Actually I'm certified in NLP and Hypnotherapy. I haven't seen much of Derren Browns work. But one of the premises of NLP is that Map != Territory. Brain's experience != True reality.

Let me ask you this: Do you think consciousness can embody an object or another person... Or is it limited to your body and mind and nothing further?

You've clearly read up about this a fair bit so I'm compelled to ask you, in your view is the "soul" jsut a product of the ego?

"See the truth that thought, the outcome of the known, can never be in a state of experiencing. Experiencing is always the new; thinking is always the old. See the truth of this, and truth brings freedom-freedom from thought, the result. Then there is that which is beyond consciousness, which is neither sleeping nor waking, which is nameless: it is"  JIddu Krishnamurti

@2k0ol1 I think you have a misinterpretation of what "Consciousness" is. For simplicity, lets say you are a car, "brainwaves=the alternator turning" "Consciousness=the running engine".

Now for waves and chemicals. The entire Universe is made up of vibrating strings, "STRING Theory". Within this vibrating Universe, manifesting from these vibrating stings are the chemical process's. Stars, trees, oceans, you and me. This is my humble view

i wonder about consciousness being brainwaves and having electromagnetic properties, or if its more of chemical reactions, a combination of both i guess. I wonder about two human beings brains being completely in sync with eachother in a highly powerfull field or consciousness, ( im not really sure how much electromagnetic fields affect consciousness so thats why i said a field of consciousness) would they experience the same thing? In this thought I am thinking of the brain as a sort of antenna

@daveff66 all experience is product of chemicals in your brain

This is deep and I think I'm too new at this to comment but I use to be one of those people who feared death and with Alex's techniques I know death is not the end of existence.
