Can Consciousness Exist Outside the Human Body?

The concept of whether consciousness can exist outside the human body has challenged philosophers and religious leaders as well for millennia. Would-be philosophers may be reminded of the famous line from Shakespeare, "To be or not to be", as they pondered the essence of the human spirit and that this spirit could exist after human life. On the other hand, religious leaders implore their followers to have "faith" and trust in their words or religious books for advice on the afterlife. But for those who are more interested in scientific evidence, there is a set of background already available and almost unlimited capacity to gather evidence as to further explore the validity of the concept of the ability of consciousness "to exist outside the human body.

The main body of evidence, I cite in this paper is the concept of out of body experience, or "OBE". Why OBE provide substantive evidence of whether consciousness can exist outside the body is the large number of reports where people have reported seeing and hearing things that would have been impossible to know from the physical location of their bodies and the state.

Most often, OBE occur when the human body is slipping out of consciousness, as in falling asleep or in case of injury, illness, or otherwise physically damaged. Sam was the story of a traumatic environment induced OBE. As a boy, Sam was severely beaten by a gang. When the pain of the blows seemed unbearable, Sam suddenly found himself floating out of his body from a perspective that allowed him to observe his body beaten. This external perspective, Sam realizes that he has not experienced the pain of his body, and realized that at this stage and he had no sense of fear of what would happen to him or his body. Sat suddenly received an overwhelming sense of peace that out of body experience. However, when the gang lost all interest in fighting the unconscious body of Sam, he felt his conscience be forcibly inserted into his body and the pain of the blows immediately returned.

In the case of Sam, he probably did not notice anything "unique" or scientifically significant that reveal a disinterested party that his observation was valid, or could prove that there was a real conscious experience outside its physical body. However, there are many cases that simply sought such evidence. There were many enterprising doctors have placed unique items over the lighting in their operating rooms, for example, as a playing card on the chance to hand off a patient may report the observation of their own practice - often from a higher point of view - and the card could then serve as a benchmark for validating the claimed observation. If the card can not be seen from anywhere in the room, except above the light, then a correct observation of the card would have a significant impact on reported sightings of a person when they were self- called unconscious.

Along similar lines was the report by Maria, a migrant worker who has suffered a cardiac arrest in 1977 and was taken to a Seattle hospital in an unconscious state. The day after his arrival at the hospital, while recovering in his hospital bed, Maria described leaving her body and floating in and out of the hospital. With this description, Maria has provided very specific evidence can not be known if the reported experience was valid: She said she saw an old tennis shoe dark blue sitting on the ledge outside a window to another After the hospital. The social worker who has heard of Maria went from room to room, check the edges of each pressing his face against the windows sealed and finally found a shoe that perfectly suited the details Maria had provided. More importantly, from the point of view of the shoe on the edge, it would have been impossible for Maria had never seen the shoe at ground level outside the hospital, or where she had been inside Hospital at any point in time. There is therefore no accounting for how Maria could have known about the shoe's health state, physical location and experience, leaving the possibility that observed somehow shoe while his waking consciousness traveled outside of his body, while his body was physically damaged and recovery inside the hospital.

William Buhlman based his book, The Secret of the soul, both on personal experience and the responses of more than 16,000 people who had also experienced OBE. OBE is one of the most common experiences and metaphysical are estimated to be experienced at some point in the lives of 25-34% of the population. With this level of experience, I feel the huge amount of anecdotal evidence of cases like shoe Maria are valid evidence that consciousness can exist outside the human body.
