> DAVID: NDE's are a form of proof that consciousness is universal. That is how the brain can formulate NDE stories while totally non-functional.

Otherwise, how would the ND-experiencer preserve his/her identity? It's interesting that ND-ers see certain people from their own world. That = individual and intersubjective consciousness, but NOT universal consciousness.-I don't think we have to go as far back as the energy of first cause unless you will agree that the UI is the same thing as first cause. The NDE'rs keep an intact module of their own consciousness during the episode, that is obvious, but they might very well be using a portion of the energy of the UI in doing that. All quantum activity is interconnected. The only proble with all this theorizing is we do not know what consciousness is. Wwe only know what we experience, not its foundation.
