> >  > Human consciousness is also just a process. It doesn&apos;t not have any "persistence", the way a lump of flesh like the human brain has. Consciousness is something that comes and goes, even while we&apos;re awake! It depends on the human brain as its substrate, but it does not have a continuous existence. Without the activity of the human brain to keep it going, it simply fades out of existence, even while we&apos;re alive. When we fall asleep, it goes away. It has no existence outside of process.-I have a problem with your statement that consciousness stops with sleep. Are dreams consciousness in some form? How about out-of-body experiences under anesthesia? In sleep apnea EEG studies, there is cortical activity, the source of consciousness in your formulation.->  > Yet those who believe in immortality probably believe that consciousness lives on after death.-There are many near to death (NDE) reports from patients who learn of other persons&apos;  deaths by communication with persons on the &apos;other side&apos;. These are verified third person observations, especially in hospice situations.The patient had no other souce of inforation except from the NDE.
