> If the mind is not the brain then what is it, then? We have no external experience so we have no way to truly know the answer. Could the brain be a conduit for some external interface for each mind? Could the brain be an interface for some larger shared mind? Could the brain be a vessel that carries the mind while the brain is alive? Could the brain be a figment of the mind? Just because science can't yet describe subjective post-death experiences doesn't mean they don't occur. That being said, I'm personally in the rational constructivist camp wherein I think that our mental "scaffolding" obscures our ability to be objective when we try to reason about this. Though I am hopeful we find some answers someday!
