurable activity (as melatonin had said maybe this activity is centered in other brain areas but this have not been measured, it's just a theory) but what i said is a fact. This moves me to think that maybe the experience is not taking place in the brain, this is as possible as any other possibility but you reject it directly without proof or studies on the respect.
I will say some interesting things to you, as you like scientific studies i will speak to you about scientific studies centered First in the reincarnation subject that gives SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN cases of reincarnation. This is still more hard than NDE and is proven beyound doubt. i can give you a link:
en.allexperts.com...
You are not lazy as I so im sure this will be enough to began a carefull study by you on this interesting subject.
On the other hand in the soviet union times (comunists are not specially religious people) some studies were done on the telekinetic area with surprising results:
www.whps.com...
Im sure you will read it fully because you are not lazy
Just to end i will say to you that at the moment 90% of the mass of univers is black matter, this means that something we cannot see, smell,touch or taste is around us and is the 90% of our reality, and we ignore 100% about what it is. Look the studies i have shown to you, remember that 90% of the mass around you is invisible, and began to realize that maybe your materialist view point..... is pointless.
Thousands of other studies have been discredit before can be completed, or have been personally menaced, discredited, unfunded,etc... thanks to people that DON'T WANT to belive in something more.
thanks

The question is not where the perception and feeling comes from, that comes from the brain.
The question is, what experiences the perception? Who has the feeling? Where does POV come from?
In other words, what is the entity within the brain that actually perceives the information?

Can you prove to me you exist because I can't see you or feel you what is appearing on my monitor may be only a program.
Now let me see i9f you can prove Scientific and mathematical prove your existence.
If you can prove to me you exist then you never know I might listen to your argument but some how I think you will be struggling to prove to me you have a conscious state.
You see here lies the Problem do you just believe you exist or is it just implied through a program you exist.
Take a good long look at my Avatar and see if it feels familiar to you.
But don't take my challenge personally as though I may be against you because this is Not the case.
I have only said these things to get you feeling more about things that you assume are reality.
Your world is about to change for You !!!
No it is Not I that will change it but it is yourself that is about to change everything for yourself !!!!
Let me know your feelings in a few weeks.....

All fact requires belief.
As of right now we couldn't even prove that the MIND exists.
Scientifically we are biological robots.
And as evidence begins to support the idea that the brain and mind are separate entities it still won't be definitively proven.
No evidence on this subject can prove that the "mind" and brain are different OR the same.
However, my interpretation of this evidence points in one direction. That the mind and the brain are not at all the same. The brain may be the receiver of information but what does the examination?
