People have near death experiences. That is the consensus. Notice that no one has had death experiences. That is no one who has remained brain dead has been able to walk and talk about their experiences. Thus for the corporal person, consciousness is within the brain.
Is it possible that a form on noncorporal consciousness leaves the body? Maybe. But when they only find their way back to talk to people like John Edwards it pretty much leaves the question open. Indeed maybe this is an indication that they don't have much of a thought process at all.
If I were dead and yet still alive, why would I go talk to people with little credibility, or attract so many suckers, just to have them tell my family silly things which even he can't get right all the time.
