Thank you for your reply which I find very interesting.
My view, based on the unique empirical natural science I have been studying is that while it is popular and even "logical" to connect our consciousness to our physiological brain, it is actually something that has no connection to anything physiological and consciousness can exist and function even without the brain, for example.
And we have the ability to "open up" our perception of reality and consciousness in a way that we can start sensing existence independent of our biological structure, even while still existing in this biological structure.
