Gee thanks. Also, I do not see why I should have any prejudice in this factor. If anything, I am the person Least 'making stuff up'. No one can honestly say a spiritual realm exist, no matter or you visited or not. Yeah, I forgot to say that: Why do you dismiss the senses just because they only give access to a small spectrum of reality, and often they suck at that, yet if you (per)see(ve) a spiritual realm it is all true and right?
Yes. Quite true. I am completely right, just like you. I never heard you people say 'Probably' or 'but maybe I am wrong'. I don't say that is a bad thing or anything, but don't act like you have some intellectual higher ground. There are plenty of philosophers that would sort or less agree with me, at least on the subject of the probably not-existing of a spiritual realm or an eternal soul.
Oh gee, I never thought about what conscious is. Oh wait, I did. However, first off, I did ask for some study or article about that genius one-celled making choices. A.I. also makes choices, different even in the exact same environment, so is A.I. conscious?

Also, human conscious is somewhat overrated. Thinking mostly is talking to yourself. The brain just evolved in a way, so that it created consciousness. The conscious is a creation of the physical mind, there is nothing metaphysical about it (quite, quite probably).
Links to those studies please

Seriously, next think you are saying Cher the magical after-life medium isn't full of crack. Strange that all the people that get on TV always are frauds, or score just as good as someone admitting he is using a bunch of tricks to "mind read". But sure they are out there, just not on TV. Uh-hu.
I have to get it from people on a forum about Lucid Dreaming? To bad every magazine, every news report, every documentary, every debate I listened to never told me about this Truth, that is so obvious I can almost feel it up my asshole.

The biggest Irony is still that you are as certain as I am, maybe even more certain, while you too are just subjected to your senses, and also quite -so it seems- your imagination. : )[/b]
You seem to think that I'm making it all up but nothing I've posted here is an original thought of mine. Like I already said, I picked it all up doing a lot of reading. I'm curious about a lot of things, so I take time to find out what others have said about them. None of it is without controversy, disagreement and contention. There is no consensus and I'm not as certain as you think I am. But some really smart, honest people have spent a lot of time studying these things. Meanwhile, you give no indication that you've spent more time thinking about them than it takes to bang out quippy smart-ass replies. In reality, you're just too far behind the rest of the class. I'm not sure why I bother replying.

You want links to those studies? Go get'em yourself. I'm just saying that if you are curious about such things, they are very easy to find. It sounds like you're assuming (without actually checking) that no such studies exist. They do, many of them funded by your tax dollars which means they are (mostly) a matter of public record. Try google.com or wikipedia.org for starters. Do your own work. Or don't.
