dhw: Sweet, but did your philosophy professor explain how you can have an inside without an outside?[/i]

DAVID: Sweet, but one of the major insights I ever received! It forms one leg of my theology. I'll ask you, have you ever seen he outside of your consciousness?

dhw: That is the essence of the problem. Materialists think that matter is the outside of consciousness – in humans, the brain. Have you ever seen consciousness that is not housed by materials?

I have stated consciousness requires a receiver.
