IRREDUCIBLE MIND (Part 5): How Can Someone With Partial or No Brain Have Consciousness?

There has been a raft of Near-Death Experiences (NDE) reported in recent decades and those reports have generated a growing body of clinical analyses seeking to account for them that directly challenge the idea that consciousness is created by our brains.

It’s not just from NDEs, however, from which significant evidence that consciousness does not require a physical brain is harvested. Approximately half of people born with Hydrocephalus — the condition of excessive fluid in the skull limiting brain development — exhibit abilities typically thought to require fully developed brains.

But what if you are born with no brain at all, or suffer the presence of an aneurysm requires the brain to be completely shut down before the malady can be removed?

In the fifth and final video in the Irreducible Mind series from Inspiring Philosophy’s Michael Jones, check out the remarkable cases of Andrew Vandal and Pam Reynolds.

Trust me, regardless of your perspective on these matters, the Vandal and Reynolds examples, plus the concluding observations about Terminal Lucidity and Quantum Entanglement, will blow your mind (no pun intended!):
