Are you attempting to postulate that consciousness is separate from the body/brain?

Ugh please... This thread is about as low as human intelligence can get. Even if there were fifteen-hundred thousand different dimensions, we'd be equally existing in every single one of them. What this kid is talking about is a higher plane of existence and confusing that with dimensional physics which he appears to be basing his whole crackpot theory off of which makes the whole thing bunk and ridiculous. Please people, I beg you learn something for a change... idk if I can handle looking at another remarkable feat of human stupidity. I think I might need a break from this place.

I understand the OP 'thinks' it's testable, but the idea itself isn't advancement in understanding anything at all really.
If the OP would just answer the question I asked about consciousness, then I could explain something, but the OP doesn't want to state what their idea of consciousness is.
Consciousness is just another way of saying self-aware.
I understand some people confuse it to mean the mind or the mind plus intelligence, but that is not what consciousness is.
A species capacity for being self-aware of itself and it's surrounding is not going to change or shift, for that to occur a lot of physical things need to take place other than wishing really hard we can shift our ability to be 'more self-aware'.
I truly am all for scientific exploration and advancement, but misusing or misunderstanding something to explore an idea born from that misunderstanding is not scientific or advancing anything at all except the misunderstanding of the terminology at hand.
If the OP is trying to postulate that consciousness or a living things capacity for self-awareness is some how variable or able to 'shift', then the idea is just wrong for many reasons and the OP needs to look into why I am saying that rather than getting all upset because someone said they were wrong. If the OP doesn't feel like learning anything, then I'll be more than happy to post a few links to help the OP start out on learning what consciousness is and what it is not.
All over the world right now people are celebrating Divali.
It is a significant festival in Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Jainism
Divali or Deepavali is the Festival of Lights. Light over Darkness!
So I'd like to now convey this symbolic gesture and transmission of
Light over Darkness to you.
When Darkness enters your life know that there is ALWAYS Light
to Illuminate the Shadows.
That the Source of All Things WILL find ways to Shed Light for You.
That you are not alone on your journey in this physical existence.
etc etc
...to the OP: Give us some predictions, concrete and specific. Then we'll find out whether it's right or not.
sirnex: i DID answer your question about consciousness. but it was a long and convoluted answer, and so you may have missed it. short answer: raw consciousness exists in the form of "quantum fields" (x,y,z axis baselines). personalized consciousness is manifested in space-time in the manner suggested by the OP, IN THE BRAIN.
the baseline of each of the axis in the model (space - time - density) represent a type of quantum field. although, strictly speaking, the quantum field as an acceptable scientific term is found only in the space domain (x axis).
nevertheless, each of these axis-baselines behave in a similar way. because of their similarities, it would be acceptable to merge each of them into a single domain and redraw the model from that perspective. understood as a single domain, they represent raw consciousness. (my color drawings, about halfway down the first page, show a merged version of the model.)

Thats all you need to know in progression of conciousness.
as for proving any of it: in due time. i am not avoiding the issue at all, and i completely understand what must be done.
i am using these concepts as the backbone of my biotechnology thesis (i am a BS Biotechnology), so the more intricate details will all be hashed out and posted here as they develop.
