I like every single thing element said on this page. That's a great link Aloka-D. I'm a non-dualist. I see no reason to believe that consciousness can exist independently from the brain. When someone gets brain damage we clearly see their consciousness change and when someone dies we see their consciousness come to an end of sorts. You could say well we don't know if their consciousness is manifesting itself in some way we can't perceive but that's just useless speculation.
